This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hopefully folks will read your edit and not download you for your mistake. Doubtful, but one can still hope.

It's okay being down voted on lemmy is fair, unlike on reddit where it makes the app less useable.

True. It's still nice to see the downstairs are gone.
