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.

The truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.

You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.

And yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?

Alpha Centauri

That was one of the times we bothered you.

Yeah but the time before that we put a man on the moon with it

And that’s why Imperial is better, Metric just crashes spacecraft into planets.
