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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Claims to be in the American wilderness
uses Metric
Unlike with longer distances and temperature, Americans don't strictly use imperial for shorter distances (m, cm, mm). It's on all of the signs and stuff, but we learn metric in school as well as how to convert to and from. In university-level physics classes, they almost solely use metric. So as an American myself, I didn't bat an eye at him using meters. But if they said that it was 30C outside...
Some Americans do see sense.
Perhaps lost some.
South Americans.
Every red white and blue blooded American uses the foot!
Well you gotta use both feet if you're going hiking
JUST ONE FOOT YOU COMMIE
Personally know several metric nuts who insist on using metric in their day-to-day life.
"Metric nut" sounds like there's a measurement to their insanity in the metric system
