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.

That’s rich coming from an American but I’m also surprised these haven’t become a thing here yet. Americans love convenience over everything, including human (or animal) dignity.

We prefer our hardboiled eggs de-shelled and single packaged in plastic in order to maximize waste, thank you very much!

Don't forget the pre-peeled citrus fruits sold in plastic containers!

You mean those little plastic containers with grapefruit or tangerines in checks notes artificially sweetened water?

I suppose the single serving version IS a bit wasteful but other countries do have those as well, they’re just slightly larger and come in tin cans instead.

Garage is terrible. Can't believe anyone still listens to it after like 2002.

I'm not sure that they do. The meme could be from the mid to late 90s as far as we know, it was just the only iteration of the car hole exchange I could easily find 🤷

Fair point, friend.

Might I recommend https://frinkiac.com/ for all your Simpsons related meme needs.

Wow, thanks, that's great! Or as Moe would put it:

You're welcome. All I ask is that you pay it forward and pass on the knowledge. Or as Homer would say

Pretty good to drive my car into, though.

Garage bands that is, not the band called Garbage, thats held up pretty well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Garbage is an awesome band.

UK Garage was a bland electronic pop genre that sanitised the underground jungle and breakbeat music that was popular in the 1990s.

In a pinch, you can also just flush a piece of plastic wrap down the toilet every time you eat a slice of long egg for the same effect.
