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.

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...
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
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
Sounds like a failure to set good expectations. Sure there are times people just don't listen, but if everyone else is saying this kind of thing, maybe there's a common factor...
The best way to find people to go on hikes with is on hikes
I despise 99% of scp but that sounds like a fun idea for one.
I'm fat and lazy and still love hiking. I'd pull on my hiking boots and join in a heartbeat.
I'm neither and I love hiking but there's no such thing as a beautiful marshland tbh
I swear yal post/upvote the most normie greentexts. Where's the crazy off the wall shit?
On 4chan
The crazy ones I've posted get downvoted to hell. People seem to equate laughing at Anon with supporting whatever craziness Anon has written.
Lemmy has no chill lol. We might even be more prudish than Reddit. My guess is our demographic skews older so people here don't care for "dank" content as much.
Almost ever community is way too serious. They need to remove the stick from their ass.
Or just maybe people don't like going on their social media to be blasted by slurs and porn. Sometimes we just want the funky little guys to post funky little things y' know
