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.

It is rare for something I see on the internet to make me bust out laughing.
Can we drop these redditisms? No one speaks like they’re from the 18th century…
Hear hear, Cheerio my good chap
I use "Huzzah" on the regs. It starts ironically, and then before you know it, it's in your lexicon.
That etymologically connects back to the Mongolian empire in the 13th century! It’s even worse!
What about: "Tally-ho pip-pip and Bernard's your uncle."
I see no issue there
I started saying dawg ironically…
Or you watch “The Great”
Indeed
It's good to have some typing quirks and varieities imo. It feels boring if everyone would write in thr same style.
Everyone on reddit says that and thank you good sir. Not a quirk unless wearing a fedora is a quirk
Why do you care so much how other people speak?
Is it harmful? No. Does it obscure meaning? Also no. Everything else is just personal preference, ie not your jurisdiction, Speech Cop.
Commenting on a forum meant for discussion isn’t “caring so much.” If you read, I was clear it’s a redditism that is cringey.
"The way you talk is cringe" isn't discussion, it's bullying.
Wanting to drop redditisms isn’t bullying. Blocked.
Lemmy equivalent of plugging their ears and blabbing "Lalala, I can't hear you!" Very fitting.
Is that a redditism? This isn’t a poop knife situation. Im fairly positive I can find Conan doing this on his show in the 1990s.
The poop knife isn't necessarily a reddit thing... I was well aware of my relative's knife long before reddit was conceived.
Eh, maybe so.
Pay no heed to the haters. They're so insecure that they get embarrassed at harmless things other people do.
No it’s just simply annoying. It’s weird you think it impacts someone that much. Criticism is okay.
It's weird you felt the need to jump to the defense of a bully.
Lmao a bully? Ok weirdo
I edited the comment, and I honestly think it's funnier / more impactful without it.
