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.

No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

Bro what? It's a greentext - it's 4chan. They all need theraphy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but does nobody know what a paperweight is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, they probably don't 😅 just like floppy disks. The term now generally means "useless"

Urban dic implies heavily on apple products too

That is literally the exact definition I am trying to explain to these worthless dumbfucks.

"Functional machine" is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as "functional" :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.

Yes. The person who correctly points out that functional computers are not paperweights is a cultist. If you legitimately believe that, you need a whole lot worse than prison.

computers

Apple don't make computers, they make wealth extractors.

Seems like the anti-cultist are the real cultist
