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.

I was looking up e-scooters and a bunch of 1-star reviews pointed out how their battery caught fire.

Could have been fake reviews by competitors but either way, it freaked me out.

It's certainly an issue with some of them. I wouldn't buy a random no name one from alibaba. It might be safe. Or not.

I keep my scooter at the farthest point from the apartment exit just to be on the safe side. I also haven't heard many bad things about this particular model (Ninebot G30 Max).
