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.

"Have a 4chan?" Isn't 4chan loginless?

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 105 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Surely they mean that they fear they will fall in love with someone only to find out that they're the infamous hacker known as 4chan

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Wait I thought anon was run by two people. Anon and femanon.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Who is this 4chan?

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Now everyone just uses the same username "anon" as a sort of running gag.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Sort of*

No*?

I'm assuming this has something to do with you being Dutch. But otherwise that was a nice joke, 5/7

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No. It was a combination of it being 6 a.m., this being a shitpost community, and autocorrect.

Also it's very ignorant to assume someone makes a typo just because of their nationality.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I just view the Dutch language as jank English. My apologies

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 months ago

to be fair to this person finding out someone you love paid for 4chan pass would be absolutely devastating

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if you have 4chan gold!

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fucking normies not knowing about 4chan platinum.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that the one that makes you become an hero?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That is part of the application criteria. You have to have an hero'd before they will every consider inviting you to apply.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It remains loginless but you have to verify your email address or wait 900 seconds before every post.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 20 points 2 months ago

tripfags hate this one simple trick

[–] imecth@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wait 900 seconds before every post.

This only applies for the first post, you're probably deleting their cookie that tracks your browser.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I've never actually waited the 900 seconds.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Only if you're not what they call a "tripfag".

I believe that the deep web used to refer to websites not referenced on search engines. Which was the case for 4 chan.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 41 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think this is still the definition

The deep web,[1] invisible web,[2] or hidden web[3] are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.

But I don't remember a time that 4chan didn't appear on search results, it's just that the content disappears so quickly that the result you do get (and you get some results) aren't worth much, so they're demphasized. But I remember a long while back searching on Google with "site:4chan.org" and getting results.

[–] vorpuni@jlai.lu 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Facebook is also deep Web for most of it. Normies are the real freaks.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

genuinely this. I used to think the dark web was so evil but then I found that it's literally just 70% people trying to scam idiots for money with edgy murder shops, 20% broken websites, and 10% dope ass art projects.

The real harm is YouTube shorts. Not even TikTok, it's relatively tame with some attention seekers. YouTube shorts makes rapists come off as the good people in society and seeing some kid IRL praise Andrew Tate is 1000x more terrifying than any decapitated head photo or jumpscare could be.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think I agree but tiktok did help a rapist win the presidency.

do we even know?

Nope, they were clearly dating moot

[–] CrunkyB@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How does one get a 4chan and how to avoid it? Is there a Vax?

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

No.

Vax makes autist. Entire 4chan is autist. Therefore vax causes 4chan. QED

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

This community really shows how nice and wholesome /b/ really is, I think I'll go there now

Oh wait the entire first page of the board is filled with pervert shit

Edit: on a refresh, there's also some nazi sympathizing. Cool! Wholesome!

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

We got another one

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

But to kill one must know life.

a 4channer is a mixed bag. Worth the time investment on sussing out, for sure.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

You can easily tell when a light is going to change, simply by checking the crosswalk indicator. If DONT WALK is blinking, the light is about to change.

(That said, some lights with low traffic in one direction are programmed to get ready to change at a moment's notice, in case a car pulls up, but most aren't. So in that situation all you gotta do is check to see if a car is waiting for green if the crosswalk is blinking, to determine whether or not it's going to change.)

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago

I used to try to snap when the light changed... No tricks or method, I'd just start counting down in my head from a number that felt right and snap

Years of doing it, and now I just know when the light is going to change. It takes time to learn it for a new place
