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's been a while since I was caught this off guard by a green text
And it's not even a green text
It's got the spirit
It is rare for something I see on the internet to make me bust out laughing.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
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
Or you watch “The Great”
Indeed
I started saying dawg ironically…
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.
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.
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
Eh, maybe so.
Pay no heed to the haters. They're so insecure that they get embarrassed at harmless things other people do.
I edited the comment, and I honestly think it's funnier / more impactful without it.
What do you call it when a West Virginian gets a girl horny?
Relative humidity
This is why royal blood lines are so honorable.
someone who does things simply because he is not afraid ... that person is not brave but an idiot.
Take this advice ... I'm not afraid of this.
Exactly the point where this greentext evolved from generic motivational post to masterpiece.
Some good stoic advice and then it took a dark turn.
There it is.
It almost wasn't 4chan
I mean, it's a bit too dick-swingy and arrogant for my taste, but it ain't wrong either.
Drop the bullshit about cowardice, and there's some good advice in there.
some good advice about nutting in your sister indeed
Only if she's a coward
SEE IT THROUGH
Hey, keep it in the family.
I kinda figured I should specify that too, but where's the fun in that ;)
