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.

It is rare for something I see on the internet to make me bust out laughing.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Can we drop these redditisms? No one speaks like they’re from the 18th century…

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 months ago

Hear hear, Cheerio my good chap

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I use "Huzzah" on the regs. It starts ironically, and then before you know it, it's in your lexicon.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That etymologically connects back to the Mongolian empire in the 13th century! It’s even worse!

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

What about: "Tally-ho pip-pip and Bernard's your uncle."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I see no issue there

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I started saying dawg ironically…

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

Or you watch “The Great”

☹️ I started saying bro as a joke and it just became something I can't stop saying.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's good to have some typing quirks and varieities imo. It feels boring if everyone would write in thr same style.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Everyone on reddit says that and thank you good sir. Not a quirk unless wearing a fedora is a quirk

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"The way you talk is cringe" isn't discussion, it's bullying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Wanting to drop redditisms isn’t bullying. Blocked.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Lemmy equivalent of plugging their ears and blabbing "Lalala, I can't hear you!" Very fitting.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The poop knife isn't necessarily a reddit thing... I was well aware of my relative's knife long before reddit was conceived.

Pay no heed to the haters. They're so insecure that they get embarrassed at harmless things other people do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I edited the comment, and I honestly think it's funnier / more impactful without it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No it’s just simply annoying. It’s weird you think it impacts someone that much. Criticism is okay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's weird you felt the need to jump to the defense of a bully.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Lmao a bully? Ok weirdo

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's been a while since I was caught this off guard by a green text

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And it's not even a green text

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's got the spirit

It almost wasn't 4chan

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago

What do you call it when a West Virginian gets a girl horny?

Relative humidity

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 months ago (2 children)

some good advice about nutting in your sister indeed

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

SEE IT THROUGH

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Hey, keep it in the family.

I kinda figured I should specify that too, but where's the fun in that ;)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Some good stoic advice and then it took a dark turn.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

This is why royal blood lines are so honorable.

Gay: It was his brother

Fake: It was the brother that came

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I've never wanted so badly to be a coward--Superb work OP ...you disgustingly brave bastard.
