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.

Then you realize that you died somewhere between steps 2 & 3.

I once saw him down six chained removedy Italian glizzies without breaking eye contact. Anon’s got this.

Your instance fails the scunthorpe test. It says s-p-i-c-y.

LemmyNSFW admins keep making rookie mistakes.

As in the function or that I removed comedy? In either case, yes.

No because this is ~~classical~~ operant conditioning not Pavlovian.

Edit: Corrected for my stupid response while exhausted.

I think its like every pavlovian is a classical but not every classical is a pavlovian.

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

This is what happens when I'm posting while exhausted. It's not Pavlovian/classical, it's operant conditioning.

Because a raging silverback gorilla that can bench two tons just isn't enough - it needs to be a swole silverback for it to count.

Some guys really have self-confidence issues.

No wonder even his made up girlfriend dumped him.

There's no such thing as an adolescent silverback. A silverback is a fully mature dominant male. They don't gain the silver coloration until they are mature, so the entire premise is a contradiction in terms.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Out of all the arguments that could've been made you chose the dumbest.

Silverback is a species. Whether or not it has the silver back is irrelevant. It would still be an adolescent silverback even without a silver back.

I didn't know so I googled it, you're wrong. The species is Mountain Gorilla. Silverbacks are mature male troop leaders:

https://virunga.org/wildlife/primates/mountain-gorillas/silverback-gorilla/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla

The Wikipedia article makes exactly one reference to silverbacks, again referring to the leader of the troop. Do the world a favor, check yourself before you talk shit.

I reject your reality and choose to believe that weird guy's.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So a silverback is a specific species of mountain gorilla that has a distinctive silver hair on its back after a certain age.

Almost like I said silverback is a species

Bald men are my favorite species. It gets me moist knowing that they can’t get me pregnant.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Lol, now say "rooster is a species". Fuckin dork

~~Redditor~~ Lemmy user admitting they might be wrong challenge (impossible)

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

Nah I'll admit it

I looked it up at first and the phrasings I kept seeing was "species of mountain gorilla" so I assumed that meant it was a specific species. Woke up to the downvotes so I looked a little deeper and found out I was wrong.

Personally I blame Google for not being able to answer concise questions like "is a silverback gorilla a species" but it is what it is ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

According to the foundation’s website, the growing problem affects one in every 29 million Americans, and one in every 80 Congolese.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Reading through the green text

What kind of deranged experiment is- Oh. ........Oh.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

If you're going for bulk and rage, you're forgetting the copious amount of steroids...

So much effort... Just deliver to her adult male chimp after 3 weeks in solitary confinement.

This was funny until it became misogynistic, I guess

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How? It could be a woman with a woman as an ex, nothing in the post suggests gender.

Methinks projection from you, friend

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

We are talking about 4chan here, but you are more right than wrong.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Fair point lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Did anon have a workout buddy and this is about cheating?

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

I swear I've seen this in Family Guy
