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.

That's that evolutionary programming kicking in, convincing you to slave away with the goal of increasing the survival rate of your offspring.

I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying that your'e a machine and this affects your program:

If(havebaby=true){parentalmotivation++}

That's going to always increase parentalmotivation.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're using one of the languages that uses := for assignment. :P
