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.

> setting has bikes and trains
> still using cars as main form of transportation
Cars are much more advanced tech than bikes. Hell we have partly self driving electric cars now. That's some sci-fi shit
huh, now i want to slap some sensors on my ebike so it can do ACC
That's why I can't understand how some bikes can cost as much as a small used car.
And some watches cost far more than both.
Price isn't always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷♀️
Buying something at the beginning of its usefulness vs the end where it's practically falling apart and worth only what you can sell its parts for...

You do know steam powered locomotives started appearing in the early 19th century, long before than cars?
