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.

With how many people there are out there, even something that happens to 0.1% of people over their lifetime will happen to 200k people living in the US right now (assuming 200m pop, which I think is low now). Assuming an average life expectancy of 75, that averages 2666.6 per year, or 7.28 per day (assuming every year is a leap year).
I don't know what the odds are of having kids at 20, but I'd guess the conditional probability of two successive generations both having kids at 20 is way higher than 0.1%, which means there's more than 7 new ones each day. And any of them might post this kind of thing where they talk about something their grandparent bought new.
