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.

I did own a hamster, when I was 6 years old.
I also didn't know shit, because I was 6 years old,
and I don't know about the challenges of chasing a hamster (which has something to do with yeeting it out of the window, somehow?) because I didn't yeet a hamster out of the window,
and even if I did I wouldn't remember it well because I was 6 years old.

What kind of child were you at either of those ages, sheldon_cooper@lemmy.world?

I didn't get my first hamster until I was 8. Anon apparently has one at 9.

I also didn’t know shit, because I was 6 years old,

Sure, but we're talking about a kid 50% older than 6 years old. There's a lot of cognitive growth between those 3 years. I don't think you'd say you were as stupid at 9 as you were at 6 are you?

and I don’t know about the challenges of chasing a hamster (which has something to do with yeeting it out of the window, somehow?)

I don't know why I have to walk you through this, but okay: If anon at 9 assumed that the hamster would safely parachute down to the ground 4 stories down, then the moment that hamster was unguarded, it would bolt. A 9 year old that has ever taken their hamster outside knows this. A 9 year old typically doesn't want to lose their pet. So this was why I said that anon never had a hamster (as in this post is fake).

and even if I did I wouldn’t remember it well because I was 6 years old.

You don't remember anything from when you were 9 years old (as Anon was)? Are you saying if you had a pet at 9 you have no memory of it today? That...wouldn't be normal.
