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.

Yeah but there's a difference between not knowing exactly how a car works and thinking that the exhaust is thrust. You can work that out by just observing a car, clearly they do not have enough exhaust velocity for it to achieve thrust, that should be inherently obvious.
Thinking the exhaust is what makes the car go is like thinking that the actors live inside your television. Is the thought of an eight-year-old.
Some people got an idea of something when they were very young and never revised that idea because they didn’t get in touch with it again.
I believed until I was like 8 or 9 or even older that the noise coming from a bottle with hot liquid in it was caused by a worm inside the bottle.
An adult told me this as a joke, which I took for a fact and never came in contact with the subject again, consciously.
Exhaust fumes accelerating a car feels very much similar. Kids logic
