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.

This is nothing. Wait until you hear high schoolers addressing "chat" irl while not connected to any kind of chat.

Chat is this real?

I saw people talking about that as being perhaps the first fourth-person pronoun. Pretty interesting idea.

Still third-person though really

Nah, they were just talking to their friend, Chad.

Right, chat?

But "chatting" also refers to talking, no?
Unless I misunderstood your comment. I tend to do that.

Edit:

talk in a friendly and informal way.

Very much so. Not sure why I needed to verify it, but I would probably verify it's indeed 2024 if you told me that it's actually 1786, just to make sure it's not me thinking that.

Twitch streamers usually address their live chat as "chat". The person you are replying to heard high schoolers addressing chat, talking like they were streaming, even when they clearly weren't.
