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.

look, if you're using the terminal and your distro shows a lot of hacker-y text on screen when updating, then yeah of course there's a chance that less tech-literate people are gonna think you're hacking into the mainframe... still the story is definitely exaggerated
