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.

That is why I just harness the power of the sun, like a true god would.
we are addicted to foreign ichor of dead gods
like whale cum

The text is full of nonsense... But why not have a strong opinion based on feelings and spread it online? Works so well for humanity.

It's all a spectrum. You start with pure light from the sun and air making sugar in plants, then the sugar is condensed into plant fiber then the plant fiber is squished into the ground for millions of years and the carbon in the fiber is squeezed into pure carbon, and you get pure dark beautiful dry coal. Then you take ground up dinosaur guts and throw them in a pit and you get gross mixed crude oil with everything in it. But it's all just carbon.
