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.

If I had a dollar for every American mentioning Germans/WW2 when I told them I'm Dutch, I would be retired now.
as a northern european I'd ask how many dikes do you own
edit: dikes is not a spelling mistake (i think)
"dyke" is British English and "dike" is American English for a levee or flood bank. I don't own any of those because they belong to the government.
Both spellings are also slang for butch lesbians, and owning those has been illegal for about 160 years now.
How about windmills, you must own a couple of those
My dad owned part of one of the first wind turbines in the country, does that count?
