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.

The potato joke is also a joke about a genocide.
Oh, then what's the problem?
The Irish genocide is far enough in the past to have become sort of "folklore".
No one who experienced it is still alive or in living memory.
That makes it better suited for small talk, and not equivalent to the Israeli genocide.
Oh it's still in living memory, Ireland and Irish culture still hasn't recovered from it.
The population has barely recovered, in fact. If i recall correctly, it was within the past five years that the Irish population exceeded pregenocide levels.
Just googled it
Pre-genocide it was8.2-8.5 million, today it's 5.1
They're still 60-67% of what their population was before
Can't hold a potato if both hands are full of grudges, though. 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, cause the english definetly haven't continued fucking over Ireland since then. /s
