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.

Unsolicited formatting help
If you want to see the arrows and not format as a quote throw some backslashes in front of the ~~less~~ greater than signs.

Otherwise, if you want to get rid of the gaps between the quote lines then put ~~less~~ greater than signs on the empty lines.

Edit: I had to fix some wonky formatting, lol
i believe if you do a double space at the end of each line it also stops automatic word wraping. Cute little trick. IDK why it works that way, it's kind of stupid, but whatever.
Unsolicited naming advice
Less Than points to the left
<(shape of an L), while Greater Than points to the right>(I got nothing other than it’s not an L).I believe it’s because we read from left to right, so the prominent number is on the left (I.e.,
8 is less than 10=8 < 10).Anyways, great advice! Carry on!
😊
You are right! The funny thing is I was trying to think of it that way and got it backwards anyway. Not enough mental RAM left after work for that kind of thing, apparently.
Oh nice, I've been using these \ things, we'll see if it's even rendered here

Shoot, there’s another way that involves turning the entire comment into plaintext code but I can’t remember the method.
