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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is why people like this are told to go outside or touch grass.

[–] [email protected] 148 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Frankly all of 4chan should.

But then our supply chain of clinically insane greentexts would fail.

I heard a story about a whole world that was perfect because they locked a kid up in a room and threw all the bad stuff in there with the kid. The poor kid suffered all of the world's miseries so that others could enjoy life. That kid's name? 4chan.

4chan is 99% deplorable garbage. I won't even go into /b/. Helllll no. But oddly enough, some of the internet's best memes come out of there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Assuming only a place of pure misery could produce those memes

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (8 children)

4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I've had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.

Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.

Through this sieve would come the ascended madmen. Those who escaped the cave and rejected the reality without, retreating to their chamber of hate and stagnation. The truly unhinged. No more naive, parroted bastardizations of the Socratic method. Only irreparables.

This select choir of lunatics voluntarily ablating their sanity will be decadence enough, I think

most of them were social outcasts long before 4chan. That's actually how they got there in the first place.

Everyone will be having pleasant conversations outside, but these guys won't.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 week ago

Imagine being so obsessed by black dick as 4Chan.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago (1 children)

interact with people

Instructions unclear, helicoptered my dick around but there appeared to be no ceiling fan.

Anon learns that outdoors is fake and gay.

Wtf is a Gonial Angle or a Canthal tilt?

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Gonial angle is this:

Gonial angle picture

Canthal tilt is that:

Canthal tilt illustration

As I was googling I've seen articles mentioning some angles statistically more attractive than others, that's predictable, but then incels take it as another reason why they are genetically predisposed to stay virgins and have no power to change that.

The ifunny watermark really tips this over the edge, comedically.

Ah, am woman, can confirm I only date mane with a Gonial Angle over 140 degrees, or under 30

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

how do you bring out the protractor on dates?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

Oh, us females inherently judge the angle flawlessly on first sight.

I've no doubt that at least half the articles about those phrases will lead you down a path of right wing fuckbaggery.

I'm going to guess at "Incel excuses for not getting laid."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Anything but the harsh reality that they could get laid if they behaved better and presented themselves better

You need to touch less grass and spend more time online.

Interacting face-to-face with non-degenerates results in normal chat. Whoda thunk?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think their cope is that "people aren't mentioning that but they think it" etc

This is depressing as fuck. People have been murdered en masse by radicalized morons from 4chan. They literally live in this bubble of their own creation where they honestly believe that the world has singled them out for victimization.

Lemmy in a nutshell too tbh.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

I don't know what boards you're on, but wow. Not the experience I'm having on Lemmy. You might wanna check your subscribes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

go outside

interact with people

nobody is talking about linux

nobody is talking about the bad thing that amazon did today

nobody is talking about self hosting or privacy

everyone just having normal and relatively pleasant conversation and going on with their day

I like how ambiguously

This place

can either mean "4chan" or "outside."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure political extremism works the same way.

I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.

Meanwhile in the real world, I've encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They're single, don't have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what's going on in my kids' school...

Fake, we occasionally mention OnlyFans even when outside

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No one maybe talking about lookism but they're practicing it.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Between strangers, yes. For social groups, people tend to stop seeing each others looks as they get to know each other. This is where people's advice to work on your personality is necessary. If you're out just expecting random people to approach you because of your looks, you're going to be waiting around for a long time unless you're blessed with the lucky quality of being born gorgeous.

If you go outside more you also notice that there aren't a lot of gorgeous people in the real world. (No, Tinder, clubs and other places where people LARP don't count as the real world.)

Because online, people only talk about those things.

In the real world, they are doing them. And so much more. But usually when you're not looking.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

As if anon would call those conversations normal or pleasant.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

What, no mention of phrenology? I've lost touch with 4chan, too much grass touching for me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Wait! Step-sister, this is wrong!

I don't know half the terms used and I'm pretty sure I never want to.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Terms like "outside", "people", "dating", "pleasent conversations" and "touch with reality"?
