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.

So y2k actually was a problem. It wasn't the date crisis, but it does seem to be digital (i.e. SM seems to normalize larger body sizes).

Isn't that a major plot point of Matrix?
