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.

There were some experiments where currency was actually denominated in hours, usually as part of a co-op system where you were literally trading for hours of labour.
I think the most famous one was in Ithaca, NY.
would love to read more about this
That one was called the Ithaca HOUR. I learned about the Cincinnati Time Store, which was maybe the first one, on a podcast that I cannot find now. So I'm somewhat useless but there are some names to search at least!
Ah nice, this led me to
