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.

Same here. I learned about Flat Earthers, and assumed they were sarcastic, like Birds aren't Real. Took me two years of occasionally coming across their shit to realize they were serious. I was flabbergasted.

That's when I started to understand how stupid people can be. They can be all the stupid, and in unsettling numbers.

Yea yea birds aren't real we all know that. But have you ever gotten really close to a bird? Like close enough to tell if it has dimension? NO. OBVIOUSLY BIRDS ARE FLAT!

I think birds aren't real is starting to be taken seriously, too.

More like the techbros took inspiration...

I think the birds aren't real people have it all wrong.
Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic "birds" to begin with?
Clearly it's just a distraction from the real harsh truth.
