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.

Never heard that before, what's the reasoning? Given that they contain metallic elements, have metallic properties, have metallic bonds, and many are colloquially referred to as metals, what makes you think they aren't metals?

  1. I was kinda trolling

  2. They're not Metals in the context of pure chemical elements

Ah yeah of course it's not an element, though I don't think the original post was about the best elemental metal

idk, I just assumed it at first, since alloys are usually supperior, so the best metal would be neither iron nor aluminium, but since anon's fav metal was iron... you know
