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.

Software is a list of instructions, you can execute it with pen and paper or just using your brain if you want.

Software is a necessary component, just like screws are a necessary component in an engine. Screws don't exist only in engines, have existed since long before engines, and can be used in other ways. Just like software.
