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.

Those green oranges are the best oranges you can ever hope to get.

In tropical regions it’s common for ripe oranges to be green

Tropical regions? Look at the guy! This is clearly somewhere in Eastern Europe!

No, oranges only go orange if exposed to temperatures below 13C

[–] franklin@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

What influence does temperature have on peel color? Sweet oranges require low night temperatures (below 55º F.) Before they will color well.

Huh, TIL.

When life gives you oranges...

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

When life gives you oranges, don’t make orange juice. Make life take the oranges back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn oranges, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Anon oranges! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the oranges! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible orange that burns your house down!
