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.

I don't know how people mess around on the dark web. I used Tor to bounce around onion sites back in ~2011 and learned my lesson. I haven't been back on since. Eff that. First of all, way too slow and finding sites is a pain. But even when I did find sites, it was too dangerous and creepy. I rather not even know what's on there. I can get obsessed with how shitty humanity is.

So long as you're tech-savvy it's not hard at all to make a safe, secure purchase (or so I've heard).

Unfortunately, it's currently the most reliable way to get LSD and MDMA..... :'(

Never though I would miss my shady AF dealer from the '90s and '00s

If I was buying mystery boxes of mystery shit on the deep web and ended up with a box of girl scout cookies I wouldn't even be mad.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 56 points 15 hours ago

That's the genius of it. Oh, my box is Thin Mints? Cool! Especially when you have had a few days to think of all the worse things it could have been.

Are girl scout cookies always the same or does it depend on where they come from? I've seen them in just about every American sitcom/animated sitcom ever and I'm just curious if they are a specific brand or something else?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 36 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

They're all the same.

"Girl Scout Cookies" is a brand of its own. They're mostly pretty good too. I'm a samoa guy, when I can be talked into spending way too much on cookies where the actual local scouts don't really see enough of the funding from the sales.

I'm not a fan of the organization. The cookies though, they're legit.

[–] Absolute_Axoltl@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Thanks for the answer. The need for something on such a huge scale just for girls scouts seems crazy to me! But your country is on a huge scale I suppose.

[–] OfficeMonkey@lemmy.today 31 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Small correction, only discovered when I moved across the country: there are two factories producing Girl Scout Cookies -- and the recipes have overlap, but each production company has a few unique ones. So sometimes I have to order from my niece rather than my neighbor.

Some of them are the same everywhere, though.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

That's why in some areas Samoas are called Caramel Delights. IIRC, they use extremely slightly different recipes, and there is some sort of licensing agreement between the two.

All I know is that as a Cub/Boy Scout, I loathed Girl Scout Cookie season, because it overlapped with Boy Scout Popcorn season. It took me years to figure out that the way to sell the stuff was to completely ignore the product, and sell the idea of "keeping young boys from inventing their own entertainment."

I did not know that! Thanks for the info :)

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Mystery flavor obviously.

What could possibly go wrong?

Obviously!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I would've sent nothing and kept the boxes

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 57 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

But that would have made it illegal. You at least need to deliver.

If this was real I'd be interested in the details. Did anon accept fiat or crypto? Were the boxes advertised mainly on the darknet itself? Or clearnet, and if clearnet how did they get users that know wtf an onion link is or how to use it? Were the police alerted by an irate customer calling the police near the return address, or were the cops buying the cookies as a sting operation?

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 11 points 10 hours ago

Yes! All of that.

Probably not true at all....
