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.

Mutual aid in a nutshell.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, except he thinks this is a gang instead of just what happens when people respect each other in society and work together.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 57 points 1 year ago

I guess this is mutual aid. More like food rescue.

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's not a "street gang" it's called mutual aid. This is a really inspiring story. We keep us safe.

Street gang sounds cooler

Did I just read a good greentext ?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Don't forget it's fake (anon doesn't have a job) and gay (anon is dreaming about having a gang of homeless guys around him)

You showed them humanity when most of the world doesn't. Of course they have your back.

The golden age of capitalism: False scarcity and criminalized benevolence.

Who is the mugger and who is the police? Who owns the store? Who said store can't sell old bread? Who enforces that?

What? You're taking this way too literally

Which board are these short stories usually on?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We can't tell you because then you'll go there and we can't have that on our conscience.

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

if only all the greentexts were so wholesome as this.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was once like you, went on 4chan and it was full of porn and racists. There's no one specific board for this, you have to sift through the endless garbage to find these stories.

[–] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Which is why these gain traction on link aggregators, because someone else did the hard work of sifting through the crap.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

Dunno if there's a new one for these but they generally are on /b/ or any of the other ones that are related to the subject matter i.e. cooking or anime

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

it's not unlikely that this was made with some greentext image generator.
i thought i had a link, in some other conversation somebody provided one before, but now i can't find it
