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.

The amount of people in the comments who don't immediately know this is because our faces are slightly asymmetrical and we're used to seeing them in the mirror is concerning.

Other people get the same effect when they see your face mirrored.

I knew this, I just disagree completely. Flipping the image doesn't help, but changing the focal length does. It's not the mirrored image, it's the lens distortion

That too. Cameras have to be further away than a human to emulate what humans would experience at a certain distance.
