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.

There were some experiments where currency was actually denominated in hours, usually as part of a co-op system where you were literally trading for hours of labour.

I think the most famous one was in Ithaca, NY.
