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.

Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so... :'D

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 51 points 8 months ago (1 children)

After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?

[–] match@pawb.social 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

might've recovered from long COVID

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 months ago

As she apparantly liked roses before and now does no longer, I read it as 'she was born without the ability to smell'.

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 99 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.

[–] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 55 points 8 months ago (3 children)

or he may have signed while saying it.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 23 points 8 months ago

I think it would be instinct by that point.

In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.

Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.

Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant

I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 48 points 8 months ago (1 children)

a screwdriver does the trick, its a one time adjustment though

So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.

Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

what if they're both fat

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 8 months ago

the real question is if it's also gay too.

Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together..

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 8 months ago (1 children)

NO, IM FINE. ITS ALLERGIES.

WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS IN THE HOSPITAL?

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 35 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I never expect when greentexts hit right in the feels.

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 26 points 8 months ago

Never knowing what to expect is the fun part of reading greentexts.

[–] sweetpotato@lemmy.ml 31 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

This is really cute, but the first thing you should've said to her is the cheesy pick up line from the day you met her.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"just a little better" probably an understatement
