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.

Know how to spot the fake? No one, no one, makes themselves out to be the villain in the story. Been the bad guy a few times, not going to admit it to you fuckers.

Open the door, get on the floor, Ridley will never be in Smash 4.

What about Hicks or Bishop?

Fake: anon has sex

Gay: "cant even [...] straight"

OP what the hell is wrong with you

That's never a question you have to ask of a 4channer.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago

It is in 2010.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

No this time it makes sense, why didn't OP use meme arrows

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seriously. This is the kind of thing that made 4chan great.

"If you can't say 'fuck,' then you can't say 'fuck the government.'" - Lenny Bruce

"If you can't say 'Keep punching her as hard as I can / Gets to a point where her face is a pool of blood' then you can't say 'Let's go after Scientology, what a bunch of dickheads'" - old 4chan

IDK what new 4chan is even doing.

various forms of explicitly engineered right wing political propaganda last I checked

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, probably so. I am 100% serious when I say that I think 4chan getting behind Trump early on and making him the meme candidate had a huge amount to do with his eventual success.

They used Chaos Magick

Damn it has been a while

That was a long walk. 🦕

Eh, it only works if the lyrics are actually relevant to the story

everybody walk the dinosaur

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is 15 years old. It's not about "working", or making a pun.

It's about getting someone momentarily interested in a story, even vaguely invested, or just getting an engaging pace going before suddenly and violently transistioning into a recognizable non-sequiteur.

Extra points for getting a cheesy song stuck in people's heads.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah it was a meme at the time

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s a legitimate question but I’m not sure I want the answer.

Clearly anon is doing the beloved dance of yore.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

"What will you have after 500 years" type of thing to do lmao
