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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've taken accustomed to writing

2 + 3 = ___ or 2 + ___ = 5 and then later seamlessly transitioning to "2 + 3 = z, write down z:" or "2 + t = y, where y = 5. write down t:"

because it just seems so natural to identify these letters with natural things, such as numbers of beer bottles or cookies. kids typically giggle over these things because they think i'm making it up to be funny for their entertainment.
