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.

That doesn’t even rhyme. Garbage.
In case you are not joking:
This was translated from Ancient Greek. Of course it won't rhyme; Ancient Greek poetry is based on foot and pitch, not rhymes. And even if it used rhymes the translation would butcher them.
Calling it garbage because it doesn't rhyme is like looking at a translation of Shakespeare into Japanese, and saying it's garbage because Shakespeare was a functional illiterate that couldn't count morae.
Regardless, the poem already shows a woman talking about romantic love around 600 BCE. It's already enough to tear apart what Anon is saying. Insert mentions of patriarchy here.
If you're joking: derp.
You might be right but you also come across as a pedantic snobby culture bro asshole. Shove up your Greek knowledge up your giant ass.. if you want to share knowledge do it kindly.. arrogance is not a good method to share knowledge you muppet.
Your comment is funny so I'll answer it, even if I typically would ignore shit like this. Quotes are out of order.
Did I, in any moment, insult MacN'Cheesus (the OP)? Nope. I didn't even criticise him; I'm saying Anon (the 4chan poster) got things wrong. OP is just sharing it.
I'm not even assuming ignorance from his part; note how I outright said "if you're joking" (implied: "you might know this, and you might be saying what you say just for the sake of a joke, dunno").
I'll go further. OP, if you felt insulted in any moment by my comments ITT, I apologise.
...but perhaps I'm being unkind towards Anon, in 4chan? Even if he were to read the shit I wrote, not really. I'm focusing on the matter, not the person. I didn't even call him an incel, even this shit he's saying is incel tier.
So cut off the crap and stop being a liar. Until now, I wasn't unkind towards anyone here dammit.
You're being also a hypocrite:
If you're so eager to vomit "be kind!" towards the others, make sure to lick your own vomit once it hits the floor. Follow what you preach.
"Come across"? So you aren't accusing me of "being" an arsehole; you're whining because of how things look like??? Pfffthahaha.
Let's say I am a [Ctrl+C Ctrl+V] "pedantic snobby culture bro asshole". Still better than being a whiny, little and pathetic thing, who writes like a kid almost ready to cry, and whose comment boils down to a huge "WAAAH, THIS HURTS MY FEE FEES", all because someone else shared stuff about an obscure topic that is related to the OP.
Cry me a river.
[inb4: whiner starts assuming things about my emotions. I'm not going to read it, so... who cares.]
