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.

Why do people always say “be me” on these things?

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Idk why anyone isn't mentioning this but it's kinda like how people say "POV:"

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I haven’t actually seen that one.

Green text usually follows "be me" with some indication of gender and age. Eg Be me 51m.

It's from 4chan. The format is an early form of brainrot.

No, I mean why the choice of words. I don’t understand it…like, stylistically I guess I’m saying?

It’s a 4chan thing or green text thing.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

Green text is a 4chan thing

Kinda like asking why do they say skibidi toilet? Its just stupid nonsense, don't over think it.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

That’s totally different. Your superior was just curious about it.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

You should strive to be me because I'm better than you.
