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.

Are you saying wheat domesticated early man?

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's more accurate to say all plants have always domesticated humans. We came after them, we depend on them to survive, we're required to consume their waste to live, so we can't live without them. They, however, have the option of consuming our waste to live, but are perfectly capable of living without us, and will likely continue to do so after we're extinct.

I thought cats domesticated themselves
