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.

iirc charcoal (coal made from wood) was used first, then stonecoal, then oil

so it was a continuous transition. they didn't just wake up one day and started digging

This is the first I'm seeing "stonecoal" - is that what its really called?

idk in german it's called Steinkohle and Holzkohle, literally "stone coal" and "wood coal"

how would you call it then?

in english the rock kind is just "coal", and the wood kind is "charcoal"

It's more like, hey, this stuff burns and we don't have to wring out a whale to get it!

The text is full of nonsense... But why not have a strong opinion based on feelings and spread it online? Works so well for humanity.

That is why I just harness the power of the sun, like a true god would.
