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.

i couldn’t find data including non-commercial crashes. i welcome corrections.

358 crashes in a year is close enough to an average of one per day that it's pretty fucking pedantic to say "but not every day - especially given that most of the time that people say something happens "every day" it's being used loosely, not literally.
"People get shot by cops every day" is a phrase that is effectively accurate, even if nobody happened to be shot on, say, February 21st.

Fair enough. I figured if I threw a random date out, there was like a 99.99% chance that somebody was shot on that day.

Yeah I saw the date and was like "challenge accepted" lol
