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.

Didn't say which country, here 6 yo definitely ride their bikes alone. At least when it's like town center where cars normally aren't even allowed.
Lol don't bother, most north Americans will never understand. In my city a father had to fight in court for years for the right to let his 3 kids ride the bus alone. He was at risk of losing his kids for daring to teach them to be independent before they were old enough to drive.
We don't even have spaces where a six year old could bike alone safely. Our cities fucking suck.
Sounds like paradise. Can I ask what area you reside in?
In Germany, where people love cars but also love Fußgängerzonen (areas only for pedestrians) and Spielstraßen (literally translates into play street, you can only drive 10 km/h). Like these:
Of course: how else would they get to the mines?
I don't think other countries have Mountain Dew, do they?
Yes they do.
