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.

Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.
So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??
Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
