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.

Isn't non-alcoholic cider just apple juice? How unfortunate, I love some proper strong cider and there's lots to choose from round here.
"Apple juice" in the USA almost exclusively means clear, filtered apple juice.
Filtered vs unfiltered.
The left one is cider in American nomenclature, the right apple juice.
We have a wide array of alcoholic ciders, we just tend to usually call them "hard cider".
Because non alcoholic cider tends to be less shelf stable if it's any good, places that produce it tend to have at least a bit of a "thing" about cider season starting and recipies for hot cider and stuff.
The cider mill near me sells hard cider year round, but the fresh unfiltered stuff is only available during and just after apple harvest.
Everyone in the state is compelled to drive to the orchard and watch the presses crush apples, then buy some hot cider and donuts and walk around looking at the apple trees.
No, it's fizzy.
