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.

Anon needs to sit straight when taking screenshots

[–] slaacaa 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

be me

average 4chan user

love reading and sharing greentext stories

take screenshots of the best ones to save for later

notice one day that a screenshot seems slightly tilted

think it's just my imagination

days pass, more screenshots seem off

angles get worse, barely noticeable but there

try rotating my phone, doesn't help

open screenshots on my computer, same issue

post about it on /x/, get mocked and called a noob

start getting obsessed, spend hours comparing, measuring angles

losing sleep, seeing the tilt in my dreams

one morning, wake up, entire room looks tilted

try to walk, stumble and fall

look out the window, world looks upside down

panic, try to grab onto something stable

mother staring at me like I’m crazy

feel like I’m in a nightmare

lock the door

look at my screenshots, they’re completely upside down

see my reflection in the monitor, it’s me but inverted

can't take it anymore

scream, try to shut down the computer

power button doesn’t work, can’t unplug it

everything in my apartment starts spinning

fall to the floor, clutching my head

world fades to black

wake up in a padded white room

see a pen in front of me

draw greentext arrows on the walls, but they all look tilted

Wait wtf, the image is tilted? How does that even happen?

[–] olosta 19 points 1 week ago

A way to fool anti repost filters maybe.

The top right corner is darker than the top left corner, I’m guessing that is a photo of a screen

i had this happen to me while working IT:

user has problem.

User takes a picture of error message on phone. User sends photo to her email. User Downloads photo from email. User creates word document. User loads photo into the word document.

User prints word document. User sends the printed document to my office by internal mail. Document arrives next day. User calls me to make sure I got it, and explains her issue to me over the phone. Error message she took a picture of is just completely useless information that didn't help me when troubleshooting issue.

It's a new Windows 11 feature. If you press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L it will let you rotate your windows for more flexible placement on screen.

Pressing X to doubt. Not because it's a dumb idea (because I wouldn't put that past them), but because Microsoft is seemingly getting rid of every keyboard shortcut that doesn't involve the windows key.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That is a legit shortcut, but it does something far more stupid than rotating screens. It's actually ctrl + shift + win + alt + L

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Shoot, I forgot the Win key.

get laughed at for showing toy firetruck at school

dad wakes me up for drive to school

pass school

"dad where are we going"

"my friends want to meet you anon"

pull up to schoolmate's house

it's on fire

the firefighters are there

get to see my enemies die screaming while burning

get to see a real fire truck

mfw my dad took a day off to do a little arson to make me feel better

[–] jaybone 14 points 1 week ago

go to visit my dad in prison

he asked me to smuggle in some cocaine

I hide it in my firetruck

give him the firetruck

he hides the firetruck in his ass

all the other inmates make fun of him for hiding a firetruck in his ass

he builds a prison gang drug empire

he has everyone that laughed at him killed

now my firetruck smells funny

What starts with F and ends in UCK? Firetruck!

[–] lessthanluigi 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ngl, I still have the fire truck I got when I was five.

Only reason I didn't become a fireman was getting convinced I could do stuff in nursing that I was better at and help more people than I would as a mediocre fireman.

I dunno if it was true or not, but it ended up relatively good overall, so I ain't mad.

But shit, I got to ride in the trucks a few times anyway. My uncle was a volunteer fireman in the next town over, so as a kid I got rides when things were slow. Even went a few times as an adult on actual calls, though that wasn't supposed to happen lol.

I don't care if this is "fake" nor "gay", it is wholesome.
