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.

We don’t build pyramids anymore because we’ve figured there are better things to spend the money on.

Yeah, like cuboids which are mostly air inside for big box retailers.

Also, most countries don't honor their politicians as god-kings. Maybe US hillbillies will (try to) build a pyramid when Trump finally dies.

A golden pyramid, made from his shoes and NFT's

We don’t build pyramids anymore because we got better at building shit. Ramses II was out there commissioning shit that the pyramid builders couldn’t imagine being able to have built. And he could never imagine buildings of steel and glass built anywhere we feel like. Just try explaining Mexico City to these people. When we want massive monuments to hubris a pyramid is too simple for it usually unless we go with a glass and steel one. Also because it’s an inefficient use of space
