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.

I've been scrolling through this c/ and I've gotten this far down, I'm basically doing the same. I think I'll stop now.

It really looks like that's what they do. My brother (13 yo) stays on the same posts for a long time, let's them loop for 6 times and then scrolls... And yeah, they tend to okay that stuff really loud for some reason

As a zoomer I still find that stuff strange. Although to all the people saying social media is bad, lemmy is also social media and can be just as bad for you. Go outside, touch grass or something. Better than shitting on some kid who was neglected by his parents and given a phone as a replacement.

new rule for millennials and gen x - if you can complete the phrase "RonCo Showtime Rotisserie - Just set it, and ________" then you don't get to make fun of tiktok

I see more boomers blasting their phones than any other demographic

I blame the phone designers removing the headphone jack. We now have a generation of people who grew up without it,always using the speaker, max volume out loud is just how they exist, it's the new normal.

I tease my husband when he is on Facebook because my God it sounds exactly like when the kids are scrolling TikTok. Don't know how he can stand it. But he doesn't do that out in the world.

My wife (a millennial) does this all the time at home. Part of me thinks it's her way of getting me to leave the living room so she can fart.

if your wife isn't farting on you are you really in love?

So I've been clearing rooms backwards it seems

I swear, the next time I’m in the situation where someone is blaring their music in public I’m going to go out of my way to jam out with them and appreciate it.

whenever it happens to me it's always either:

country pop with a hint of jingoism

blown out audio from a YouTube video with a lot of screaming

I don't even hear rap or hip hop that much anymore, those were the good old days.

Unfortunately I think this is real.
