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.

Maps/gps navigation and being able to talk to someone across the world for free (provided you have an internet connection). Genz and younger millennials don’t know how expensive long-distance calls were back then.
How calls were expensive..
How music hobby was expensive and nowadays you got the world music collection for less than 10 euro per month..
How we had to pay a few euros per movie when going to the video club to get a movie. And that would imply moving there to get it, moving there to return it. Nowadays I pay less than 10 euro per HBO max..
How we had to get into a public library to get some info on something and always would come very short, specially on some themes...
How electronic equipment was way more expensive and did way way less.
And this... And that... And this... And that..
Well, 0 is indeed less than 10.
We still have public libraries. For example scihub, anna's archive, the pirate bay.
