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.

Pretty much any microwave made after 2000 actually has decent popcorn function. Seriously, try it. They use sensors to detect when to popcorn is ideal.
Why use anything but a pot on the stove:
Put a thin layer of canola or vegetable oil in the pot. Enough to cover the bottom but not so much that a popcorn kernel is covered.
Put 4 or 5 kernels in the pot and turn on the stove to medium heat. Cover.
Wait a minute or two until all kernels have popped.
Immediately add the serving size listed on the popcorn kernel package. Half a cup or whatever. Cover the pot.
Wait for the kernels to stop popping. Turn off the stove.
Transfer to a serving bowl and add seasoning (salt, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, paprika, etc.).
Eat a better bowl of popcorn than you've ever had.
Partner bought us a popcorn popper. Put the popcorn in the device, place a bowl in front, plug it in, and your popcorn pops. No oil, no pan, no mess, and it was like 10 bucks. It's basically a glorified hairdryer. This is the correct way to do popcorn.
