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'd feel bad about leaving them tied to a tree while I'm at work, so I'd probably just go with a bike which is fueled by snacks and doesn't even shit!

Well the actual motor that powers the bicycle does shit, though.

The increase in fuel you need for the physical exertion of riding a bike increase your waste output tho.

But there's also the byproduct of making you swole and potentially making exercise your new hobby, which then further increases your energy consumption and waste output...

Yeah, it gets you in shape: Triple bonus!

You even get a wide variety of fuel options for your bicycle. I rode one to work every day for a few years, and my fuel of choice was oatmeal, which is healthy, cheap, and delicious (esp. w/ berries and honey).

Unfortunately, I changed jobs and cycling is no longer practical, but riding a horse is even less practical (can't really tie them to the parking garage in the city...). Maybe I'll get an e-bike and get back in the saddle.
