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.

The only part of this that's true is that Australia has invasive rabbits.

Yeah I went down a rabbit hole (heh) trying to see if it was true.

And no, turns out it's just a bunch of pesticides and more recently (since the mid 90s) they apparently infect them on purpose with something that destroys their liver.

I heard they control mosquitoes this way. They release a ton of sterile male mosquitoes, the males mate with females, and the female lays unfertilized eggs. This dramatically cuts down on the mosquito population.

The sexy fakes is from mosquitos. And they're not sexy fakes, they're just like the other male mozzies but sterile

Australia has only used biological control. The stuffed rabbit host of a childrens' tv shows was named Mixie for one of the biological controls: mixomatosis - a rabbit virus used in the past.

Given the existence of products like "real doll", there's some merit to it happening to humans.

I don't know enough about any of it since I'm in a relationship with someone who has a pulse, and I like it that way.

It's a product aimed at people that can't get laid otherwise, and from what I hear it's usually a one-time thing because people soon realize it's as good as thrusting a plank.

Suggesting that it's real purpose is to control birth rate is just fucking ridiculous, nobody will ever ditch their woman because they figured that an unmoving full-sized fake vagina is better at sex than her.
