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.

It's not pressure under the wings, it's fucking Bernoulli sucking on top of them.
(So, yes, sure, it is gay, but it's not fake.)
Actually, I studied aviation in university. It's literally just magic.
But then how can they fly upside down?
Flaps. (As in, the hinged bits at the back edge of the wings, that essentially change the shape of the wing as required, not by flapping the wings; that'd be an ornithopter, as in Dune, not a plane.)
Because air doesn't give a fuck about gravity
When you nut, but Bernoulli keep sucking...
I'm 100% convinced this was never a battle of airframes and manufacturers and simply was down to: "No, sir/ma'am, I will not fly the derpy plane into combat. Can't do it. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REST OF THE PILOTS WILL LAUGH AT ME"
