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.

Man, you can do that at 5 MPH and get a similar reaction. A few thousand pounds of car moving at 5MPH carries way more momentum than people realize.

Edit: 5 MPH is a brisk walk. If you've run into a lamppost or a tree during a brisk walk, then you should understand what I mean.

unless you find yourself between the car and a stationary object, the few thousand pounds of car has no influence here.

I do agree though that a human body traveling at 5MPH do carry way more momentum than many realize.
