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.

We should get polaroids and analog film again

I made every one of these predictions years ago

>I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity

And I'm open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now

I have a friend that does a rolling schedule on her hoarded old media, which according to her, is sufficient for the rest of her life.

Frankly I could probably make do with what I got. If I redownloaded every anime I ever watched, I'd have a little over 4 years worth of material to watch and rewatch over and over again. But if I never saw anything new, I'd never see anything new, and all my favorite shows were new once

New to me, that is. All my favorite animes came out like 15+ years ago

War and Peace 1966. A great adaptation of a great novel.

Man, the AI Bros shilling this stuff are really active in 4Chan, apparently.

Before the invention of video, humanity didn't have video evidence either and still managed. We are approaching the end of a ~150 year time period in the history of humanity in which video evidence is persuasive.

The last bullet is true even now. Just go into Threads or Bluesky. So many bots and scammers.
