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.

Babies are just really fragile.
Current theories include a cut-off blood flow to their brain stem from turning their head, and honey acting as a paralyzing poison on them.

That being said, the Netherlands reduced SIDS cases by a factor of 10 over other developed nations through a system of continuous education and support for parents in the months before and after birth.

I think they also gave every new family a safe place for the baby to sleep - a cardboard box.

I fucking hate this implication. How evil to target mother's who lost a newborn and paint them as the purpotrator instead of the victim, like, this is really an evil and vile perspective. It suits /b/ 15 years ago, but shame on all you lemmings for upvoting. I hope you experience the same existential heartbreak someday.

It helps to think of this place like a zoo, we come here to watch the silly monkeys, it doesn't mean we think they're right.

I must ask you to read the community description, especially if you never read it before.

Lmao read the sidebar. You’re doing it wrong.

"No you see you're doing it wrong, you're meant to uncriticically broadcast the toxic views so that scrollers can't tell if you support them or are doing it ironically. No I'm pretty sure it's fine, there's a jokey disclaimer in the sidebar, I'm sure noone will see their own worst side reflected and feel it reinforced. Aren't we soooo funny. "

I agree with your take, probably most people that have children do. But i hope you don't wish this on anyone.

Yeah, this is bullshit. Most of these points are just made up.
