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.

It has pretty much always been a low IQ thing when it is just about saving a negligible amount of letters. This is not your "afk" or "brb" where time is of the essence, this is similar to the people who use "u" instead of "you".

I feel like it's a low iq thing not to be able to fill in a shortened word from context. New words like rizz, on the other hand, they just have to be learnt.

its not about saving time its just more convinent, sm is wayy more convinent that something, and it can be understood even if you dont know with good context

Digital messaging has autocomplete, and while it ducking sucks (and is getting worse, thanks LLMs), it still does all the work for you.

yeah no, i use foss keyboard which dosent collect data,

and is getting worse, thanks LLM

this is the real low iq take, there is no llm in auto complete, if you meant use of auto regressive transformer then that only made it much much better, and they were using transformer since like 2018 its nothing new

If you do have a keyboard actually typing out the word is usually not the limiting factor either.
