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 when you talk through a problem with an inanimate object, traditionally a rubber duck. The process of explaining the problem can help you organize your thoughts and identify otherwise elusive problems. It's a common technique used by programmers debugging their code.
