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.

Since I can’t see why people would be upset to know how diet can affect your skin’s ability to defend against radiations.

A lot of your downvotes probably come from people misinterpreting your message as some woo woo bunk about replacing sunscreen with a proper diet and you won't get sunburned, which clearly isn't what you're saying. However, its very easy for small, flippant comments to come across with wildly different connotations from the reader. Not really sure how to get around that, outside of way too much context.

Yeah, outside of way too much context. Reddit created a mentality where you have to comment a certain way, and only certain comments get seen. It's self fulfilling in teaching how to talk. "reddiquite" lol
