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.

They are individual cellular organisms but they're not molecules. Individual molecular structures are too small for light to interact with so no matter how much you magnify them you're never going to see them.

That's why things like electron microscopes were invented. You can't just build bigger and more powerful microscopes it doesn't work.
