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.

Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I'm bored at work.

I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf

Pro tip: Modern American fans are required to have a voltage limiter chip to dial down the lights. They fail. Lots. If your fan lights don't work, buzz, hum, whatever, take it down and cut the little fucker out, wire back together with wire nuts.

I've replaced two crappy fans with really nice units I found in the trash. 100 how-to's on YT.

I do the same thing with fuses. I would send a picture of my little heater but I lost it in a house fire.
