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.

The amount of people in the comments who don't immediately know this is because our faces are slightly asymmetrical and we're used to seeing them in the mirror is concerning.

Other people get the same effect when they see your face mirrored.

so ... you could just "flip" photos and make them look good? Why didn't phone makers recognize this and build this into their apps?? I think you just revolutionized the mobile phone industry.

They only look good to the person taking a photo. Anyone else thinks you look weird due to that effect.
