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.

I have seen multiple "zoomers" struggle with zip files. Probably because they dont know those from their smartphones.

How is it possible to struggle with them, pretty much all desktop OSes have built-in support for those and Windows even lets you treat them like folders.

I think it's because Windows treats them like folders. They don't understand why things don't work like normal but windows explorer displays them like normal folders.

They have no concept of what a compressed archive is.

I've seen plenty of 11 year olds struggling with closing their pants.
