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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For the longest time in my life I didn’t realize that a conventional oven is different from a convection oven. Some regular size ovens have a convection mode even though they are also conventional.
I assume that’s why when someone finally came up with a decent word substitute for “convection” – that is air fryer – it sold well.
I've had experience with convection ovens too and they still suck compared to an air fryer. I have no idea if the ovens with an "air fryer" function are any different to convection or if it is just a gimmick though.
A convection Oven means a fan in the oven to move the hot air around.
An Air Fryer typically has a fan that moves a alot of air, and typically in a much smaller space such the super heated air moves quickly all over.
Air Fryer gets way crispier, preheats faster(my old one took 2 minutes), doesn't waste huge amounts of power bill, oh and bonus pounds - it shuts off when timer goes off so I don't have to worry about ADHD brain burning food.
