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.

Enby who prefers dogs here. I guess I break things?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m sorry, there’s a greentext on the internet that disagrees with you. You are a cat person now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There’s a difference between a cat person and a catperson. I am definitely the latter.

Enby petplay gang rise up

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

What's going on here is OP is making a lot of baseless generalizations.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Straight man here. I love cats. But I hate litter boxes, and cats fuck shit up.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

its okay. you can come out ;)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Same. Having a dog is too much like having a kid with how much attention they require. A cat even when it's being "demanding" just wants to sit on you. You don't have to take it for walks or go out and play in the yard. I love other people's dogs but I don't have time to have one of my own.

What do bisexuals and asexuals prefer? Both or neither? And bold of you to assume straight women prefer cats. Ik way more straight women who prefer dogs than cats.

Sexuality is “never” here: Cats.

[–] KillingTimeItself 2 points 10 months ago

my head canon is that it's whichever one shows up at some random non descript point in your life.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Fucking being only a dog or cat person. I love most animals. The only issues are whether or not I can give them what they need.

The amount of people buying birds and neglecting them is depressing. Same for dogs, but less so.

Lesbians go either way here ironically

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The stereotype (that I'm aware of) is that lesbians love dogs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah you have dog lesbians (me) and cat lesbians (my wife if she wasn’t allergic). Mind you cats love me too, and I love them back. But yeah both groups exist as internal stereotypes.

Honest (and depressing) answer: dogs are larger and more expensive, so anyone who isn't living on dual-income will prefer a cat. Being a woman is expensive, transitioning is expensive, being a guy who "just needs a bed and 4 walls" is cheaper, so dogs are back on the table.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What do women need that's so much more expensive than what men need?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Look up "pink tax" and "gender pay gap".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tampons and whatever the latest trendy things are?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea how many tampons a woman needs in a month, but a pack of 32 is €5 so that can't be a big expense

And whatever the latest trend is, is not something necessary so you can't blame it on that either

Families and children prefer dogs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The correct answer is lizard. No musk, no fur, no allergens. Just needs an appropriate vivarium and a light bulb. If you design it right, you only need to spot clean once a week for what the woodlice don't take care of. Feed him once or twice a week, you can leave him alone for literal days at a time. Costs less than £20 a month in food and electricity. Landlords love them, no chance of the tank bursting and water going everywhere. Literally safer than a fish.

Best pet for the modern poor and disenfranchised citizen

i'm pretty sure that amazing robotic pets are right around the corner, but i've always assumed that they would be doggy style. this post made me realize that in fact they should be alpaca.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

You can definitely get some amazing doggy style robots that'll pet you now days. What were we talking about again?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

If the Internet is any indication they will be long furbys.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

We're through the looking glass here people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dogs are children who require constant attention.
Cats are adults who just want to crash on your couch.

Dogs need more maintenance and care. Men are just naturally more caring.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dogs tolerate a lot. Cats set clear boundries. Men just naturally don't care about other people's boundries. /s
