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.

It’s called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages

TIL that "kalkun" (danish word for turkey, the bird) actually comes from Calcutta, as in the modern day city of Kolkata in India. Wow.
