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.

Chat, am I cooked?

[–] Get_Off_My_WLAN@fedia.io 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's fine until the audience starts talking back.

chat is this real?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 hours ago

I tried streaming for the first time over the weekend. Damn is it hard to keep talking for multiple hours straight. Especially when there's zero messages in the chat. Streamers make it look normal but damn is it not

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

"Normal"? Probably.

Good? Probably not.

I don't think it's that bad if you're trying to solve a problem. Still, I would whisper rather than say it out loud.

same but for everything in my life.

i know, that sounds schizo as fuck, my dear chat members.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 17 points 3 hours ago

I live alone, I too talk to the imaginary camera to keep sane. At least I think it keeps me sane.

Thanks for the bits, bananaman66764.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I would love for someone to listen to me talk

If it helps you focus, it's just another form of rubber ducking

[–] Seeders@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I used to do this as a kid constantly before streaming ever existed.

Taking a piss outside? Literally competing for the longest piss distance tournament and taking the gold.

[–] ignoble_stigmas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

Are you still winning?

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

At that point just hit record and decide later if you want to post some parts of it.

Wil help build confidence to start streaming.

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 20 points 5 hours ago

It's probably fairly normal now, lots of people think about being a streamer.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have thought about showing off my gigantic single player creative mode Minecraft map through a live stream for years, I spent most of my free time over a decade of manually just building huge, huge structures.

And pretending to show it off to a live stream, talking about it and explaining it makes it easier to remember what/why/how I built stuff...

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Anon wants to livestream

You want to livestream

You should both livestream

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think they'd make a cute couple

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Which could make for a more lucrative live stream if they're into that..

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Twitch doesn't allow porn.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 24 minutes ago

Two platforms, double the monetisation of the things you enjoy until every single bit of your life has been consumed by capitalism.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Give it a few more years

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Other places do, though.

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Your body adapted after realizing it was a total waste of energy?

A less cynacle (however you spell that) theory might be it's useful for language learning/practicing.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 5 hours ago

I think that's just thinking out loud or talk to yourself. It's another story if OOP overreact on every turn though.

Anon should just do a stream and do their best and hope one of the popular streamers/youtubers pity them and give them a donation and a shoutout to a massive audience.

Pity views better than no views.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Maybe not normal, but as long as you know that the audience isn't there, it's a harmless kind of weird 🤷

So go for it, fake gay guy!
