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.

Reaction time != time to strike in this situation. The snake would first have to assess the situation - say you picked it up so the head points away, it would either have to launch it's upper body up vertically to strike (probably not that easy/fast) or turn around to be able to strike the kid.
Let's settle on "far-fetched". As for the "gay" part, I assume we're all in agreement. Let's move on to the next shitpost, shall we?
The guy touched a snake that wasn't his own. Can't get much gayer than that.
No one could be gayer than someone named the "snake charmer"
Herpetologist checking in. The snake doesn't assess shit. Animals use instincts first before anything else. Deer hears a noise, it bolts, then it assess.
Same with snakes. They feel vibrations, catch any glimpse of anything, get touched, they strike. Snakes are stupid. Snakes are also stupid fast. That boi would have been bit.
Thank you, that makes sense!
