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.

I had an elementary school teacher who insisted that gravity came from the earth's rotation, and that if the earth stopped spinning there would be nothing holding us down.

Did your teacher believe in the hollow Earth theory?

She clearly had no idea which way the vectors point on the outside of a spinning sphere

I wonder if she ever played on a roundabout, being spun fast enough that holding on is barely enough
