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.

Unless you're expecting to communicate with someone with heavy brain damage who cannot retain information for 0.2 seconds, I guess?

I mean, that's not an argument for a better system, though; if you're saying, "Yeah; you won't be able to contextualize this info. yet until the next bit of info. in 0.2 seconds," a person can certainly do that but it's still working-around the inefficiency by retaining the day – which means nothing in any context which requires knowing the month – until you find out which month the day in question is in 0.2 seconds later.
