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.

The subway station in the Matrix 3.

The ultimate liminal space that only exists to represent a place that is transitted through, yet is also infinite in space and time if you do not essentially possess the key to actually leave.

I guess arguably, any repeated timeloop type of movie essentially turns most of the world into a defacto liminal space.

But yeah, most literally, a liminal space is a space designed to be moved through, not inhabited.

A doorway or hallway vs a room.

A waiting room at a doctor's office, a queue at an airport.

A highway, bridge, or train tracks, vs wherever they are leading you to.
