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 don't know how people mess around on the dark web. I used Tor to bounce around onion sites back in ~2011 and learned my lesson. I haven't been back on since. Eff that. First of all, way too slow and finding sites is a pain. But even when I did find sites, it was too dangerous and creepy. I rather not even know what's on there. I can get obsessed with how shitty humanity is.

Unfortunately, it's currently the most reliable way to get LSD and MDMA..... :'(

Never though I would miss my shady AF dealer from the '90s and '00s

Seeing the extremely affordable insulin for sale on a dark web marketplace was my biggest takeaway from my quick poking around. That on its own should be incredibly damning

So long as you're tech-savvy it's not hard at all to make a safe, secure purchase (or so I've heard).

Apparently the German cyber police have replaced enough peers to now be able to identify clients

Ehhhh, mental outlaw made a video on just that topic a few hours ago.

TLDW: people didn't update packages for illegal tings, glowys rolled up.

Yup. My takeaway from that video is:

  1. Don't do illegal stuff
  2. If you do illegal stuff, don't get chatty about it

The more packets they have to work with, the more likely they can track you down.

So if you're going to buy illegal stuff, make sure the website is as simple as possible (so less packets flying around for things like images) and keep the transaction short.

So ... don't deliver to Germany?
