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.

That being said, pop growth also can't go up forever (while limited to earth). We actually have a ton of livable land left too, cities have learned how to be so super dense that it's eating all the rural area's populations in quickly developing places (It's where all the jobs and opportunities are -cities). Estimates suggest we will top off around 10 billion people
