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.

Right now, I have an infection that I'm toughing out without antibiotics. It's going away. I tanked a cat playing rough, my palms under some angles can downright stop a scratch. I drank 5 shots of rakija. I have been burned, stabbed, electrocuted, what more do you want?!?

The cat in the hat does not hold back

To be more specific, I pushed a nail into a socket as a kid, and a few other instances I got electrocuted. I got stabbed with a pencil right through the mole on my back by my sister, I set a box on fire at work, and put it out with my hand.

I ran into this metal pipe that serves as a shutter, I don't know what it's called, and the impact bent the pipe. I walked it off and continued working.

To be able to tank venoms like the mongoose or the honey badger. To be able to rarely get sick such as sharks or bats. Thick keratin skin or shells, such as the pangolin or armadillo. Being able to survive great falls, such as most small mammals and insects. Being able to regrow limbs such as some reptiles.

I'm not saying that humans are weak and fragile like glass. We can tank a lot of stuff. Most animals can tank a lot more.

Our big evolution trait is massive brain, adapting to our environment, and language. Aside from our nutty long distance stamina, and being able to throw, our bodies are NOT what makes us 'superior'.
