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.

How is it possible to struggle with them, pretty much all desktop OSes have built-in support for those and Windows even lets you treat them like folders.

I think it's because Windows treats them like folders. They don't understand why things don't work like normal but windows explorer displays them like normal folders.

They have no concept of what a compressed archive is.

Ah right, that's certainly possible.

But then opening an image inside a zip hasn't ever not for a very long time now.
