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 appreciate the feature but despise broadcast radio. It's definitely silly to have people carry around a gizmo for two-way audio communication, on a surprising variety of wireless frequencies and protocols, and tell them to carry a separate gizmo for a century-old music streaming service that's in every single modern car.

The century old music streaming service is so fast you can literally set your watch to it. While the same stream digitally has a thirty second delay 🥲

Don't mentionthe century-old and universal parts, especially with "service" added. DO NOT give them any ideas.

My current Motorola still has one.

We don't even have FM here anymore. They'd need to implement DAB+ for my region

Seriously? That's horrible!
