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.

If a professor doesn't know the words deus ex that's sad

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

If someone pronounced it as Day-os-ex I would also need at least a few seconds to get it because I personally use the latin pronunciation.

"D-E-U-S-E-X. Get your minds out of the gutter." - Anon, six months from this post, in the shower

[–] radix@lemm.ee 56 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Anon was clearly not in choir. Any singer would know it's "deh oos", not "day us".

[–] amio@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Still sounds like "day o' sex", but from Northern England or something

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If a British professor doesn't know his basic Latin, that's even was.

Deus Ex Machina is like one of the most commonly known Latin phrases, along with Veiny Viny Vici

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To stay on topic, want to Vici my Veiny Viny?

[–] don@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Do I want to wici your weiny winy?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

It's veni, vidi, vici, not veiny viny vici.

Thanks I'm northern and was confused by what distinction this comment is trying to show

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

it's "deh oos", not "day us".

Daylight come and me wan go home

[–] don@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Come mista Taliban tally me bananas

[–] radix@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I believe it should be "In excelsis deo, but "dominus deus". Something about Latin endings stuck in my mind from those days too.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

You triggered some really awful memories just now. I thought I had them buried, but you just exposed them to light and now I have to deal with them.

[–] nicman24@kbin.social 39 points 10 months ago (1 children)

just say deus ex machina ffs

[–] ProstheticBrain@sh.itjust.works 47 points 10 months ago (2 children)

"Why do you think we're here."

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 10 months ago

Fake: anon is the only one in a programming class that wants to make video games

Gay: me

Deu-Sex: Mycunt divided

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean... there are other worse titles. OP rolled a nat 1.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Could have said "Meet 'N' Fuck Kingdom"

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm just gunna put it out there since I came across it on steam, there is in fact a Hitler based sex game.... Why no idea, did I laugh for like an hour after I found it, yes he's I did.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ah sex with Hitler good game 10/10

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

You should’ve said Deus formerly known as Twitter

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This doesn’t even make sense.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It does if you assume anon doesn't know latin pronunciation.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

(And the rest of the class have no idea about that “old” game)

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In that case it would more likely be “do (or deuce) sex,” but that’s not the vibe.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

They're implied to have pronounced it "DAY-us EX"

[–] reflex@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Laputan Machined himself.
