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.

Gorillas mostly leave people alone because they don’t find us the slightest bit threatening.

I love this statement. It sounds entirely true, it's really trivializes the part of humans when they attempt to overcome nature and its bouncers, and it also means I maybe have a chance of not dying if I ever should find myself surrounded by Gorillas and shitless (see if my natural shark repellent works here too) .

Yet we have gorillas in cages. Why? Because we don't fight with our hands, we fight with our brains. We create traps, tools, etc.

If you want to kill a gorilla, use that noggin and outsmart that beast.

OP is preparing in exactly the wrong way.

I would own a gorilla in a spelling bee.
