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.

Whenever I see this meme, think about Nihilists discussing Nietzsche.
Edit: Also, I'm one of them. I think I read about him for a few years before I said his name out loud in front of someone.
I'd pronounce his name like the Russian word for "no."
However it's pronounced, I hope he helped cure you of your nihilism.
Are you trying to get me to talk about nihilism? My reddit days are gone, lol
Lol no, it's nihilism. There's literally "nihil" to talk about.
I only meant it in the same way that if someone spoke about an author who's famous for writing about how to deal with depression and I replied "i hope that author helped you with your depression."
I'm simply wishing you the best of health.
... is it not "neet-s'chay"?
Nope, it's nee-chuh. I also mispronounced it for years...
Njet-ze komrad
I've never seen Marx and Nietzsche in the same room...
Close, but the second syllable is different. You're correct that its not a silent vowel, it's pronounced exactly like the short version of the article "a", or the first letter of the word "announcement".
Neat sha(mbles)
No.
If only there existed a phonetic alphabet that would make such discussions unambiguous smh
