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.

I think everyone missed the actual greentext part and focused instead on the snarky comment, but there are, in fact, multiple cities in the world (including the US) where a significant number of people live on houseboats. Many large cities with a significant amount of waterways offer this option, such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, or Seattle. It’s sadly usually not cheap and comes with a number of drawbacks, but it IS possible and people do live there full-time.
They have dimly lit house boats but that doesn't automatically mean 'exciting' and 'intelligent'.
