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.

Uhhh, machine guns? Archimedes theorized a steam cannon, and a lot of other cool totally possible shit that was never built, 2nd century bc or so, though the Romans invaded and the sicilian greek city did not fully implement his ingenius ideas for the defense of the city state, he was teaching in class and a Roman soldier came in he ignored the soldier and kept teaching and the soldier stabbed him in the gut.
They also had greek fire in byzantium, they figured fractional distallation of oil that comes to the surface around the black sea. Flamethrowers from ships, crazy shit for the day. Muslims still wiped the floor with them crusaders helping, and or looting constantsinople on their way through.
Dude, read the article, but I used quotes for just that reason, that being the evidence we have is some evenly-spaced holes in some walls with flechettes lodged in some.
Where you got the idea I was just fellating the old empire from all that is beyond me, but at least I don't have to give a damn which part of "the Ayatolla appreciates your efforts!" offends you exactly in return...
Seriously, versus OOP, I'm here for the
A E S T H E T I C . . .
Can we set the Dick-measuring contests aside for like, a minute?
I did read the article until it discredited itself endorsing Cornelius Sulla, whom is not anything but a piece of fucking shit.
You are here by discredited
Dunno who that is, don't care. Again, there's plenty of other recent articles about it.
I can never discredit myself to the degree you have done yourself, attacking points and stances I never even came close to making or endorsing. Insincere, infantile and facetious from your first reply, and only escalating from there. Bye now.
