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.

Almost nothing built today will last as long as the pyramids already have.
Plenty of things build today will last much longer:
Every nuclear waste disposal site (hopefully)
Seed vaults
Nuclear bunkers
Don't forget about every single use plastic packaging out there!
Depends. There are a bunch of Flak towers from WW2 all over Europe that were so massive and structurally sound that it was pretty much impossible to tear them down after the war. The Soviets tried to blow up one in Berlin and it literally just split in two. It was deemed too much work to dismantle it so they just piled rubble on top and turned it into a hill.
There's another larger one in the center of Hamburg and the Brits calculated that the amount of explosives needed to bring it down would level the entire city, so they left it. Another one in Hamburg failed to blow up with 16 tons of explosives. Only the interior walls collapsed and the exterior remained intact. It's still in use today.
I'd wager that these buildings could very well survive thousands of years.
Our rehearsal room is in one of those bunkers. They are sometimes ridiculously complex with all the corridors and rooms, but they are indeed extremely sound.
the fuck are they made of!? Nokia cell phones!?
Lol, for the most part ferroconcrete with steel reinforcements. But the main reason they are so indestructible is just the fact that their walls are between 2 and 4 meters thick. They were designed to shrug off direct hits from 1000kg bombs.
So my snickers bar wrapper won't last 100,000 years?
If anything, it destroys whole ass science labs according to this documentary called Jurassic World.
