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 wonder what country this is that has conscription, speaks English and uses meters.
Singapore
It might come as a surprise to you, but quite a lot of people in the world learn English as a second language, and terminally online 4chan anons tend to get quite good at it, so this doesn't narrow it down much.
Yes that's why the drill instructor yells in English too. Come on now friend.
Spongebob gets dubbed in many languages. Makes sense anon would translate it back to English for posting on 4chan.
Hmm, that's a good point.
Alright, which country would you suspect then? Because outside of the US, every other English speaking country uses the metric system (but I'm not sure if any of them still have mandatory conscription).
I think anon just made up a funny story.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time, would it.
Hah, no. I just enjoy finding this sort of mistakes in the stories.
