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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because you have to learn to use a sling and if you're not good you're much more likely to blow yourself up.

You could probably come up with a more idiot friendly version though some kind of fabric sock where you just launch the whole thing

What if we made a tube to launch the grande, and powered it by a small amount of propellant?

That's why you practice with rocks. Like what slings originally did.

So which existing training should we cut to make time for sling practice?

Do we really need them to be able to read?
