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.

I mean there literally was an annular (moon smaller than sun) eclipse just a few weeks ago going through the US, with plenty of images in media.

The moon’s orbit is slowly drifting away from Earth. It just so happens that we exist at (almost) the perfect point in time for the moon and sun to appear the same size in our sky.

Some people will see this as evidence of an intelligent design.

What if instead, this coincidence was in part responsible for our development as a species?
