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.

This is probably not really possible. Was watching something recently about how modern cassette players are super bad compared to the ones from the peak of the technology. Like they're bigger, offer less functionality, and aren't as reliable etc. Because they're not benefitting from economy of scale anymore, the old assembly lines are long gone and creating new ones that can beat the old stuff is crazy hard/expensive. So they just all use the one model available for the actual mechanism and it's trash.
So if someone made a CRT today it probably wouldn't beat the old stuff.
Well, damn, that's sad...
