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 the taste buds are in the front of your tongue, not the back of your throat.

I assume you're joking, but for those who got taught that in school but haven't thought about it since, that thing is basically bs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map

I know that part is, but specifically the front of your tongue tasting sweet is the weird tongue map thing that somehow made it into the education system

The back lf your throat doesn't have taste buds tho.
