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.

People treat "lactose intolerance" as some unusual condition, but the less common condition is "lactase persistence," aka the ability to digest lactose. A large majority of people worldwide lose the ability to digest lactose after childhood. Lactase persistence only evolved in certain populations that depended heavily on livestock over agriculture.

Yes, I became lactose intolerant in my late twenties, and this is a fun fact I like to share to those who are interested.

Do you share by drinking a large glass of milk and spending the rest of the night having boom booms all over the floor?
