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'm not sure what shape a hearth is.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 19 points 1 day ago

It's the massive stone slab that lies in front of a fireplace, stops stray sparks for burning holes in your carpet or floorboards and burning the house down.

They're usually half-tonne rectangles of granite. Fair play to the lad for digging one out and carrying it home, it's normally a job for a forklift.

Nonsense. It was an important story, and OOP would have checked for spelling.
