These creative writing exercises are getting pretty good, despite being transparent.

At least this one has a pretty nice message. If all you read on the internet every day is doom and gloom then a being reminded that finding something to give a shit about can make life good is no bad thing!

You can tell the fake ones because they have no replies. The original writer just posts their story on /b/ or /r9k/ and takes a screenshot for reddit/lemmy/twitter before the thread dies

Wait, greentext are fake???

Most of them are likely yes. At least this is logically sound to be true. Finding meaning in life helps with a lot of things, even if it's just a bunch of shrimps.

I'd report that shit to the police immediately if I ever saw a lie on the internet

Plan B: get a good education and well paid job so you can afford vacations and underwater camera gear so you can take photographs of wild shrimps like this one I took in Croatia (female with eggs, btw):

TL;DR: shrimps are cool!

Fake or not, story feels good. I feel like there are a lot of people in this world that just need to catch a spark for something.

Fake: Anon meets a girl Gae: Anon likely loves male shrimp

Honestly? The only thing I feel after this post is hunger.

Fake and gay, but my mental health did improve dramatically when I started fishkeeping. Cant kill myself, who would feed the corydoras?
