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.

it's one of these: >
What do they imply?
I know that these stories are often accused of being fake, but I guess I don't understand the context of the response. It seems like the responder is saying "go to the doctor regardless of whether you actually have a problem requiring a doctor." Which I guess could be good advice in some circumstances, but ... Maybe I'm just taking things too literally.
Thanks for the answer!
I think it's that people understand that 99% of green text stories are not real, so the reply is just saying yo if this is real, go to a doc.
Maybe I'm wrong tho
The anon got it wrong. These are ">" or "greater than" symbols, not arrows, although they look like arrowheads. They are used to signal a quote, which makes the text green on 4chan or inside a quote block on other platforms. In 4chan culture, the resulting greentext is not a quote, it has a meaning of its own.
The actual implication arrow, used in mathematical logic for statements like "if A, then B" or "A implies B", is "⇒" or "rightwards double arrow" in Unicode. Using ASCII characters, it can be written as "=>".
