It’s called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages

TIL that "kalkun" (danish word for turkey, the bird) actually comes from Calcutta, as in the modern day city of Kolkata in India. Wow.

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.
