>When 4chan users post stories, be they autobiographical, obviously fictional or pseudorealistic, convention dictates that the post be made in green text (one of the limited alterations to the basic post format that the website allows).
>Greentext stories come in a variety of forms and tropes vary from board to board. Stories can be long and detailed but are generally presented in a staccato rhythm.
>Most stories tend to be shorter and of the “be me” type, these 2nd person vignettes usually take a relatable everyday event and add comedy by introducing an unexpected and often bizarre twist.
>For example, the spaghetti story is a memetic form of 4chan story in which the main character finds her pockets overflowing with spaghetti in an otherwise banal situation.
