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.

So, I have seen people do this, and I gotta ask... what is the plan?
Like you are saving the file, implying that you plan on using it again... why make it so hard to figure out which one it was? Especially in this case, where he has done it to enough files all in the same place that he eventually hit the same combo again.... like, are there hundreds or thousands of randomly named files in that same folder? Why save them if they will be impossible to find again anyway?
My guess is since they are images the thumbnail is more important as an identifier than the name would be.
Then why change it? Most apps give a default name, so you literally just need to click "save" or press "Enter."
