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 doesn't need to travel over HDMI. That to move signals from one device to another. If the hardware that is outputting the display signal itself wants to insert other data into the signal it's receiving, it can directly. It doesn't need to send it through another cable. It's probably modifying an signal received through HDMI (or other cable), but it doesn't need to send the modified signal again.

I'm just stupid and not thinking.

This sounds like the mental math I did, but I forgot to carry the reality.
