Ask Lemmy

Because I like these little guys: Grasshopper Mouse

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.

Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes

My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet

The pinnacle of Australian culture

I mashed the keyboard.

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

It's an auditory pareidolia I often have, everytime someone says "courant d'air" (which is draught in french), I hear my first name.

I like captain Picard.

Mine stands for "Divided by Zer0", based on the programming error "division by zero". Amusingly, people keep assuming it stands for "database zero" or "dragonball zero".

I'm a squirrel.

My username is literal. I'm literally a wood scientist. Or more specifically, I'm a current PhD student in civil engineering and wood science. Identifying Wood by Hoadley was actually a textbook in one of the courses I took.

Take a guess 😅

I got onto Reddit back in the day for the electronic music production subreddits. There was an old Daft Punk interview during the big Ultra Music festival days where they made a joke that all EDM music was made by just one guy, Eric David Morris.

Mine is my password I use for all my accounts. It is very convenient for the frequent times I forget it. I can just come here and there it is.

Observing the internet from my toilet.

Nice try.

"Corno" is just a username I made up in my head since I like how it sounds and I was weirdly craving some cornflakes while signing up. As for my display name, that's...well, my name! 😃

Switch "i" and "u".

I am the shell script version of myself

It's from my favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing.

Beatrice (on the subject of getting married):

Would it not grieve a woman to be overmaster’d with a piece of valiant dust? To make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?

It doesn't make that much sense as a username for me, because the piece of valiant dust would be the husband and I'm a woman. But I thought it sounded nice.

Mine is a cheat code for Castlevania III on NES. Which is, I believe, the name of one of the developers of the game.

I like nicknames that are short and have no real meaning that just kind of sound like they could be a name.

When Counterstrike first came out a quarter century ago one friend had a PC and we would take turns playing it and wanted to compare stats on some 3rd party stat tracking site so we could talk shit on each other. Finding a unique name was a pain, but I got lucky with this one, which is probably based on something Jay from Clerks said.

I've been lucky that it isn't taken when signing up for stuff so I keep using it. A happy little accident.

I used to be just "Cyborg" in IRC, forums and online games back in the late 90's because I found them cool. That was always my online nickname.

But it was already taken on Reddit when I joined so so many years ago. Cyborg is short for Cybernetic Organism. So I just used organism in the name instead. It was unique enough that no one else used it.
