Obligatory "not today" disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.

At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn't going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.

Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it's never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you're not a nazi.

TL;DR: Didn't know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute

8888?

I wouldn't worry about it. Only those most obsessed with hitler would care or notce. Hell, drinking milk now is white supremacy, and I like having strong bones.

The countries with the highest milk consumption also have the highest levels of osteoporosis. Plus the cows are important.

I wasn’t going to mention this but yes, the evidence is pretty conclusive. There is also evidence that suggests you lose calcium if you drink milk. The entire agenda of milk=calcium was produced by big farm.

You get a lot more wary of that sort of stuff if you are the kind of person who white supremacists like to harass. I think 88 by itself is probably not too suspicious, but if anyone has 1488 you are dealing with a real piece of shit.

Unless you really care about the Netherlands Navy, and the year it was founded. Its just a number bro, and its not even 69.

I literally gave you context but good for you that you don't need to think about these things. Not everyone can feel so safe and comfortable when extremist symbols start to pop up. It is "just a number" and "just a symbol" and "just a joke" until you are surrounded by extremists calling for the heads of those who they hate.

Confirmed: the Netherlands Navy was nazi centuries before nazism.
