I like to smoke dope.

song by a band that fitted with my habit of nuking my PC every couple of weeks, either because I wanted to try a different Linux distro or because I got some kind of Limewire chlamydia

Mine should be obvious.

[–] Wussy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm afraid to say why.

[–] MegaTony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My name is not Tony

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. 😈

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 4 points 1 year ago

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Because it sounds perverse, slummy/moist, and randomly generated in equal measure.

I don't remember my username

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

There was a now deleted YouTube video by OneMinuteGalactica called "Apollo launches his viper funny" where Apollo from the original BSG tries to take off, but the launch tube just goes for miles and miles while the bridge crew and other pilots scramble to figure out what's going on. I thought the reference to it was funny and sounded cool when I was 15ish and it's pretty much stuck

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

iron maiden song, a poker hand, and my name has 2 a's.

[–] webpack@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I originally chose this as my Minecraft nickname, it's the name of a JavaScript library that I used (https://webpack.js.org)

[–] SidonMyHardOn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I just want to have a good time

[–] LoveSausage@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I have a big dick , I swing it for the glourius five year plans.

[–] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

It's my real name.

[–] Ultra980@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have no f***ing idea.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I wanted to add "the magnificent" to the end of it but it didn't fit so

[–] TheEEEdiot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.

Beta as in Beta Pictoris, a cool star.

You don't choose your username. Your username chooses you

A catchphrase of an interestingly math-themed villain in my favorite game, The World Ends With You

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 year ago

I'm a guy who likes MsDOS

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.

[–] taanneth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Because 10 year old me didn't know how to spell in japanese.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I was trying to call someone an idiot, but I only had a calculator on hand. I also didn't consider talking as an option.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I was hoping to be generic. Also, to add to articles and photos on lemmy, I wanted random photos from users. I don't even care what they are. So far I've seen a beautiful landscape.

[–] SendMeBakedBeans@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just think they're neat
