Ask Lemmy

In memory of the Apollo app.

Not so wild as I used to be.

Just made that shit up. I was trying to think of something stupid that wouldn't identify me in any personal way, and this one made me chuckle

I'm a gentleman that enjoys neon lights.

I got it from a random generator after I had to change my Minecraft username when I was a kid. Been using it ever since.

First word that came to mind when I was like 13 followed by an arbitrary number and letter. It just means ball or sphere in German. I took up naming things by simple shapes by then so I guess there must be something I like about it.

Sleeping pills and a misspelled person. It was my pirated minecraft username first.

my name + super withour -er + favourite number

It's like when kids make up a ridiculous nickname for you in grade school, but it sticks and you end up using it on your business cards.

Iain M. Banks' "Culture" series. RIP

Hal from 2001 and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X.

I was tickled pink about this prehistoric fish that went viral a little while back and I thought I would adopt its name.

It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.

My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for "Largest Online Secret Santa".

It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did "save" two babies as a Paramedic.

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

I like making up names and wanted a unique name for myself. So.. I ended up with Thelsim.
I wanted it to be unique, gender neutral, and easily pronounceable.

My favorite cyberpunk book, Neuromancer has a bartender in it named Ratz who serves drinks to the main character in a bar called Chatsubo

Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.

Ninja Scroll

I like Marvin from hhgttg. Also, I have sleep issues.

I appreciate numbers.

I don't remember where my name came from but maybe it's a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

It's just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I've used everywhere since.

Back in the olden days I played Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast at a buddys home. I didn't have a username for online play and I think he had gotten his from a Majoras Mask guide, so I flipped through it and randomly chose Gibdos. It's been my one and only username for over 20 years now.

Abbreviation of my real name yields "NW". I decided to add wind to make it a Hong Kong slang.

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.

Was my reddit username for ten years. When I joined reddit it was through the swimming sub, looking for info on waterproof MP3 players so I could swim laps while listening to AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc etc. I'm a bogan that swim laps pretty much every day.... therefore waterbogan

I like glitchy stuff, and I had friends who added "-ington" to everything for laughs.

Shit!

I got bored of winning all these fuckin accolades for porn.

Then the world started runnin outta french fries and burrito coverins, people starvin and shit.

Enough was enough!

President Camacho 2024!

It's my lizard's name
