Ask Lemmy

Pulp fiction.

It sounded funny. It has nothing to do with Linux, but yet I still run Linux.

i just wanted to sound like an american mafia wiseguy

Alliteration, Rhythm, Rhyme, and I like properly made tea.

I've been using Monster ever since I randomly chose it during a Mario Kart race while on a school trip. There were 8 of us playing Mario Kart DS and I wanted to stand out.

My cat’s name is Shadow. I do a lot of techy things, so “EXE” felt like a cool thing to add. “ShadowEXE” doesn’t flow as much as “ShadowCatEXE”. I also have alt names with DLL instead of EXE, but it’s not as cool.

A cheesy 90s drink, they were fun to see how far you could spit the jelly bits, or just a kinda fun drink I rarely saw as a teen. Nothing great but when you lived in the middle of nowhere it didn't take much in the mid 90s to be entertained as a teen.

I was in a 3 little pigs mood at the time.

Divine inspiration more than 20 years ago.

I was a teenager and I thought RadX sounded cool (this was a full year before Fallout 1 came out, so I don't think it had any other inspiration). A few years later, I wanted a little continuity, but also something not quite so cringe-worthy. A single "i" fixed it.

my name + super withour -er + favourite number

Folded space.

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

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.

Preteen me was bad at Japanese.

Hal from 2001 and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X.

I asked chatGPT to come up with something that combines forests and debate and then I just started making different variations of that for each of my new accounts and this is the latest version. Hardly any resembalance to the original one.

It was the in-game alias of a very skilled swordsman and skirmisher in the MMORPG called Vindictus. We became good friends and played regularly for several years, conquering the toughest horrors, but one day, he never logged back on. So I started using his username to honor his kindness and prowess with the blade. If you're reading this, just remember that everyone in Lost Paradise [LP] remembers you!

I'm a gentleman that enjoys neon lights.

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.

Well it started when I was born and my mom named me Bill…

In memory of the Apollo app.

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 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.

I based it of the kid who goes “fahfahfahfah” in the pork chop sandwiches gi joe thing but everyone thinks it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham

i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.

At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history

I have plans to find a better one.

I very briefly hosted my own Lemmy instance at endofti.me. The username seemed appropriate there. Just kept it when I moved instances.

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.

Not so wild as I used to be.

:,(

At the time, I was playing a lot of Diablo.

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

Axollo - Moonstruck and replaced the letters.
My earlier name was childhood cringe.
