One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit

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.

[–] Hate@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I hate myself

[–] IndisposedShakerCup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project

[–] nightmareofahorse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I had a bad dream

[–] LaggySnake@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Don't have the best internet and my favorite video game franchise is Metal Gear.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

WoW forums name. (Night Shift represent!)

[–] zowka@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I made a club penguin account when I was younger and this is the username I use ever since.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Because it's a pejorative term for a loud-mouthed know-it-all bloviating idiot and I like to keep myself humble and try not to take myself too seriously.

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The Neve 8028 is an amazing mixing console lmao.

[–] ike@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Take a wild guess

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It’s a thought

I have many thoughts

[–] Dackel@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I just like dogs...

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

Everyone gets excited whenever I board a ship

[–] Default@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly, Halo 3

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

[–] Psyblader@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like Gallade.

Nyan Cat, but different

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

[–] I_dream_of_pancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was hungry

[–] Tempus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It was about time.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[–] Akuma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

[–] HankMardukas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm your best friend.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

TJA – A German reaction to the apocalypse, dawn of the gods, nuclear war, an alien attack or no bread in the house.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It just seemed fitting.
