dunno, been using it for ~20 years now

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

I don't think i have to explain why.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

One day I created a reddit account. I used a couple of names but they were all taken. That's when I let fate decide my name. The gods bestowed upon the name StrikingDebate2. This name has been with me for so long why should I leave it? Why should I reject the gods judgement? Of course, you can just call me striker for short.

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

It's one of my favorite characters from the disgaea series.

[–] Rahkshi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Because I collected lots of bionicles and I thought the rahkshi were cool as hell with awesome powers plus cool staffs as weapons.

The logical conclusion to being a skeptic is being punk.

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

been using this username for about 15 years. i guess i could have tried my preferred version from years before that, i bet it's still available. but anyway, this username is just me at this point.

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

its my name, i picked my name, i like my name

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

I wanted to use my IRL given name instead of a nickname, so here I am.

[–] Thepoopsmith1@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Loved homestarrunner.com when I was a kid

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Been using it for years in various places, though mostly while locally testing variables and such. Similar to 'aFile, bFile, cFile'.

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

Have been a part of the lightweight backpacking community for a decade plus now. Have always loved the insane lengths folks go to shave a few ounces, such a funny hobby to me. I also just love the name.

[–] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

who doesn't want to be a spiderman?

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

Because after 20 years this meme will be unknown to normies

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

Because it is my reddit username

[–] Samanthastanky@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hoping Milhouse will bring me a gallon of gummi worms

I like bagels.

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

Kept my Reddit username cause why not

Carbolyzed Marinara sounded too formal.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was already using it on reddit, guess I'm just used to it now.

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

At this point, despite being a bit annoying to explain, it is who I am outside of work. Literally every search results for "pezhore" is me.

[–] jg1i@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because it doesn't matter what my username is. It's just a unique identifier for my data on Lemmy. I use my password generator to also generate short usernames.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Meh, I'm interested in the macabre. And it was the first thing I thought of when that abusive doucher in Texas started whining about ending no fault divorces a few weeks ago.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's the only one I've ever had.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Was the first one that popped into my head when prompted, wasn't taken....
