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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

High Hopes is a 1994 song from Pink Floyd. It's usually taken as a username so, I switched to whatever crossed my mind at the moment that sounded similar

Cool hobby from my past ….. plus for whatever reason lemmy didn’t like my generated username and I gave up

My name is the spell that I can cast in real life. Not as good as a real Muscle Wizard's, but it's something

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

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 couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

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

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it was funny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I sometimes say things that may not be 100% correct. I’m only human.

Among us name generator

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used the same moronic username I got from a name generator for 20 years before Reddit was trashed. I took the opportunity to reinvent myself. I'm a techie with a beard....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used to really love William Gibson. It's the name of a fictional musical duo in one of his novels, Idoru.

I am too lazy and boring for a username, so I just use my RL name.
