There was a brief period at an old job where people thought it was hilarious to change their name to other people in slack (or maybe hipchat? whatever we used at the time). Like, change your name to the team lead and be like "I smell like butts." Funny! HILARIOUS.

Until I asked 'What are you going to do when someone messages you instead of the person whose name you took with "I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. You can take off as much time as you need" or something else really private.

"Oh. I didn't think of that."

No shit.

Yes, I am a kill joy.

This is a solid Futurama reference and, frankly, I'm disappointed in Lemmy for not giving it the attention it deserves.

No, you're doing Ra's work. Thank you for your empathy.
