fart noises

Oh damn it!!

[-] DestroyerOfWorlds@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I knew I should have added "3000" to the end of my lemmy name. DestroyerOfWorlds just sounds so weak now.

What can I say? I like my name so much I went and made it my Lemmy domain and my username.

Too late for that.

[-] Doesnotexist@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I didn't exist before, and I still don't. I have never existed, and I never will.

[-] FuckYouAndFuckThis@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.

[-] roadrussian@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

I like my new user name.

[-] TheSmartDude@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Rate my username.

[-] ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

A wizard does not change his username, he carries it with the same pride or shame that one does of any nickname earned in highschool-college.

My reddit name was based off of a meme from 2009... Funny at the time but boy it certainly showed it's age as time went on.

I was thrilled to find my spirit animal available as a username.

I got my username back! I missed it. Got banned from reddit and used some alt for a while.

I like this username. Keeping it.

I should have thought of that.

Some usernames should stay the same though, right?

waiting for Reddit’s own isis-blowjob-slave to make an appearance

[-] Dalimey@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 years ago

I eagerly await Lemmy's "u/PM_ME_YOUR_BUTTHOLE" phase, if only so we can get it over with and move on.

I actually fixed mine to something I like and less personal. My reddit one always gave me the feeling that I can be identified easily.

Anyone comes up in here with random word + random word + random number, we're going to have a fight.

[-] theonetruedroid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

My first username from over a decade ago was horrible.

Absolutely.

[-] kamehameherp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I was born Kamehameherp, and I will die Kamehameherp.

[-] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

I’d actually argue that it’s easier to get good names simply because each instance can have its own username pool. For instance, my username could also be used on other instances by other people. Me creating this account doesn’t stop someone from creating the same name elsewhere.

Showerthoughts

35238 readers
558 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
