I love mine. I once said "that's my name" before I even knew the concept of aliases and here I am
I say it sounds pretty good. It wouldn't even be this way if I didn't sign up to this website.
Gives off Flemish vibes, I love it.
I like mine (duh) but also switch it up on different platforms. I'm much more averse to being recognized on the internet now.
I was standing very far back when the gravitas was being handed out :(
Pfff no it's so picky and dry
I dunno, but it sounds nice.
This has been my handle for so long I honestly don't think I'm creative enough to make another one.
No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms
It can be tiring, what with the constant coming and going of souls next door, but it’s worth being the neighbor of the beast.
So I'm visiting a buddy one night. He's at 669 Market Street, let's say. I park a ways off because the roads are skinny.
As I get out I notice a car pull into the drive on the left, up a ways, high side of the road. No big deal, but it's dark mostly and I hear the engine running.
It backs out and, as its front-left wheel bumps over the rough berm, I see the driver door swing open and shut. No one's in the car! It executes a perfect back-left turn to come toward me, in reverse, and just short of me it executes another perfect right-back turn to swing into the driveway on the down side of the road. Just before I'm sure it's going to slam into the back of their car-port at what is now a pretty good rolling speed, it does another capricious turn onto the lawn - still backwards - and hits the house at a basement window at a 45 degree angle and stoves in the wall a bit. And then all hell breaks loose.
See, that place across the street is a known crack house, and the mounties stationed a guy there for a while to watch it. And while the driver is trying to apologize in broken English after running out of there and come to see where his car wandered to, and is trying to get into his car like he can just drive his car outta there, no-harm no-foul, out comes the guy from sleeping on the other side of that wrecked wall, super upset, badge and gun held in front like they do. Commands are barked. Buddy gets bracelets. It's very exciting as I walk past this mess with the car on the lawn where it was peaceful not 30 sec before.
I get to 669 and my friend says "hey, what was the commotion? Did 666 Market have some drama?" Brother, you have no idea.
It was comical that 666 ~Market was a known crackhouse, though.
Made my day. Prime copypasta right here
Sure, it reminds me of a very sarcastic raccoon.
Yes of course, but also like many others I always pick a different name for each platform.
I use a different username on every website and on social media I change it fairly regularly.
Where is satansmaggotycumfart?
I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it's related to the music player and they wouldn't be wrong.
I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.
Yeah.
Not the username I normally use, but I like it
yes
It’s been with me for decades now. I couldn’t think of a different one to save my life.
Don't know if you'll see a lot of "no" replies, because I imagine if you're not happy with your username, you would've already done something by now like a new account.
I chose my username when I was a teenager and just kept with it since. The original meaning was that I'm a nerd, with both good and bad traits. It was also chosen with aspirations of being a YouTuber in mind and having something unique.
That being said, as I've matured I like to think that while I am a computer nerd, there's more to me than that single trait, so it may change in the future.
People that pronounce the 656 in my name: six hundred and fifty six drive me nuts.
Jokes aside I've had this username for around two decades, honestly it just sorta was the only thing that stuck with my 10 year old brain.
Edit: forgot to mention runescape, that's where this started.
What's not to love?
yes, it was my "gamer" name a long time ago, and due to small(ish) size of fediverse, i get it easily, it is either sga, or some combination of sga and 13
Fun fact: user names are instance specific, so someone could grab any of our user names on a different instance. Think of it as having [email protected] and someone grabs [email protected].
/random tidbit
And even if it was gone, display name can be different than username. Making it both more and less anonymous and more and less secure.
...vile conservative cockroaches... Sorry, what was the question?
LOL
No... I had to change it because people kept making the same username joke. This nickname was chosen to remind me that sometimes peace is an option.
I think it embodies my interest.
Yes, it's the title of my all time favourite book. I don't use it anywhere else.
I used to try taking Basculin as much as I could as jt was my first shiny pokemon, but on a lot of occasions the name got slipped from me by Pokemon fans. So I took CaptainBasculin. No complaints so far.
I love my username cause it make me feel soft n chonky
I wish it could be a full rainbow and now just blue.
I would have preferred "ScreamingGrasshopperMouse", but it was too many characters long, so what I have now will have to do.
I made a typo when I signed up lol
I'm not. And I won't be with another either.
I've never seen using the same name everywhere lead to something positive. Negative however, plenty of times.
