Ask Lemmy

Resol = bunch of jumbled letters that are completely meaningless, but can be interpreted as either the first 5 letters of "resolution", or the backwards spelling of "loser"

van = Dutch word meaning "of" or "from"

Lemmy = this is insanely obvious

It's supposed to sound like "pattern" and was meant to evoke that. It's meant to refer to sort of "patterns in life", a sort of interconnectedness that binds us all together and these universal experiences that we all seem to share. Or something like that. There's probably already a word for it, but whatever, it's what I've been using for internet ages now.

My cat’s name is Shadow. I do a lot of techy things, so “EXE” felt like a cool thing to add. “ShadowEXE” doesn’t flow as much as “ShadowCatEXE”. I also have alt names with DLL instead of EXE, but it’s not as cool.

It was my username on my porn account on Reddit. I derived it from my not porn account that I also used for other things and people IRL knew. I ended up using this one way more so kept it when Reddit banned me and I came over here.

I got it from a random generator after I had to change my Minecraft username when I was a kid. Been using it ever since.

Am Gen-x

Am liberal

Easy as.

What are you, a cop?

Jk but for real, how'd you get your username?

I very briefly hosted my own Lemmy instance at endofti.me. The username seemed appropriate there. Just kept it when I moved instances.

Shit!

I got bored of winning all these fuckin accolades for porn.

Then the world started runnin outta french fries and burrito coverins, people starvin and shit.

Enough was enough!

President Camacho 2024!

I have plans to find a better one.

i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.

At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history

I based it of the kid who goes “fahfahfahfah” in the pork chop sandwiches gi joe thing but everyone thinks it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham

Well, the box was staring at me when I created this account.

They were out of Bort usernames.

It's a drink that makes you feel good and I drink a lot of it

It sounded funny. It has nothing to do with Linux, but yet I still run Linux.

kill cry > blacklisted word on whatever I was trying to sign up for originally > jumbling intensifies > kryllic

Mine is inspired by a comic book character I actually got to know through a video game I had tried on my first PC several years ago now.

I thought it'd help to be descriptive.

It's a portmanteau of federation and degenerate. This account was going to be a porn account and I am a degenerate.

Sleeping pills and a misspelled person. It was my pirated minecraft username first.

Who knows?

Not allowed to answer this question

Im a pig with a doctorate, and one has figured it out yet!

For some reason, it wasn't taken. Some people are just lucky, I guess.

My friends' band in high school was called Dances with Bread. I was their biggest fan, so I wanted a username that was bread themed. But I also felt like a username that had a sci-fi feel to it. ToastedPlanet was available on Reddit and it was available on Blåhaj Lemmy. But I managed to mistype it on DeviantArt as ToastePlanet which is embarrassing to say the least.

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

It’s a long story

It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.

I was tickled pink about this prehistoric fish that went viral a little while back and I thought I would adopt its name.

I've always used wildcard since the early 2000s. But nowadays wildcard is often used up already without adding numbers to it. So I combined wildcard and cardology and no I don't know anything about cardology.

I like mechs

Someone else took Karl first
