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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I like my new user name.

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

I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.

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.

Not embarrassing but I had a pretty unimaginative username and always felt I could have done better. Lemmy gave me a chance to have a kickass username… and I squandered it by feeling too much pressure and writing whatever came to my mind first in the prompt :(

Rate my username.

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

Lol I used a random name generator

I'm happy with my new username.

[–] Widowmaker 7 points 2 years ago

I'm happy you're happy.

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

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 should have thought of that.

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

...is anyone going to tell everyone about display_name?

Some usernames should stay the same though, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

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

My first username from over a decade ago was horrible.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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’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.
