Ask Lemmy

Its the same username I had at the other place that shall not be named, until I got permabanned for reasons still unclear to me.

I originally joined via the swimming sub there, looking for recommendations on waterproof music players to use while swimming so I can listen to AC/DC and Motohead etc while swimming laps. I'm a bogan (Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated) and I swim laps every day. Therefore..... waterbogan

Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

I like boobs.

Agents 0 to 640 were taken.

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

To paraphrase a longer explanation, I’m a Nintendo fan, I like Mario games, I love the Bowser fights. I wanted some alliteration on that and Bashing came to mind. Played with that and ended with BowserBasher

To promote razors

Self descriptive.

I was binge watching the show "Letterkenny" One of their plotlines was about a Ostrich. Allegedly.... Im Australian, No Ostriches, only Emus.

Coolest shit I’ve ever pulled off happened on a sick day

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.

I like noodles

I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.

I stopped taking my daily interval 💊

am sour ._.

I write an anticapitalist tech blog at theluddite.org

That is just who I am

I rather like it.

There's a character on Adventure Time named AbracaDaniel and I just switched in my name.

It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.

The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍

I really don't care.

Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.

Why not?

Because fewer a's were all taken

Two random nouns

My name is not Tony

I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

In order to rise
From its own ashes

Burn.

~Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Because it's accurate

iron maiden song, a poker hand, and my name has 2 a's.

I love dogs

It's the back of my name stuck on the front of my name. Also hope it makes me sound like a knight of the seven kingdoms.

idk

1: Has just three letters. 2: Doesn't really mean anything. 3: I like how it sounds.

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.
