Ask Lemmy

I got named Bizzle in like 2008 because my real name wasn't cool enough, it just stuck

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes

My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet

I literally have a slur for a diagnosis.

water, metal, pressure and faith.

leaky showers and prayers.

When Counterstrike first came out a quarter century ago one friend had a PC and we would take turns playing it and wanted to compare stats on some 3rd party stat tracking site so we could talk shit on each other. Finding a unique name was a pain, but I got lucky with this one, which is probably based on something Jay from Clerks said.

I've been lucky that it isn't taken when signing up for stuff so I keep using it. A happy little accident.

A fiend told me I'd make a good scooby-doo villain and it wasn't taken by anyone else.

Someone submitted a web form with this name.

I wanted a short username since I'm not usually able to get one and the idea of it being something common and impossible to search was fun.

An ex drinking buddy was drunk and high as F and would butcher the name of several people. I couldn’t let this one die.

It is kind of descriptive...

I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.

The pinnacle of Australian culture

Glitch from the original Pokemon Red/Blue.

i like the swapnote girl so i borrowed her name

I first used this name during the "lulz xD so rAnDum" era, and I like to draw. So, RandomStickman

Means potato / lame

I mashed the keyboard.

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

Clipper Defiance was a Boeing 707 operated by Pan Am. Its main claim to fame was when on February 7th, 1964 it brought The Beatles to America for the first time.

I have my email service generate an alias and I use that as my username. I delete my account every few months and make a new one on a different instance.

I once created a character in a story when I was a child about a Jack Green from the planet Æarth, and named an account on a popular site accordingly as a similarly young person, as I lacked nominative creativity, evidently. People kept getting confused between Æarth and Earth so I just changed it to Earth for future accounts.

I read a fantastic book where there was the count Valmond or something.

Best name ever, never taken on forums and such, always free!

Til I learned it was de Valmont, not Valmond 🙃 but here I am!

Funnily it's usually pre-used om platforms nowadays.

Quote from Fight Club

I can remember the Ace part of AceFuzzLord very well. Comes from me always using Ace whenever a game requires a profile name or a 3 letter initial.

The Fuzz Lord part I don't remember really at all, but I assume the Lord part comes from the fact I think pretty highly of myself despite the fact I'm a nobody.

Oh, and do y'all see AceFuzzLord or do y'all see Dizzy Devil Ducky? I have no idea who sees either. I see Ace and I've had other people see DDD. Either way, DDD comes from the fact that he's my favorite Tiny Toons character.

I‘m doing a 6-2 job in finances on autopilot while mentally at another place to not be drained when I follow my hobbies after work

I misspelt it back in yahoo chat days (yea, that was a while ago) and stuck with it because it is unique enough that no one else would accidentally grab it.

It's norwegian shorthand/slang for "No you" (nei du), in the context of for example "Oh no you don't!". A friend of mine had (for unknown reasons) that as his MSN-status for years before his accidental death, and it kind of stuck in the back of my mind. It popped up when I was registering a lemmy account.

This is my 3rd account:
I forgot the password of neidu. Plus it was on .ml before I learned the implications of .ml so no real loss.
neidu2 was on a good instance. The only downside was that people kept assuming I was dutch. Not too bad, as I've been called worse things, but it is more useful for me to mod from sh.itjust.works instead.

For the record: only the accounts mentioned here are mine. Any other variations that may or may not fit my schema are to be treated as someone else. The ones I interact with regularly know this and have other methods for verifying my identity, so don't bother trying to become a mod through setting up neidu4+.

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

Breakfast the day I made my account

Mine’s a music joke and a reference to a line from the song “Shiny” from Moana.

Though if my great grandfather was a god it was of strawberries which is nice. He’d grow plants and ship them to gardeners all over the east coast
