Ask Lemmy

A fun conversation about goats milk while on acid and whip its lol

I got it from valarin, an obscure Tolkien language for the Valar. Without the h it means 'the storyteller' I thought the h would help in pronunciation, it usually doesn't.

What are you, a cop?

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

I use a Dvorak keyboard and am not very creative.

Divine inspiration more than 20 years ago.

Uhh. I was inspired by a manager.

I've been using Monster ever since I randomly chose it during a Mario Kart race while on a school trip. There were 8 of us playing Mario Kart DS and I wanted to stand out.

Data structure and algorithm class in college.

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.

Pure Pwnage reference

Pulp fiction.

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

Alliteration, Rhythm, Rhyme, and I like properly made tea.

:,(

I was in a 3 little pigs mood at the time.

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

A cheesy 90s drink, they were fun to see how far you could spit the jelly bits, or just a kinda fun drink I rarely saw as a teen. Nothing great but when you lived in the middle of nowhere it didn't take much in the mid 90s to be entertained as a teen.

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.

I was messing about in a fighter simulator (previous milenium) and the game told me I did an insane move. It sticked, so I called myself TheInsane. In an online game, that nick was already in use, so I got the suggestion to take TheInsane1... nah, there is only 1 answer to everything, so I added that. It stuck since then. I got me the matching domain in '22.

I'm using KoffieNu as well, as it matched my domain koffie.nu (proud owner since '98), mainly on mastodon, git and some dutch lemmy instances.

Who knows?

I just like that short comic/meme of the Muscle Wizard

First word that came to mind when I was like 13 followed by an arbitrary number and letter. It just means ball or sphere in German. I took up naming things by simple shapes by then so I guess there must be something I like about it.

Self explainotry

It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.

Folded space.

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

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

It's like when kids make up a ridiculous nickname for you in grade school, but it sticks and you end up using it on your business cards.

I'm a gentleman that enjoys neon lights.

My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for "Largest Online Secret Santa".

It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did "save" two babies as a Paramedic.

Well it started when I was born and my mom named me Bill…

Hal from 2001 and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X.

In memory of the Apollo app.

my name + super withour -er + favourite number

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
