Ask Lemmy

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

Wishful thinking

I'm a huge fan of Bathory, so I just combined Quorthon with his previous stage name, Ace.

I love the phrase “your average Joe”, but it doesn’t translate very well, or I couldn’t think of a translation quickly enough (English isn’t my first language), so when I was talking with my friends one day, I translated it as “your average mortal”, and I liked it

Its a me, mario

CB radio user names are called handles. One of my nicknames is The Vandal. I think Subterranean Homesick Blues is one of Dylan's best. Violà.

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.

I read it in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books

I couldn't think of a name but I wanted an account. Every time I tried to think of something, I hit a mental block. "I don't want to"

Do I really need to spell it out?

My page name, ShinigamiOokamiRyuu, is an amalgamation of different anime characters from anime whose characters I have cosplayed as.

My nickname (the thing that says "Call me Lenny/Leni") is based on one of my nickname preferences. I have quite a few, my birth name being Valentina, which allows for a lot of nicknames (including Leni, which is one of the shorthands for Valentina, though Tina is the most popular) that get changed around depending on who I communicate with.

It's related to my first name. But some letters removed and others rearranged.

I love frogs and was hungry when I made my account.

Less common anglicisation of Samyaza, first amongst the nephilim; a group of Angels that fell by marrying human women and teaching them knowledge.

Yes I am clearly a bit pretentious.

What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Bernards letter

I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.

Kona + Loki + accidentally changing an O to an A = Kolanaki

And then it turns out, it's also the name of a place in Greece.

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

I mashed the keyboard.

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

The pinnacle of Australian culture

Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.

"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

Because I like these little guys: Grasshopper Mouse

Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.

Hank likes hominy.

Surname plus 3 random numbers

Display Name is because the Earth part of a Universe Simulator program run on a windows 11 machine and the Earth.exe process crashed, which is why we have assassination attempts, felon president, CEO getting shot, random coup attempt in South Korea. The Simulation program just spews random plotlines without the Earth.exe process to fine-tune it. Its basically telling AI to draw human hands, it keeps making no sense.
