Well I'm a very confused person, and I'm surprised at the world around me.

I just run pwgen -c 6 -0 and picket one that I liked most.

I did same thing when I was picking my Wifi home network name (Wahthahv)

Remembering multiple names is too hard. I'll just stick with the one mom gave me

I like Moss. I like Bears. There it is!

Old WoW randomly generated name. Stuck with it for years now

Now you have a tasty username worth sharing with friends and family!

I like tea

My initials if my middle name were Keith

You'll never guess where I browse the internet from

My Geometry teacher started calling me this. Still don't know why.

I had a T-shirt with a toaster that had flame decals and just the word toast underneath. People kept asking me what it meant, as if there was a secret meaning to warm bread.

Here's a wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality

TLDR: in our current capitalist and technologically advanced society, we increasingly live in a world where reality and fiction mix, so much so that it's hard to tell what is real or isn't real. They blend into each other. This is hyperreality. Arguably what's real doesn't even matter as much. The 'truth' generated by (social) media is often far more consequential than something as trivial as what actually happened.

For people who like movies, watch Cronenberg's Videodrome or Existenz. That's what 'reality' has become.

I was a big weeb, and my original name was Nekomaru. As I "grew out" of it, I translated the name back into English, and realized I actually liked it better.

Just some random thing that comes on my mind at the time, i guess.

My job involves making donuts.

It's a reference to human cannibalism. I found it interesting that humans taste similar to pork. I'm just weird like that.

I grew up in central Flordia in the 80s and 90s. I loved saltwater fishing. Because of this I started to have lots of interactions with pelicans.

After awhile I became kind of close with them, we somehow seemed to communicate, I would spend hours with them, sometimes I would take out the boat and float around the shallows for these huge schools of pompano that would swim around the deep shipping channel then they would come up in the shallows for a few seconds and hit the bait fish really hard, it made them an easy catch and an unbelievably hard fight on ultralight gear.

I would go alone, sometimes with friends, but the one living being that always showed up was the pelican, and in this particular case it was a fishing spot I found near the Skyway bridge in St. Petersburg.

This is where the pelican became my favorite bird, we had some good times together, one bird in that area though new me and followed me around, never bothering me, never once trying to catch my bait that obviously has a hook in it, it seemed to know what was up, I'll never forget those pelicans and especially my buddy who always loved hanging out and getting fat from my catch.

So I carry the name because I love pelicans and the more people see the name maybe just maybe they might think twice before harming one of these magnificent birds or littering which is heavily contributing to their extinction.

I like pizza, words with four 'z's, and palindromes. So I appended an 'ip' to pizzazz, and here we are!

Childhood nickname.

I like coffee and I like vectors. I made it in high school and thought I'd be one of those names I regret, but even now I still like it.

I tried and it worked.

The cat’s nickname. It’s very floofy.

Because of Russians.

Se got lots of immigrants from Ukraine these two years. One girl started going to our summer camp/all year group (something like Scouts) and started dated my friend. He keeps "dictionary" of mispronounced words.

There is lots of good usernames but "plactagonic relationship" was best at the time (it grew a lot since).

It was my neopets username in like 2004 lol.

I chose my name as a shortened version of the name I generally use on social media platforms. It's just this one is easier to type and since the account didn't exist I took advantage of being able to use the shorthand.

Typo.

Out of habit. It was my reddit username for almost a decade and the first thing that came to mind when I made a lemmy account.

Why I originally chose "justlookingfordragon" on reddit: I was looking for fellow Pokémon X/Y players with dragon-type safaris willing to share their codes, but the simplest usernames like "dragon" and "safari" were already taken, and "Imjustlookingforadragontypesafarikthxbai" didn't fit the character limit. I originally didn't even plan to keep the account, so I didn't care that the username was silly and awkward.

"Wolf Link" was a nickname that came later.

I became that which I feared the most

Cogito ergo sum.

If I don't think, I'm DoesNotExist

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

I like pretty assholes

Food you want to eat but won't risk your life for

it is I

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

To promote razors

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