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

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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 became that which I feared the most

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

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.

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

That is just who I am

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

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

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

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

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

BillyWitchDoctor.com work mostly with chicken.

[–] MelancholikhPatata@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

song by a band that fitted with my habit of nuking my PC every couple of weeks, either because I wanted to try a different Linux distro or because I got some kind of Limewire chlamydia

[–] trash@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Because it's accurate

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.
