Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That would have been waaaay funnier if it came from an account named sexybabyboy92

[–] disasterpiece@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

My old Reddit username has my birth year in it. Not as cringy now that I’m older, but when I made my account I was 15 lol. Big time “Summer Reddit” energy

You can screw it up. My display name here, for example, isn't my login name.

Definitely corrected the mistake, I went much dumber this time around.

You can set your own display name, and you can have any username you want if you run your own instance or at least join a small one. Getting that one special username is not that important which is great because it's another feature that keeps egos in check.

Wanted PanGalacticGargleBlaster but apparently that was to long. So now I'm probably named like a gay pornstar. Well, it is what it is

I put a typo in my username when I first signed up on Reddit. I got it right this time! I think...

Too late. I told my wife I wouldn't use it again because it wasn't the greatest, but don-ju-wan-me-baby?
