Because this is the account I use for the promotion of my new movie, "Barbie", only in theaters July 21st.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie! Omg. (Sometimes I get mistaken for you.) Is it true that when you were filming The Legend of Tarzan, Alexander Skarsgård’s chest was 98% computer effects?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

Anyways, yes, 98.3% to be exact, and it had to be rendered on the Summit supercomputer in Oak Ridge, but it turned OK I guess.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hear the real 1.7% was his nipples any truth to that

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Plus minus 0.1% for nipple hair.

You are my favorite Lemmy account by far Ms. Robbie

Only for one day? Can a movie become too exclusive..

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Buy more tickets so you can see it again and again then!

[–] SEND_BUTTPLUG_PICS@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Because I'm really hoping this works.

[–] NPC@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm hoping that as well, for you I mean,

Because I’m from the streets. The streets!

[–] NPC@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Question is, are you a man as well though?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] PineapplePartisan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To push back against the anti-pineappites who claim pineapple on pizza is against god’s will. One day they will accept that what goes on between consenting adults and their pizza is none of their business.

I live in Tacoma. I’m a mom. I like tacos, and have Mexican heritage.

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I grew up in the PNW. When I was just learning to read, I'd practice with the exit signs on I5. I pronounced it Taco Ma for years and my folks just let me do it. Still a joke in our family some 40 years later.

[–] MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.fmhy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I think it paints a funny mental picture.

I mean think about it. A big veiny strong Muhammad. With a thick beard, and curly dark chest hair. Balls deep in a white twink Jesus.

I mean it turns me on.

I'm on here because work is slow.

When you really look at it, there are a lot of things to consider when creating a username. Most of the time you want to try and figure out a word or phrase that honors some part of your personality, life's motto or perhaps a time honored tradition. For me I wanted something that encompassed my true life's mission as well as something that reminds me of a genuinely impactful moment in my lifetime and nothing left more of an impact on me than than day back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

[–] PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've seen a few along that kind, but isn't it strange to define yourself (or your account anyway) by something you dislike?

I mean, I don't like Plutonium Acid, per se, but it's also not something I want to declare as the enemy on a daily basis.

Move on?

I was angry at something that day (reddit), and I was also craving maple syrup.

[–] Mealworms@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Mealworms are cool

[–] GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It was the only semi-clever punny nickname I could think of, lol

[–] grandpa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I chose to be Grandpa this time.

[–] Driftking@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

Because I love drifting. It's like my life is tokyo drift and american racer says: "donkey kong?"

[–] NotMichaelCera@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I am not michael cera

[–] xyzinferno@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's a username I've used since a decade ago, probably. I used it typically for gaming, with XYZ being used in arcade style games where you can only input 3 characters, and Inferno being used for anything where I could enter a full name with no regard to uniqueness. Also, inferno is my favorite word in the English lexicon So I just combined the two, and it's never taken on any platform I sign up for

[–] mifan@feddit.dk 6 points 1 year ago

I’m a Monkey Island fan, and this has been my nick everywhere since the end of the 90s.

Bon appetit

[–] Mantis_Toboggan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So I can tell Margot Robbie that I got a wad of 100s.

It could totally not be her, though.

Well, I was fleeing Reddit but I can only run so fast...

[–] starman@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

My username just came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My reddit name. It's basically my public social media identity, completely divorced from my private. Throwaway email, all that fun stuff.

I wanted something fairly distinctive, since I can be a little trolly from time to time, baiting people periodically. People should be able to remember and block me if they don't like me.

[–] sep@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Been using this nick since before the great split of 96. Don't think I want to change anytime soon.
