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

It could totally not be her, though.

It's part of the name for my favourite species of snake, Laticauda colubrina. I just think it's neat!

It's impossible to provide verbally.

[–] deedan06@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Because it is my reddit username

[–] Bearbie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It’s what I wanted my Reddit username to be

[–] SanndyTheManndy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't fix what ain't broken

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you don't know, you're missing out.

I was a kid when all of the big social media websites except TikTok took off so I never got to have it anywhere else. I wanted the sense of pride and accomplishment of being the first person ~~on my instance~~ to get my name as their username.

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use this name everywhere on the Internet.

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same, I like consistency.

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Its my real first name, but directly translated from Norwegian to English.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It feels just right, also I have used it for a long time and I can't be bothered to think up a new one as I need my brain for other things

[–] AncillaryJustice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Favorite sci-fi novel... and I figure I'll make a hundred alt accounts eventually just like elsewhere so chose whatever for my first.

[–] WFH@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ancillary Justice is so good!

[–] sock@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

i like socks

I have a degenerate obsession with Widowmaker.

[–] zpm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Stargate! I just love the idea of the zpm's.

[–] badragonfly7137@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

My kid is into bugs, so we spend a lot of time looking them up. I really like dragonflies. And I added my favorite numbers plus one more because I had to make a new account on a different instance and didn't want it shot down just in case.

"Pocky" is the name of my 19 year old cockatiel. Short for "Apocalypse". I've had him for more than half my life. Love that little guy so much.

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know, I was just reflecting on the fact that I moved to Lemmy because Reddit is imploding, which I moved to because Digg was imploding, and hopefully we can halt the enshitification of these platforms.

[–] just_squanch_it@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, you know just... Keeping it Squanchy.

[–] Seven@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seven is in my English name and sounds cool.

Just following the crowd

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

I spent a decade with one of these things in my hand. It suits me.

[–] pebble3292@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fresh start after 14+ years on Reddit.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[–] LordDumbass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because I want to be the only Lord Dumbass

[–] ezchili@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Back in 2012 i thought it'd be funny to make all my porn accounts the username of "Markus Persson" "notch"'s ex wife on twitter so if one day he stalks her he just ends up finding my schizo shit online

Hi notch

[–] RainyDaze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It was raining and I was hung over

[–] z500@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

It doesn't really mean anything, but I've been using it for 24 years so why not.

[–] LemmyKravitz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because I'm not Lenny.
