Well...😏

[–] Lakes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've just liked it for 20 years.

[–] Ace_of_spades@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was in reference to the lead singer of Motorhead.

[–] AceLucario@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I was a dumb kid who liked pokemon and ace attorney (and still does). Switching usernames when your friends know you by it already is hard.

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

I love house and edm. I also do music production.

4 on the floor is a reference to the rhythm pattern mainly used in house and disco. The kick drum hits in 4/4 timing.

Found the 80s idol band Saint Four, it comes from their first single, but without using the whole title.

[–] MarioSpeedWagon@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone thinks mine is from jojo and it’s not.

[–] thedemon44@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was trying to make an accounting on and off for a couple weeks and failing, so I got lazy and used my spam name. I may make a new account with a name I like though.

I don't think i have to explain why.

[–] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

who doesn't want to be a spiderman?

I was drinking a mango flavored seltzer water. Seemed like a nice, peaceful name.

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

It is literally my name.

[–] wanderingmagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've been using it for over a decade

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's the only one I've ever had.

[–] oessessnex@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I randomly generated mine using a Markov model. It's just pronounceable nonsense.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've used this one over 20 years.

[–] DLSchichtl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why wouldn't I? πŸ™ƒ

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

Literally the first username I ever had - back on Teenspot.com in the late 90s.

I doubt there's anyone here from there but the old heads knew it as Teenhub, which always made us feel cool back in like '01.

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

Holy cow. Thats a site i havent seen in years. My go to was Teenchat.com lmao

My dog is a great Pyrenees and I just can't say no.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The original one I had on Reddit for the last two years.

[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean have you played Stellaris?

If not, the Prethoryn Scourge are hands down the most terrifying thing in the game, IMO. They are Galaxy eating hive minds. Stellaris is a real time strategy game made by Paradox Interactive. You create an alien species and pick their traits, ethics, civics, etc. It is mainly centered around role play and it is a blast playing with friends and great material for short stories.

It is also greater for mocking politics, ethics, morals, perspectives, and often referred to as the Xeno hate simulator. The game is different each times, the DLC adds so much, the mods are a greater way to spice it up even more. In the game you face what is called the end game crises. There are 3 standard end game crises, technically more but they don't pan out as end game anhilators, and you have to survive the wiping of the Galaxy. This is where the Prethoryn Scourge am alient hive mind that eats all live to thrive. However, the scourge discover your Galaxy by informing you they are running away from a greater threat.

Prethoryn sounds awesome to me, there aren't too many Stellaris players on Lemmy at the moment at least that I can find community or instance wise. So I am securing the name quickly. Plus I now have the game of world eaters.

[–] lingh0e@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've used this specific nick for 20 something years, it's a variation on my original nick "Lingo". The "h0e" part was from #bluelight, back when bluelight had an IRC server. One random day those of us in the channel dubbed ourselves the chat hoes. Being the l33t kids we were, it quickly became ch4th0e. We started referring to each other by adding "h0e" onto our existing nicks. I became lingh0e.

That was over two decades ago. I was an aggressive asshole when I first started using it. I keep it because I like to remind myself that I'm a better, nicer person now... but that cynical asshole is still a part of me.

Because after 20 years this meme will be unknown to normies

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cause this is my lemmy feed account.

[–] Alkider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It stuck around because I couldn't think of anything better. iirc I misheard a lyric in the pink guy album and i thought it was funny.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Was the first one that popped into my head when prompted, wasn't taken....

Kept my Reddit username cause why not

[–] Npad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's my reddit username. 🀷

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It sums up my humanity well.

[–] porkins@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I like the Star Wars character.
