I had a T-shirt with a toaster that had flame decals and just the word toast underneath. People kept asking me what it meant, as if there was a secret meaning to warm bread.

I like coffee and I like vectors. I made it in high school and thought I'd be one of those names I regret, but even now I still like it.
I still haven't grown the fuck up
When I joined up, there was much discussion about bots, so I reckoned that I should set the record straight.
Remembering multiple names is too hard. I'll just stick with the one mom gave me
Typo.
Self descriptive.
Just some random thing that comes on my mind at the time, i guess.
Cogito ergo sum.
If I don't think, I'm DoesNotExist
I rather like it.
Here's a wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality
TLDR: in our current capitalist and technologically advanced society, we increasingly live in a world where reality and fiction mix, so much so that it's hard to tell what is real or isn't real. They blend into each other. This is hyperreality. Arguably what's real doesn't even matter as much. The 'truth' generated by (social) media is often far more consequential than something as trivial as what actually happened.
For people who like movies, watch Cronenberg's Videodrome or Existenz. That's what 'reality' has become.
That is just who I am
It was my neopets username in like 2004 lol.
I like noodles
I like pizza, words with four 'z's, and palindromes. So I appended an 'ip' to pizzazz, and here we are!
Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.
My job involves making donuts.
I came here to Hoot and Hollar dag nammit I’m Yosemite Sam!
But sometimes I do fancy myself a yammerin’

I was a big weeb, and my original name was Nekomaru. As I "grew out" of it, I translated the name back into English, and realized I actually liked it better.
it is I
Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.
I was binge watching the show "Letterkenny" One of their plotlines was about a Ostrich. Allegedly.... Im Australian, No Ostriches, only Emus.
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
Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.
1: Has just three letters. 2: Doesn't really mean anything. 3: I like how it sounds.
Out of habit. It was my reddit username for almost a decade and the first thing that came to mind when I made a lemmy account.
Why I originally chose "justlookingfordragon" on reddit: I was looking for fellow Pokémon X/Y players with dragon-type safaris willing to share their codes, but the simplest usernames like "dragon" and "safari" were already taken, and "Imjustlookingforadragontypesafarikthxbai" didn't fit the character limit. I originally didn't even plan to keep the account, so I didn't care that the username was silly and awkward.
"Wolf Link" was a nickname that came later.
Mine was easy
I became that which I feared the most
I like popcorn.
