I was trying to call someone an idiot, but I only had a calculator on hand. I also didn't consider talking as an option.

I'm a guy who likes MsDOS
Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken
You don't choose your username. Your username chooses you
Truer words have never been spoken
I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.
I hate myself

I like to smoke dope.

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.

Gamertag. My new one at that though
My username originally was Emerald_Earth, because I saw the old Lemmy.world logo with the Earth (that had green on it, like am emerald). I switched to Emerald when I realized it was available. Short and sweet.
I like Fallout 2 way too much.
That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.
I've been using some form of this name for 10 years. It's a part of me now.
One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit
Well now you've just set the reddit psud on his own, deep, personal quest of petty revenge.

It's a long convoluted story but when I was a teen (I'm 46 now) I created a series of designs I called "earthbound angel" over the years it morphed to whoisearth.
I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project
