Ask Lemmy

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes

My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet

I once created a character in a story when I was a child about a Jack Green from the planet Æarth, and named an account on a popular site accordingly as a similarly young person, as I lacked nominative creativity, evidently. People kept getting confused between Æarth and Earth so I just changed it to Earth for future accounts.

i like the swapnote girl so i borrowed her name

Quote from Fight Club

I can remember the Ace part of AceFuzzLord very well. Comes from me always using Ace whenever a game requires a profile name or a 3 letter initial.

The Fuzz Lord part I don't remember really at all, but I assume the Lord part comes from the fact I think pretty highly of myself despite the fact I'm a nobody.

Oh, and do y'all see AceFuzzLord or do y'all see Dizzy Devil Ducky? I have no idea who sees either. I see Ace and I've had other people see DDD. Either way, DDD comes from the fact that he's my favorite Tiny Toons character.

I misspelt it back in yahoo chat days (yea, that was a while ago) and stuck with it because it is unique enough that no one else would accidentally grab it.

It's norwegian shorthand/slang for "No you" (nei du), in the context of for example "Oh no you don't!". A friend of mine had (for unknown reasons) that as his MSN-status for years before his accidental death, and it kind of stuck in the back of my mind. It popped up when I was registering a lemmy account.

This is my 3rd account:
I forgot the password of neidu. Plus it was on .ml before I learned the implications of .ml so no real loss.
neidu2 was on a good instance. The only downside was that people kept assuming I was dutch. Not too bad, as I've been called worse things, but it is more useful for me to mod from sh.itjust.works instead.

For the record: only the accounts mentioned here are mine. Any other variations that may or may not fit my schema are to be treated as someone else. The ones I interact with regularly know this and have other methods for verifying my identity, so don't bother trying to become a mod through setting up neidu4+.

Breakfast the day I made my account

I mashed the keyboard.

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

I‘m doing a 6-2 job in finances on autopilot while mentally at another place to not be drained when I follow my hobbies after work

mine is just my normal name given to me in usual earth custom with my parental units assigning me one and another indicating my placement in a lineage. So boring and typical of the species. I mean our species.

Mine’s a music joke and a reference to a line from the song “Shiny” from Moana.

Though if my great grandfather was a god it was of strawberries which is nice. He’d grow plants and ship them to gardeners all over the east coast

it's better than what I had before

I just wanted something short and reasonably pronounceable, as that's easier to remember.

In the past, I've used a FIPS-181 pronounceable password generator to generate pronounceable usernames that don't collide with existing usernames. But since the Threadiverse is still young, plus each new instance has its own username space, it's practical to have a very short username.

I can be a bit melodramatic and sassy, also like making music and looking good. Long-time fan miku fan too.

I'm a man that likes neon lights.

My username is a reference to the Wug test, specifically this question: "This is a man who knows how to gling. Yesterday he glanged. Tomorrow he will _____."

My irl nickname is Lizard. This is the story:

I was at what was supposed to be FNM, but none of us were feeling Magic that day so we decided to play Secret Hitler, mostly because it was my fiancée's best friend's sister's birthday so she ended up picking the game.

If you haven't played Secret Hitler, at the start of the game you get a little envelope secretly telling you whether you are a Liberal, Fascist, or Hitler. Liberals want to pass liberal policies to win the game, the fascists want to pass fascist policies that give players ability to shoot dissidents and eventually get Hitler to win. The relevant thing is that Hitler and the Fascists are lizards; apparently the Liberals are normal people, but I don't know for sure since I've never played as a liberal.

Just to be clear, it's almost statistically impossible for me to have never played as a liberal. In each game I've played in, there was a total of 3 Fascists (including Hitler) and usually about a dozen Liberals. I should have been a liberal at least once by now, considering I got my nickname 2 years ago.

On this particular night, we played about a half dozen games, in which I was Hitler twice. I kept suprising them by doing well! They all know I am autistic and can't lie to save my own skin, so as the games went on they got progressively more tilted each time I was revealed to be a lizard. I was also getting frustrated because I really do not like lying!

At the start of the last game, I opened my envelope, saw a lizard, and I was just so fucking done. I snapped at the shuffler, "Are you even shuffling these cards?" and threw my envelope at him. He responded "Well, now I need to reshuffle. And for that you shall die!" and started chasing me around with the Nerf gun we had been using to shoot dissidents. Eventually he cornered me with me cowering and covering my face with my hands, and with a shout of "Die, Lizard!" he shot the gun.

I somehow caught the bullet in between my hands with my eyes closed! And that's why my name is Lizard.

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

I am terrible at names

The name i used before was "youtuber", which i "came up with" when creating my youtube account

This is the first name that wasnt already taken in Minecraft so i kept it

Was supposed to be the thing the kid says in the “pork chop sandwiches” Gi Joe spoof, but everyone seems to think it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham

Mine is related to my name but is not my name. I've been using it so long and in so many places that I decided I need a pronunciation and decided on "wudgerie," which is also not my name. Anyone who knows me IRL could figure out who I am without much trouble, and a dedicated investigator could probably dig it up (that's NOT a challenge, BTW 🤣) with a pretty high level of confidence without breaking a sweat, but (1) I allow for that in what I say online, and (2) I kind of like having an online persona that is mostly just the real me with a bit of anonymity. Keeps me grounded and reminds me that all you assholes are real people too (except you, @GiantRobotTittiesTeeHeeHee@definitelynotabot.ai... or you, Georgia Bulldog fans).

Old demo crew I formed with school friends when I was a teenager.

I couldn't think of a better one, and just shortened my full name.

Bernards letter

Wishful thinking

Just an old meme.

I think I picked it when registering with Sharky Forums back in like 2000, it just means a wage labor worker.

Wat Dabney is a minor character in Terry Gilliam's first non-Python movie, Jabberwocky.

The protagonist, Dennis (Michael Palin) goes to the city to make his fortune as a cooper. One of the first people he meets there is a legendary cooper named Wat Dabney ("the inventor of the inverted firkin") who's been reduced to begging because he's not a member of the guild that controls the trade.

I first adopted the name on IMDb, back in the late 90s, but retired it when IMDb shut down their general interest forums, and didn't use it on Reddit. I revived it for Lemmy.
