A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yes! Don't use a password generator to make a username

Exactly. So if you didn't use a password generator to generate your password, it's okay to use your password as your username.

Actually....doing this is great for security and privacy. Especially for more sensitive logins. Use a password manager.

Yea, in all seriousness, I did it for privacy. Also, if I frequently change usernames, it makes sense not to use up desired usernames that others would want

Yea ive been thinking of getting a different account for here as ive used sol87 for years, this is a public area so big tech and others can still scrape our data from here for maintaining their "advertiesing" profiles or whatever else they do with our data.
