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

My favorite song from an artist

[–] ahornsirup@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.

[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's a character on Adventure Time named AbracaDaniel and I just switched in my name.

You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

Self descriptive.

[–] BowserBasher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

To paraphrase a longer explanation, I’m a Nintendo fan, I like Mario games, I love the Bowser fights. I wanted some alliteration on that and Bashing came to mind. Played with that and ended with BowserBasher

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.

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.

The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.
