im always hungry

Very few people know who/what Chip Chipperson is. I particularly like the young fella and chippys mittens was the name of his pet horse, RIP.

Paul PoOooOooOooooL

I wanted people to regret worrying about who they were reading messages from

A friend in primary school just started giving us weird nicknames and decided to call me the wizard pope (not really but that is the best translation) he even held elections and elected me to the position so I just started using it as my username. The picture is self explanatory though I did have to change it in the spring.

Hollow is a song title by an EDM artist named Dabin and has themes about loneliness, emptiness, and inner turmoil. Also depression makes me feel hollow. V is the first letter of my first name.

Here's the song: https://youtu.be/K-AD0iMs_ak

My username is my first name abbr and my middle initial just backwards. Ben A. It still pretty anonymous if I wanted it the right way around but Aneb is very funny to me tbh. It was very seductive when Staments said it in verse in his voice memo to me a while back. Its also something my grandma does with words so its an homage to her as well. tsuguanimajneb would be too long ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lol idk

Lemmy.zip has/had a mismatch between frontend and backend validation on usernames. When the frontend allows something that the backend rejects, you get some random "InvalidName" pop-up on form submission.

I tried several different variations of my preferred user name, but I couldn't figure out what was violating backend validation, so finally I settled on InvalidName. Which triggered a server error (500 error or timeout or something, I don't recall).

But finally, one glorious moment in time, the lemmy.zip server accepted InvalidName2 without choking, and the rest is history.

Lemmy let's you have a user avatar? I've never seen one using Voyager.

My username is a Latin phrase meaning (this particular definition is from Wikipedia): In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.

I think rebellion against the US government is required at this point regardless of your political affiliation as our Public Servant's have shown to not care for who they represent, the American people.

I'm proudly a queer weirdo:)

I wanted something short and unique and this was somewhat pronounceable with a vowel in the middle

I don't have an avatar because I can't figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.

As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.

I turn things.

I'm a... doctor lady.

It’s funny.

Occasionally, my socks go missing.

We call someone who can't do anything right, or is “useless”,“un zero a l'esquerra”, a zero to the left (as in the zero in 01, which is the same as 1, making the 0 irrelevant).

I consider myself one such zero to the left, but that's too long, so leftzero. 🤷‍♂️

Also... lemmy has profile pictures..?

Picked a random space word and a random object in the room at the time.

My avatar was created by me a long time ago based on the "Astro" part of my username.

I chose my username when I was still a teenager, originally with the meaning that I'm a nerd, but not like an amazing or extremely smart nerd, nor extremely awkward. Just your average guy with autism and nerdy on particular subjects.

I've mostly kept with it because it's how most of my online friends know me, and I still think it's part of my identity, although I've since developed interests that a stereotypical nerd might not have such as cycling, mountain biking, travelling and hiking.

Just being honest and upfront, no reason to question otherwise.

No avatar because I can’t be bothered. I don’t see them on my app anyway. As far as I can tell, nobody has them.

I was watching some movie, and I was like ooh, centipedes would make good farriers; they can use their body along the hoof to draw a stencil by just passing a pencil along all of its feet!

And that was silly so here we are.

You guys have avatars? Too much effort...

"What would 'palindrome' look like if it was a palindrome?"

It's kind of the slogan of my state

Keys on a qwerty keyboard. Just so that it's different here from everywhere else.

The only reason I have a username and not an avatar is because I was forced to pick a username but not an avatar when registering.

I am just a person, you dont need to know anything more about me.

I really liked watching B-grade 90s-00s SciFi movies with my dad when I was a kid. That was the name of one that came out around the time I made a reddit account, I don't know if I ever even watched it, it just sounded like a good username. Reminds me, I should probably make a new lemmy account that's not tied to the same name

I'm autistic, have adhd, am neither right or left handed, and am a sociopath.

I didn't choose the weird life, the weird life chose me, I just accepted it.

World of Warcraft forums night-shift.

I read Berserk.

It’s my actual name, I got it for my birthday.

I had just heard the expression: "It helps the general effort." It was in a Discworld audiobook. It made me think: "Yeah, I could use some help right now." That was still rattling around in my head when I had to come up with a username. I don't remember what I was having trouble with, so I guess that worked out.

It was the first online user name I ever created back in '92. I got it from the Nocturnus album Thresholds. The song was Nocturne in B Minor, which is from Chopin's Nocturne.

My avatar is my cat, Mouse Police wearing a yellow feather boa.

I also use the SHARPS logo as an avatar.

I am not Rick, but I’m also NOT the Krusty Krab

What avatars? I can't see them. My user name means what's up dude in my language.

Took the name I use everywhere online, put an _, and chose the lowest number I could, which I do on basically every platform

It's my real name, and I don't remember which avatar I have right now but either way it's from a webcomic.

I've been using this username since I was like 12. I think I'd just watched Babylon 5 and was trying to come up with a username that took a cheesy cringey self given nickname (Papa) and mixed it with some sci-fi sounding stuff (Babylon) and came up with papalonian.
