I remember they used to sell Bort name tags at the Universal Studios Kwik e Mart. I regret not buying one.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

We are all out of Bort license plates

"I’m not going to ask you to remember them all. Mostly because I don’t remember them all. Therefore, for ease of both narrative and our collective sanity, I’m going to name only the more important members of the Crow’s Song. The rest, regardless of gender, I’ll call 'Doug.' You’d be surprised how common the name is across worlds. Oh, some spell it 'Dug' or 'Duhg,' but it’s always around. Regardless of local linguistics, parents eventually start naming their kids Doug. I once spent ten years on a planet where the only sapient life was a group of pancakelike beings that expressed themselves through flatulence. And I kid you notβ€”one was named Doug. Though admittedly it had a very distinctive smell attached when the word was 'spoken.''Doug'is the naming equivalent to convergent evolution. And once it arrives, it stays. A linguistic Great Filter; a wakeup call. Once a society reaches peak Doug, it’s time for it to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done."

Frank. No clue why, but at least 60% of the time, it's Frank.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

That seems quite common, to be frank

Nice try, this is how you're going to get us all to confess our most commonly-used passwords.

Because my random word that first came to my mind was exactly that. And I'm not telling you what it is.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

yeah there is no way im telling this clown that I always use bobsmypassword as a password. What does he think we are. Morons.

I have a terrible imagination. If asked to come up with a name, I'll simply flounder and say, "Eh?"

Case in point: my user name which I have used on multiple instances. (I've no idea how I came up with it).

Owen Lincoln Potter. An alias I used in college when I was fucking around like an idiot

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Just came up with a random name and it was Thomas.

In German, it's commonly an old people sounding name (Frederike, Ulrich, Brigitte, Gerhard, etc)
