Moderately irritated by having to explain "it's literally j j j all js like the word all J's but not this part" all the time

With normal letters or forever with the goofy ones? 🤔
Definitely goofy.
They'll have to type out the unicode galaxy on every form.
My kid would genuinely love it, it's right up his alley in terms of humor. My sense of humor is generally quite a bit darker, but I thought of it and it made me chuckle so I used it.
I just asked him what he thought of the username pooptart and he started giggling and went on an ADHD fueled set of concepts that ended with "what if you pooped a car?" But by then my own ADHD was only barely listening.

It's literally "TheSloth", so I think we'll all be OK.
It rings different in German though, since Faultier can also be translated as lazy animal.

I don't have kids, but I imagine they'd be pissed to have to write out such a long name: Jennifer Grasshopper_Mouse? That shit would go aaaaall the way across the page.
Heh

I get lots of compliments on my username. Came up with it in the 90s and I feel like it aged well.
Could go either way: Good sense of humor but it could still be a problem when it comes to being professional.
Imagine getting terrible medical news from a Dr. Fartswithanaccent.
It is the word for little bat in my language, so I'm good.
Well, I'm gonna have to brush up on my Metroid lore.
She would love it
They wonder whether I shagged a devil or one of my ancestors did
Mediocre audio sound quality compared to better codecs out there, but works on almost anything and the patents are expired.
The prophecy will come true and they'll die in the next Great Depression, aka, the "Big Sad", so yes they'll hate me. Or maybe if they like dark humor / are nihilist, they'll quite enjoy the username because at least the death would be a "username checks out" moment.
hopefully they like dead things
Ahhhhhhh, they won't know any difference.
Having the name "to melt" in their native language is not the worst
they're the ones who have killed me.
Up until the end of elementary school- they'll love it! From there on out they'll probably cringe so hard. After watching and enjoying Monty Python as grown-ups I think they'll like it again.
I've used this name in public as a new identity. I think once my kids know i used it as a form of self identity, they'd either partially adopt it or choose their own name as well.
Probably a bit weird, but it could have been much worse
I think they would mainly hate it because it would infringe on their own self-identity. No one I know in real life knows my user name, and no one who knows my user name knows my irl identity. That would be the biggest problem.
Checked with my 15 year old daughter: 98% hate.
If they are at all aware of the world in which we live they would have fallen down the same path anyway.
So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?
I think they could have worse
Eh, it's pretty descriptive of me but I wonder if my kids would be the same. They'll be monotheistic, most likely at least, but yappy/argumentative is not a given. 🤷
Id say you have it backwards. Being argumentative is a genetic trait mostly, although outside influence can override that. While theism isn't genetic in any way, and growing up in a religion is often the catalyst that turns them away.
Hey, maybe they can be both, then. 😅

My username is a variety of my name. So less annoyed than the kids of Ladiesman217.
It's alright, I guess, except that nobody in the family (myself included) like singing.
Meh. It's no biggie.
