Ask Lemmy

i put in all the brainpower i can muster and think for about 2 hours before just choosing a random roman god/dess or something stupid that i think sounds cool or has to do with something i like, because i can't think of anything original. like if i had to make one right now it'd probably be uhhh superfluidhydrabreath

if i were queer enough i'd probably change that to supergenderfluid, but i'm not

games like stellaris are the most challenging to me solely because they require you to make up a lot of names, and i don't wanna use the auto generated names because that's stupid and for cowards. often times i spend more time making up names or designing my characters than i do playing the game the day i start

Something bad had just happened to me

Was called it a lot as a kid, I took it and made it my own. Now it let's me know who to block when someone has literally nothing left to their argument that they have to resort to using my username as an insult.

I had no idea and translated that to Swahili.

It just sort of came to me

For the last while I've been randomising the dictionary of 3 or 4 character words and running down the list until I find something I like the sound of and is available. If it's a well populated username base I might need to drop back to a list of all permutations of a-z in that length and do the same.

Not sure how I picked this one it was the name for a throwaway account I forgot about for like 10 years. Nowadays I like the randomly generated ones that are like random adjective with a random animal noun. Like AngryRaccoon or UglyBear

Just kind of random gibberish

Whatever came to mind first
