I don't think i have to explain why.

[–] Prinny@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's one of my favorite characters from the disgaea series.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

It's my name. Anonymity is an illusion.

[–] Rahkshi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because I collected lots of bionicles and I thought the rahkshi were cool as hell with awesome powers plus cool staffs as weapons.

The logical conclusion to being a skeptic is being punk.

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

been using this username for about 15 years. i guess i could have tried my preferred version from years before that, i bet it's still available. but anyway, this username is just me at this point.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I wanted to use my IRL given name instead of a nickname, so here I am.

[–] Nikki@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Been using it for years in various places, though mostly while locally testing variables and such. Similar to 'aFile, bFile, cFile'.

[–] ultralight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Have been a part of the lightweight backpacking community for a decade plus now. Have always loved the insane lengths folks go to shave a few ounces, such a funny hobby to me. I also just love the name.

[–] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

who doesn't want to be a spiderman?

[–] RedShadowWizard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Because after 20 years this meme will be unknown to normies

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

dunno, been using it for ~20 years now

[–] bagele@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like bagels.

Loved homestarrunner.com when I was a kid

I am Spliffman1, prototype

[–] asunaspersonalasst@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Kept my Reddit username cause why not

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It is literally my name.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was already using it on reddit, guess I'm just used to it now.

[–] jg1i@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because it doesn't matter what my username is. It's just a unique identifier for my data on Lemmy. I use my password generator to also generate short usernames.

[–] porkins@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like the Star Wars character.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

My dog is a great Pyrenees and I just can't say no.

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

At this point, despite being a bit annoying to explain, it is who I am outside of work. Literally every search results for "pezhore" is me.

[–] visnudeva@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because I identify as the divine.

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And owing to our heritage, I am obligated to revere you as our god. Hail to you!
