Ask Lemmy

lol idk

I'm proudly a queer weirdo:)

It’s funny.

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.

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.

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

My username is a play on a very esoteric old /tv/ meme.

My profile picture is one of my drawings from my worldbuilding project. It's a froglike alien commando.

I do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.

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 use names that may seem creative, but have no real meaning. Just made from spontaneous ideas.

I always have several of them (prepared or in use), because you never know when some ultra crazy mod turns up.

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

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

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

My avatar is a picture of a large ceramic cow in northern Michigan. The cow is named Jillbert.

The name is largely self explanatory.

I’m just a gust in the wind and I made it in paint to be a gust of wind

Dkp for the loot system and I have always liked punk music

My avatar is my orc rogue standing over Orgrimmar at sunset. It was when I first got my Thunderfury, so I wanted a cool picture with the badass sword.

It's a variation on a local folkloric figure, and the image is modified from the album of a poem about the figure by Martin Newell and the Hosepipe Band.

I just think the Grasshopper Mouse is neat

It’s my first initial and last name.

It's the first letter of my real name.

I'm not creative... Its virtual (real life initials)

It's a quote from my favourite videogame, and I'm a visual arts person so it works for that as well. Joining lemmy I knew videogames/ art comms was where I'd be spending most of my time. ... Ironically no pfp. We don't have those on my app.

Bizzle is my legal name

Every time I see your avatar, OP, I think of Audacity 😅

Mine's just... Something I came up with. It came to me in a dream I guess.

My avatar is the GOOD BEE from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Because I'm locked away in my cave, but if you manage to find and befriend me, I am loyal and will slay your opponents.

You guys have avatars? Too much effort...

It was my character name in my first MMO, the English beta for MapleStory back over 20 years ago, and I've been using it ever since. I picked it since it was close to Mithril, from Lord of the Rings.

Portmanteau of "True" and "Escape".

Because online spaces allow us to Truly Escape reality :)

Ever seen castaway? Its pretty good

Not today, FBI.

Occasionally, my socks go missing.

Metastasio was an Italian poet and librettist who lived in the 1700’s. Being someone who creates poetry and music, I wanted a name to reflect that but with a modern flair, so I swapped “meta-“ for “giga-.”

Also, as “metastasis” translates roughly to “changing states,” “gigastasio” can be taken to mean “billions of states,” which is an apt description for how my mind works.

My pic is just some random pic I took. It’s my kid’s shark stuffie. His name is Chocolate Milk.

Penguins are cool. I ride dual sport motorcycles. (And other motorcycles. But definitely those.)

Its from Lethal Weapon 3. The clip will explain better than I can.

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.

There was a post I saw on Reddit that I wanted to respond to, and that meant I needed an account. I just happened to have visited this site right before then, and so the username just naturally popped to mind.

Much later on, I made an avatar to fit it.

Nothing really deep about it.

In terms of avatar, it was in my downloads folder

I'm the real Burger Baron and so are you! It's a local franchise of sorts with a very messy history.

If I have spare time, I sleep.

My name is a reference to the famous British tank gun and anti-tank gun from WW2. Used in tanks and as standalone anti-tank guns. Put in the Sherman tank to create the Sherman Firefly because it packed more of a punch against enemy armour than the American 75mm.
