lol idk
Username checks out
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.
"What would 'palindrome' look like if it was a palindrome?"
im always hungry
Occasionally, my socks go missing.
Lemmy.zip has/had a mismatch between frontend and backend validation on usernames. When the frontend allows something that the backend rejects, you get some random "InvalidName" pop-up on form submission.
I tried several different variations of my preferred user name, but I couldn't figure out what was violating backend validation, so finally I settled on InvalidName. Which triggered a server error (500 error or timeout or something, I don't recall).
But finally, one glorious moment in time, the lemmy.zip server accepted InvalidName2 without choking, and the rest is history.
I am just a person, you dont need to know anything more about me.
You guys have avatars? Too much effort...
This is me just learning avatars are a thing.
I am not Rick, but I’m also NOT the Krusty Krab
That sounds an awful lot like something Rick would say
What avatars? I can't see them. My user name means what's up dude in my language.
It's my real name, and I don't remember which avatar I have right now but either way it's from a webcomic.
We call someone who can't do anything right, or is “useless”,“un zero a l'esquerra”, a zero to the left (as in the zero in 01, which is the same as 1, making the 0 irrelevant).
I consider myself one such zero to the left, but that's too long, so leftzero. 🤷♂️
Also... lemmy has profile pictures..?
Now THAT is a clever insult.
I only know one guy who is smart enough to understand it tho.
It's kind of the slogan of my state
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.
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'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 actual name, I got it for my birthday.
It's the first letter of my real name.
I had a friend since college whose first name started with a Q, he always went by Q. A couple years ago he started to use a QAnon logo as his avatar. Someone informed him of its meaning and he did a deep dive on it and never came back from it. I ended up blocking him on all social media because he went off the deep end.
Yeah I've had my share of people associating my username with that. Also Star trek, but that ones OK.
Very few people know who/what Chip Chipperson is. I particularly like the young fella and chippys mittens was the name of his pet horse, RIP.
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.

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 just think the Grasshopper Mouse is neat
I read Berserk.
I'm a... doctor lady.
Lemmy let's you have a user avatar? I've never seen one using Voyager.
My username is a Latin phrase meaning (this particular definition is from Wikipedia): In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.
I think rebellion against the US government is required at this point regardless of your political affiliation as our Public Servant's have shown to not care for who they represent, the American people.
Bizzle is my legal name
Fo shizzle my Bizzle
I chose my username when I was still a teenager, originally with the meaning that I'm a nerd, but not like an amazing or extremely smart nerd, nor extremely awkward. Just your average guy with autism and nerdy on particular subjects.
I've mostly kept with it because it's how most of my online friends know me, and I still think it's part of my identity, although I've since developed interests that a stereotypical nerd might not have such as cycling, mountain biking, travelling and hiking.
I wanted something short and unique and this was somewhat pronounceable with a vowel in the middle
I have the user name “aeao” on Xbox. Just 4 letters. One day it’ll be worth millions!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m just a gust in the wind and I made it in paint to be a gust of wind
It’s my first initial and last name.
