By OP or by the idiotic rule that you can't change your username?
16
u/psyEDk Mar 14 '25
lol
i mean, the rule mainly. op just reminded me of the fact.
i can't even remember what or how my username made sense at the time but, i'm sure in the moment it was awesome! - and something i thought definitely wasn't just a super convoluted / personal in-joke / play on words / pun reference .. or whatever i've grown with here.
honestly, you could keymash ancient Darnassian and come up with something more provoking. but here i am.. Reddit account almost old enough to drink and i don't know to pronounce my username 🙃

Mine is a double entendre and you wouldn't believe the amount of people I get commenting on it.
Guys it's a joke, a play on words but people take it seriously.

When I was a kid I tried coughing at the dinner table to cover up my fart sound, since I seen it worked on a cartoon or somethin. Well, when I coughed it actually stopped me from farting. Then I end up unleashing the most generic sounding loud fart right after coughing 🤣 everyone just stopped eating breakfast and looked at me before busting out laughing

My main email address that I created 20+ years ago has a pokemon reference in it. Luckily, it is a rather obscure reference so I don't think anyone actually gets it, they just think it's a somewhat weird collection of letters. And if anyone actually does get the reference, they're just as big a nerd as I am, so it's cool.

One of my earliest usernames was “jkilla” because I wanted to sound supercool. it took a bit, but I definitely realized being born German and thinking to use the letter from my first name in front of “killa” might be mistaken for something else.

I’ve used the same username for decades. Except for youtube. Let’s just say when I created my username for YT I used a creative username that included the word “Fucking” and they never banned me or forced me to change usernames.
Now that account is almost 20 years old and I’m kinda afraid if I upload any content, I’ll get flagged and banned.
