Ask Lemmy

You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.

Just some random thing that comes on my mind at the time, i guess.

I really don't care.

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

I like potatoes.

My favorite song from an artist

Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

Coolest shit I’ve ever pulled off happened on a sick day

A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍

Why not?

I was binge watching the show "Letterkenny" One of their plotlines was about a Ostrich. Allegedly.... Im Australian, No Ostriches, only Emus.

I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.

I stopped taking my daily interval 💊

The Dude abides.

I like noodles

I write an anticapitalist tech blog at theluddite.org

To promote razors

Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.

The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.

That is just who I am

There's a character on Adventure Time named AbracaDaniel and I just switched in my name.

Self descriptive.

Out of habit. It was my reddit username for almost a decade and the first thing that came to mind when I made a lemmy account.

Why I originally chose "justlookingfordragon" on reddit: I was looking for fellow Pokémon X/Y players with dragon-type safaris willing to share their codes, but the simplest usernames like "dragon" and "safari" were already taken, and "Imjustlookingforadragontypesafarikthxbai" didn't fit the character limit. I originally didn't even plan to keep the account, so I didn't care that the username was silly and awkward.

"Wolf Link" was a nickname that came later.

I’m one of Zaphod’s cousins

I lived in Tropical country and iced cool water is the best

Because it's accurate

Star wars

Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. 😈

Because fewer a's were all taken

idk

I'm afraid to say why.

My name is not Tony

I just want to have a good time
