Wanted something not related to my other usernames and I fucking love gyozas
It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.
childhood memory i guess
Math was my favorite subject in school, and I think that adding the phrase "after dark" to something made it sound cooler. So I combined the two to create my username.
EDIT: my display name (not username) is the exact opposite of the display name I used on aliensite
I actually forgot why
I live on South End and I love sunsets…combined, it makes no fucking sense.
Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.
Very vaguely related related to my old reddit dead name.
Ok, I'll bite. What was your Reddit username based on?
Because Ganondorf should have been a clone of Samus in Smash Bros Melee, not Captain Falcon. At the time, his one appearance (Ocarina of Time) had him using a projectile-focused moveset. This would have inevitably given him morph ball motions (down-B and roll), which would have ultimately been swapped out, but it's a fun thought that it would have been like that during part of development.
My friends name is Nick and was thinking about him when I came up with this name. Also wanted a cool unique name like my brothers came up with for their gamer tags.
A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.
Because it works
Because this was my username on reddit before I deleted my account, and I don't have the creativity to think of something else
I'm trans and I like Sci Fi.
ummm I was you know...
A weird set of events. First I just wanted to sign up on SDF Public access UNIX system but I didn't want to waste my username for testing it out in case I did something wrong. So I went with user224. However a good user named xiled verified that account for me so I stuck with that username.
Later SDF posted on Twitter about running their own Lemmy instance, and since I didn't yet know what Lemmy was, I used the same username. Slowly I made comments and posts locking myself into the stupid "user224" username. And I can't change it.
Name of my favourite novel.
Random word plus random number after it. I decided I needed to be a little more careful with my info.
That actually makes me a little sad. I thought you were a Charlie Chaplin fan.

I asked chatgpt for generated usernames, and this was one that I liked
It's a long convoluted story but when I was a teen (I'm 46 now) I created a series of designs I called "earthbound angel" over the years it morphed to whoisearth.
Did you post those designs anywhere?
Nah they're in a binder somewhere in my house for posterity lol. They were as good as you would expect from a 14 year old in 1991.
I like Doctor Who and it comes from my favourite season with my favourite companion.

Because The Doors is my favorite band.
It's a reference to age of empires 2. My favorite game during my childhood.
Fan of The Arsenal.
I lost my username once and couldn't recover the account
It's the generated handle of my reddit account and I was happy with it because its a good name and it's over here.
I don't really remember, but it's short - 4 letters, 2 syllables and it's a real name. It's not my real name though and yes, people love referring to that n-word when they see my username. I have it for years and I don't regret it.
I thought my name in English meant "John Savior", so I just decided to make my online alias "JohnSavour", but for some reason I elongated it to "JohnSaveourSocks".
(Turns out it actually means John Servant, so "JohnServesYou" would've been more accurate.)
