And did you choose decent one this time or Rimjob_stew one?
I’m half Korean, 6’ 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, “You’re the biggest fucking Korean I’ve ever seen.” So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.
I like frogs.
I also like to change usernames on a semi-regular basis, so it was time for a change, and this is the first time in a really long time that I’ve been able to have a four-letter noun as a username. So I shall celebrate the joy of being simply “frog”.
It’s a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?
I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you are doing well now.
Yes, I am, thanks. I lost him in 2018. He will always be “my one”- but I’m over 50 now, and looking forward to my solo future.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. It’s a wonderful song. One of my favorites from my favorite band.
My favorite Pink Floyd song! And it absolutely did play in my head when I read your user name. Thank you. :-)
It’s a new name for me. I’m Coco, recently.
One time I walking past a bar with some buddies in high school and a very drunk man was kicked out right in front of us. He screams and hollers at the bouncer and throws a big tantrum about it for a bit then out of NOWHERE he pulls out several folded up strips of bacon out of his front pocket, takes a bite and this seems to calm him down.
We’re all flabbergasted by what we’ve just witnessed and we’re all very obviously staring right at him when he notices us. He slurs, “Sorry you had to see that, little dudes” and offers us some of his pocket pork as an apology, which we politely refused. He shrugs and goes on his merry way.
This was right around the time reddit was taking off and I made my account a few days later and it was the first thing that came to mind. Thus, BaconInMyPants was born.

Just another heathen who likes plants and mushrooms tbh.
I had an old internet friend on Tumblr when I was 13-14 or so who had the username “coolpng”. One day they just deleted all of their accounts with no warning, no trace, no nothing – just vanished, so I made the username “cooljpeg” in honor of them and in hopes that maybe they’ll run into my e-presence one day. It’s also just a simple 'n funny username, and I love jpegs so :+D
Zoids toys are cool and I like Futurama.
Having been on the Internet longer than some of you have been alive (damn whippersnappers), it was a result of being tired of choosing usernames. To prevent doxxing, I had been creating new accounts every few years, and this was the last name I made at the Alien site.
Yeah my last username was also little bit doxxing friendly.
So I get this one.
It’s a word I made up in High School (mid 90s) for a D&D character. It’s based on the Latin word for truth - veritas - but with tweaks it sound “cool” and like an actual name. When my family finally got internet, it also became my go-to username/identity for all things digital.
I made the mistake on the r site of naming my account for what I used it for, which was wasting my own time. It was intended to serve as an active reminder that I could be doing better things with my time. I had about 50/50 split If people thought I was a troll or not, though, so I didn’t bring it with me.
I wanted to go with a different but similar theme, and a lot has changed in my life and frankly, I’ve grown rooted and apathetic. The username is a reminder to be better.
This probably won’t be the account I end up using long-term, but it’s a good one for now, as I learn everything.
In the 90s I was Boatman_Charon on IRC. As happens on the internet - folks shortened the far-too-long username to boat. And one of my good buddies typoed it ‘Bota’ once, and from that day forward I was Bota instead of Boat. And being a 20 year old on IRC… I replaced the ‘t’ with a ‘7’.
I don’t know if someone told you before but bota means in some languages shoe.
It helps that I only ever wear boots ;)

I love the stillness of winter. The type during a blizzard where everything “sleeps”.
I had this realization when playing Dragon Age: Inquisition: https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Winter_Stillness

I love winter, I can’t wait for summer to be over. That stillness is what I look forward to each year! And sometimes I like to watch videos like this at night to relax.
