I don’t mean my username! Yours!
I guess this is more of a game and maybe not strictly the right place. But, the idea is to make a top level reply with you asking ‘guess’ or saying ‘:)’ or what have you, and everyone else should answer what they think the username means or refers to, without looking any words or concepts up! Off the cuff, what do you think it means when you see this person’s username?
Not sure about the mobile apps, but if you hover over someone’s name in Lemmy it will show their username if they have a display name set. My username is quite boring and straightforward, but I like seeing other people’s weird usernames especially on semi-anon places.
Bonus: What do you visually think when you read it? Even if you misread it as a typo, what did you imagine when you read it & saw their avatar?
Sup?
sup dude
Mine’s insanely on the nose… i’m not very creative.
Creativity is not equally distrubuted in your regime. Does not seem very communist to me.
A common misconception, you might read this short essay to avoid one of the most common strawman.
Thank you! I will readily admit to ignorance. I apologize for the tired stereotyping.
Yeah. I see how the concept of equality gets distorted through the pervasive lens of capitalism, or just the materialistic view of things.
Political equality would necessarily strip away expectations of ability or productivity. Expectations are itself often violations of boundaries, just forced upon people.
Mine is too. I completely understand.
Some may get mine others may think I’m a weirdo.
Do you want a banana?
I can’t remember who is the Annie that is thirsted over the most, but I assume that one’s bossom.

the nerds on here will probably get it quickly ;)
Faulty operating system with an army?
I didn’t get it without reading other comments because my spoken English sucks major donkey balls (or should I say… colonel donkey balls?), but now I got it.
I would be extremely surprised.
a man should clean himself
Kobayashi’s long last brother?
Mine should be rather apparent. I lack creativity.
Gotta have those calcium programms
Codes strictly on TI-84’s
Pretty much lol, I got into programming in high school by writing programs on my TI-84. Needed a username to post some programs I made online and that’s what I’ve gone by online ever since.
Of course, these days I’m a software engineer and mainly do embedded C and desktop C++ as a hobby with my OpenRGB project.
I’m going to pretend you program Calckey to make it interesting

My username means, I am Steve.
there are many other steves but there is only one that is me 💃
I don’t believe you.
Steve is Steve… sounds too convenient to be true.
Right? I’m highly skeptical here as well 🤨
I’m in
you can teleport large quantities of vehicles all together into the enemy base, can make them invisible in an area of effect, have a somewhat fragile personality for a capital ship, and don’t have much attack power
Hm
I picture a frowning tadpole. He’s angry, liker super angry. If he had arms he would cross them.
Hi
One of my professors in college was named kurt vargo. He was in a commercial where he drove the bike across the screen, and in the take that was on the commercial, he drove too far and trashed very very expensive equipment and lighting.
Guess mine?
your name is kylee and you like any of the -onite crystal names, and thus you are kionite
Good luck with that
“Hex” alongside the pic of Doom guy reminds me Hexen, another old style first person shooter. So I guess that you enjoy the genre?
I do enjoy the genre, but the two are unrelated I’m afraid 😅
Mine should be easy enough lol
Spanish usernames unite!
It’s been 18 years since I had spanish class but uhhhh, the cat is white?
Ok, let’s do this. If you can guess where it’s from, you have great taste.
And don’t worry, I don’t actually harvest eyes.
Harvesting eyes of cuthulu from terraira?
Nope, never played Terraria. Here’s a hint: I gotta have more cowbell!
I don’t think I understand the reference, haha.
Alright, I’ll explain it: the ‘I gotta have more cowbell’ comes from a Saturday Night Live skit where the band Blue Öyster Cult are recording the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” which has a cowbell playing after the first guitar chords, and the producer (played by Christopher Walken) keeps saying that he wants more cowbell. Tension rises within the band whether to have more or less cowbell.
I couldn’t find the full skit for some reason, so here’s a video of every instance Christopher Walken mentions cowbell throughout it.
So, to sum it up, this was me trying to hint, in a not too obvious and probably convoluted way, that Harvester of Eyes is a song by Blue Öyster Cult. It sounds kind of anti-climatic now, to be honest.
Nah, that’s a fun way to try and connect the two! I just haven’t watched much SNL, so it’s lost on me.
Me neither, it was just really popular in the early 00s so I ended up knowing about it. But yeah, I wasn’t sure if people would still remember it after all these years.
Jeepers creepers take a look at those peepers.
Nope, never saw the movie :p.
I gave up and looked it up. Thank you for your nickname! (You likely get what I mean, I don’t want to spoil it for the others.)
Uhh…I actually don’t, haha! I’m probably missing something, sorry!
Explaining it further.
As I websearched your nickname, the first mention that popped up was a song, Blue Oyster Cult: Harvester Of Eyes. I didn’t know the band or the song, but fuck, I loved it, I’m a suckeer for 70’s music. So thank you for the indirect suggestion!
Oh, I get it now, haha.
You’re welcome and I’m glad you liked it. Their first 3 albums are great starting points. Out of those, Secret Treaties is probably the most consistent but Tyranny & Mutation goes hard too. Especially Hot Rails to Hell.
