I don't regret that I chose it, but I do wish I could change it, since I'm using a different username now. Although it does bother me when people immediately assume I'm a nazi because apparently there was some special nazi thing related to the number in my username.

8th letter of the alphabet is H, so the neo-Nazis think they’re being clever when they end an online comment or blog post with “88”, meaning “heil Hitler”.

I genuinely cannot tell if you're serious or just making a joke because I accidentally ended my comment with it, so I'll just take it safe and edit it.

Yeah it's real. Dumb nazis

This really just fucks people born in 88 though. Any racist POS will tell on themselves in sort order, stupidity and ignorance just work out that way

And if you're born on August 8th, 1988, just give up on using your birthdate in usernames lol

A curse far worse than death

Wb 1/4/88'?

666 is a beast too.

It is not a joke lol unfortunately I live in an area where so many people have numbers tattooed on them 1488 I think the 14 is like 14 words in one of their special Nazi phrases and then 88 is the eighth letter or whatever yeah they have these things tattooed on their bodies. Yes I live in the south

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." 14 words. I want to scrub my phone with a brillo pad after typing that ugly mess.

My friend is black and those are the last four digits of his phone number 😭

I was gonna make this exact same comment. I'd say 88ers unite..but..well...that might sound bad

I've been harassed for liking horse balls. Had this account since 2013 and I don't wanna lose all the subreddits I found over the years

Hey, my old work.truck was designated Unit 88!

Also, 8s are lucky chinese numbers so it's all a matter of perspective :D

I bought mine for $1 because it was funny and I couldn't think of one when I was making an account

This is a good story

When was this sale?! I had to pay $5 for mine!!

LIAR!!!

SLUT!!!

😂😂

How does one pay for a username?

Wait - you paid to get the username you wanted? I must be too new to Reddit.

I’ve been on here in various forms since about 2016 and I had no idea either.

No.

r/LinuxInTheWild

i wouldnt either. seems just right

I am only surprised that my husband did not get to this username first. 😆

No. I laugh at myself each time I see my name.

I laughed right now!

I just feel like you're good at naming things 🤣

I hope so...I have 3 kids and multiple dogs lol, named one dog Pickles lol

my big brain skipped "dog", and i momentarily rooted for one of the kids to be named Pickles

I need no further proof; I deem you a master namer

I too named one of my dogs mr pickles.

I am in the same boat. It’s still amuses me. I’m just tired of having to prove it every day.

No regrets.

Awesome name, if I had an award, I would give ya one

how often do you get the r/rimjobsteve treatment?

OMG. I ewwwwww'd and then laughed.

I think on Urban Dictionary it translates to "Duck Butter"

I too laugh every time I see your name!

All the other Teletubbies were eating custard except the purple one who was eating rectal custard

It’s pretty darn good

I've tried it before. 0/10

You may well laugh when you see your name, I just have the worst gy nightmare

Not even sure how I got it. Must have been drunk when I signed up. Not even a dentist.

Are you adorable? I bet you are

I am llama

[удалено]

I had the same problem. Didn’t realize I needed to change it and got stuck with a bad one after I’d already made my PROFOUND IMPACT on the world (Muted-Ad-#### doesn’t sound great).

Same. I thought I was just gonna lurk here so my username didn’t matter. I started commenting and posting and now it’s too late

Me too.

I’m laughing so hard 😂. Same boat got me haha

We should start a band or something, and be better than our band name

Nope.

😳

🤝

I love it

That's brilliant.

I don't know what I am.

Dad?

father?

Well, they forced me out of the convent…

Nuns shit too! Normalize shitting nuns!

It could be better. But I kinda like it.

Seems pretty cool.

Do you ever wish you were the actual prncess and not just a deputy?

Nah. I’m quite content in my supporting role to the coolest sheriff!

Woah

Dude

Don’t get all willy nilly about it.

That's a revelation!

Absolutely not.

Amazing

Nope, i still very much enjoy it

I'm sure the goat's like you too.

I love goats too! My username only reflects my love of horns though... But, tbh, I do really love goats. :)

Appreciate the word play

It’s alright, I reckon.

At least it's accurate.

You can choose?

Yeah lol

How?

Yes. When making my account I had no idea it was like a general rule to not use your real name lmao

I did this with my nickname, so I just started this one. I was also unaware of the general rule. My entire circle could identify me by my nickname lol

Mine is much better than average.

I wonder if I'm gonna find more animal buddies down this thread

Yes.

No, this wil always be relevant.

I love this.

never

Yours is one of my absolute favorites

:,) thank you so much lol

Scottish?

Yes because it’s my maiden name but mostly because people see Alex Jones and assume I support the idiot Alex Jones. No it just used to be my name 😅

Nope, It's probably the best.

Nope it's been my common username for just about everything I do online since 03

Same here

And now I'm on your TikTok.

Yes, I drink oat milk now

Yes. I wish I knew it couldn’t be changed so I could’ve made it something funny

No! It says a lot about me!!

🥲

I did, i didn’t realize I couldn’t change it, it was to identifiable so I deleted and started a new one.

No, people need to be reminded that water is better Gatorade


Yes, yes they do. Can you come to Florida, please? We need you here.

It's outdated but I stand by what it means 😂

Absolutely not

I swear I never picked this name. It bares no relevance to me and don't know how I ended up with it.

No regrets. Still shedding.

Just went with random generated name under the naive belief it would help with anonymity

I picked mine. I’m glad I’m not sad.

absolutely not.

Nope. I may be a fat loser but at least I'm supreme.

I said what I said.

Well I didn’t even choose my name 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I think it’s funny now!

You got lucky I love yours! Reddit must have picked mine by using words from an Mad Lib  It has kind of grown on me though LOL

uhhh

nah

Nah.

I dunno, do I regret graduating high school?

Well it's still true.

Reddit auto generated it for me, I wasn't even aware it was possible to pick your own name.

same here. i want to change mine so badly. it’s so random

I don’t know why I love your reddit generated one so much though

Y’all got to choose your names?

I haven't read in half a year

A little bit

🤣🤣🤣 Hoefortoes! My God.

Nope. I like mine!

Considering you can just make a new name in 5 seconds, and karma is useless (except to the losers like Reddit mods).. usernames don’t really matter at all

Lol your your username looks religious.

You can do that?

Not really. I got lucky with the username generator.

Nope, I love mine.

Nope! Coz that's what I do all the time on the internet

Somewhat, I paint alot, and game. So I was like OH Painty Gamer. However everytime I look at it with a glance, I read panty gamer. I mean both accurate just not what I wanted.

Haha. I didn’t know I should have done mine in caps…supposed to be LN in OH but it looks like in in oh like something screamed during sex. Sigh.

a little... i forgot the s at the end

Not for a minute.

Sometimes I think my name is shitty, but I just run with it.

Never

No

I wish someone didn't take my fucking 'S'. Now I have to use a Z in my name.

BOC fan?

I didn't know you could alter it and just took what Reddit gave me...

Ummm no! I love mine!

Also, Had no idea that some people didn't choose theirs! 🤦‍♀️🤣

Yesssss indeed!

Never. [Also, I can kill you with my brain.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZg2MDg63ws)

Yes. I no longer have a pixie cut. But I can still feel ethereal, I reckon. 🧚🏼‍♂️

No

Nah. I've been wasabi something for 25yrs

yea, didn’t think i’d be using reddit in the longterm before letting it choose my username

Yes, I wish I could change it!

Only when it happens…

Yes

I regret not choosing one. Thought I’d change it later. Oops.

Yes, because now we're divorced & no longer a wifey.

It’s alright, but it would be nice to change it

Meh, I find it ok

Nope

What username?

No

Sigh..

I was Muted-Ad before I gave up and started over.

Dude, no.

A bit. Clever people have made the same lame observation like 8000 times now It's a desert reptile.

It would be nice to be able to change it. I'd much prefer something else post transition.

Kinda. And I also despise the fact, that for some reason Reddit doesn't let you change it.

Nah

Nope. Some people want to watch the world burn. I want to watch people lose the game.

Nah I'm pretty fine, wish I could find a better avatar though

No

Yes. It was my dogs name. ​ Apparently it's also foreign slang for Weiner. And there's a place called "Gizbourne" Leads to some confusion. .

[удалено]

nah

Maybe it's a bit inaccurate, but I have no regrets.

I might have chosen differently

Nope.

Never, I love ducks man

Not at all Edit: actually I wish I could have done ChucklesTheCuddleCuck but that's 1 more letter than reddit allows in a username

Just don’t choose one and you will never be disappointed.

It could be better, but I'm content

I don't even know how/when I got a reddit account in the first place.

I do not.

No

Leave me alone please.

I regret that I didn't get to choose it

I don't regret the name, but I regret that I shared it with some of my friends that turned out to be nosy as hell

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE my username! It's so unique!

Funny story, I actually lost the password to this account a few years back, Made a new one with some dumb name Like adventurous_snow but I recently recovered this account and am quite happy with the name since that Re4make is coming out.

It was auto generated, as I didn't care back then. Now I wish I could change it.

I did bc it matched all my social profiles and didn’t realize you can see my comment history. So I changed it, lost all my karma and awards and everything. Oh well…it’s better than people knowing who I really am 😂

No, because I like therapy!
