On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.
My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.
As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.
My name is Joseph, and a lot of kids mispronounce it as “Jofish” or something similar. I can’t remember who actually started the nickname for me, but it caught on. It doesn’t hurt that I enjoy being in and around water anyway.
Very few people know who/what Chip Chipperson is. I particularly like the young fella and chippys mittens was the name of his pet horse, RIP.
Should be obvious
Kinda/remotely/vaguely is the phonetic version of the surname my best friend gave me some 40+ years ago.
The avatar is a red blob hinting at what I’m into (plus my name) ;)
Occasionally, my socks go missing.
A friend in primary school just started giving us weird nicknames and decided to call me the wizard pope (not really but that is the best translation) he even held elections and elected me to the position so I just started using it as my username. The picture is self explanatory though I did have to change it in the spring.
My username is my first name abbr and my middle initial just backwards. Ben A. It still pretty anonymous if I wanted it the right way around but Aneb is very funny to me tbh. It was very seductive when Staments said it in verse in his voice memo to me a while back. Its also something my grandma does with words so its an homage to her as well. tsuguanimajneb would be too long ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Keys on a qwerty keyboard. Just so that it’s different here from everywhere else.
The only reason I have a username and not an avatar is because I was forced to pick a username but not an avatar when registering.
Bizzle is my legal name
Fo shizzle my Bizzle
Hollow is a song title by an EDM artist named Dabin and has themes about loneliness, emptiness, and inner turmoil. Also depression makes me feel hollow. V is the first letter of my first name.
Here’s the song: https://youtu.be/K-AD0iMs_ak
I don’t have an avatar because I can’t figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.
On the web, click on your username in the upper right and then click on settings. Under Avatar you can browse your local file system for a suitable file.
It’s my actual name, I got it for my birthday.
I had just heard the expression: “It helps the general effort.” It was in a Discworld audiobook. It made me think: “Yeah, I could use some help right now.” That was still rattling around in my head when I had to come up with a username. I don’t remember what I was having trouble with, so I guess that worked out.
Reference to a bad* movie that I think everyone forgot. Except for me… Making sure that movie won’t be forgotten. (Well, I think its bad)
Never bothered with an avatar.
