I’ll go first, to set the tone:
Tay Zonday of ‘Chocolate Rain’ fame used to follow me on Twitter. 💪

For a long time I was in the first image result if ‘London goth’ was typed into google.
I interviewed Robby Van Winkle for my university’s newspaper back in 1990.
He actually was a pretty interesting person to talk to. Shocking I know.
I was among the first hundred people to join Reddit.
Woah. Are you still on it now? Why or why not?
I am, with the obvious username. I mostly only post in /r/flashlight now, as it’s the most active community anywhere online for that niche interest.
Remember to double-space your answer in a 12-point font.
I have a low-6-digit Slashdot account, and I was user 480 on the Minecraft bukkit forum lol
I had a sub-5k Slashdot account. As I recall. Always found it weird how people made a big deal out of low ID users, but I swear nobody ever gave a damn about me.
I had the same for fark.
There’s a blast from the past! Thanks for the reminder. I have a 5-digit user ID account, and I just checked to find out that it’s still active. I probably hadn’t logged in for about 15 years, and it still has an email address that went away 25 years ago.
I was among the first couple thousand to join gmail.
People who think that my simple email address is their email address (which I guess is my email address plus some numbers or something) have become the bane of my existence in the years since.
I’ve had at least three different people on different continents provide my Gmail address to various services. I’ve ignored most messages meant for those people, but one gave it to his lawyer when he was charged with a serious crime for which his conditions of release forbade contact with children. I took the time to tell the lawyer that’s nothing to do with me.
My great grandfather tailored some clothes for President LBJ. It was after he left office I think.
Did that include pants?
I’m 2 degrees of separation from Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Tim Walz.
I spilled Diet Coke on Ann Coulter.
Good.
I made the turtle subreddits custom Snoo logo.
Many of the songs I ripped and shared via Napster in the late 1900’s continued to appear on legitimate platforms years later.
How do you know they are the same files though?
Same bitrate, file size, and metadata (with my tags still included), along naming schemes and occasional misspellings.
I wonder how many of my Oink’s Pink Palace uploads are still around, or Waffles.
Kinda miss discovering music that way but don’t have the energy/time to spend on it these days. Maybe pick it back up when my kid leaves for college in about a decade.
I’m that person for the science series The Day the Universe Changed by James Burke.
🫡 Thank you for your song preservation service.
psst Hey, uh listen. We’ve all been talking and while, yes the term late 1900’s is factually correct, you can just not say it. Like it’s so easy, you don’t have to do anything or can do literally anything else.
My buddy’s friend knew the guy who painted the helicopter that was used in Rambo III. Oh yeah! I’ve been drinking free on that one for years (as long as I’m drinking tap water).
I was in a ring pop commercial for about half a second, and it was just my silhouette.
I also started a Smash Brothers tournament for Smash 4 that ended up in the national rankings at one point. I think our largest tournament had 80 people. We had some high ranking players like Jtails come, and even guest commentators like Max Ketchum. I was actually college room mates with one of PC Chris’ close friends, and I had the pleasure of getting absolutely destroyed by Chris in Melee a few times in some basement hangouts. My college room mate actually made a brief appearance in the Smash Brothers documentary in the chapter about PC Chris.
Johnny Pemberton once said I was a living angel.
ESPN sent some poor intern to film a goofy segment at my college before a big game. People had no idea why he and the cameraman were there and were kind of weirded out by it, so I went up to ask what was going on. I thought I might have to tell them to leave. He explained that they were just trying to film something goofy so I volunteered to help and got a bunch of students in on it. The segment was as dumb as you would expect, but good enough to fill time on the Cold Pizza morning show. ESPN mailed me a tape of the segment to say thanks.
So I guess I was on national TV.
I am allowed to hop on stage with Red Grammar (Andy Grammar’s Father) and make any song he sings a duet. I got this privilege completely by accident, when I was 7 or 8.
My Spotify issue/feature request was attributed to bringing back a good version of the full screen view on desktop.
I’ve since moved away from Spotify but it was cool that that happened (even though they should not have made it shit beforehand in the first place)
Just curious, why did you need a full screen Spotify? I made that shit as small as possible when I used it
It’s great in communal areas like at an office where you want music for everyone, but also want everyone to be able to easily glance over at what’s playing. It’s good for secondary monitors and parties too.
Ah that makes sense, I hadn’t considered that.
I wrote a homebrew Floridaman race for D&D that went viral
None of my actual works are ever actually appreciated, but I still see that damn thing from time to time
