I saw someone with “inner-child-abortion-clinic” on tumblr.
Definitely not mine. First, too many people don’t actually pay attention to realize it’s not “fuck” and surprisingly too few people get the joke considering Lemmy is so Linux crazy. But most frustratingly, people just assume I’m an asshole because of it and then treat me like I am. Sometimes I really regret it.
Telling people to filesystem check isn’t cool, man. Instead, we should coach them to switch to a journaling or CoW filesystem.
Well I think you’re cool. It’s the kind of inside joke that makes me feel foolishly self congratulatory for getting it
Thanks. That’s nice to hear. Being “cool” isn’t as important to me as not being interpreted as someone intending to be an asshole. I wish people assumed the opposite, instead. I may come off like an asshole, but my intent is the opposite and I want to spread happiness and knowledge. I’m just bad at conveying my intent and meaning.
I feel so validated!
I remember a guild called Two Maidens and Chalice. Can’t remember the game, but t’was funny.
Don’t try to win me over with your use of t’was.
T’wasn’t trying to.
Ran across a Hunter back in my WoW days named Bowjob. Had a good laugh.
Saw a UrethraFranklin on reddit I think

My personal favorite is FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io
Oh, yoo-hoo, @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world!
What’s up?
I love your username, but not as much as your accent.
Yours was the first I thought of after reading the question…
Kind of similar to your own, there.
No theirs has humor, class and sophistication.
Unless you are specifying a mailto link, you need to preface the username with @ to mention them, i.e @RobotZap10000@feddit.nl
Thanks.
I was attempting to say the name without mentioning them directly.
To this day, I remember from probably twenty years ago or more seeing something on SomethingAwful that included the name “HPHovercraft” and it’s just the greatest. I’ll never forget it.
I don’t get it?
Is this a question? Is the answer no?

My brother, when he was playing Overwatch back then, was killed by someone called Kim Jong Skillz
For tumblr, that username is cute. For LinkedIn, it would be brilliant.
I think your user name is pretty freaking clever, too. Nice job!
thanks!
I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.
This has me really curious about the most obfuscated, ambiguous/difficult/problematic possible usernames both for security/privacy and interesting anomalies in general.
Feel like one could make a whole book on this – please send any resources that could shed insight if possibleI don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

You have me curious to know more. I already know some Japanese from being a weeb, but could you explain what makes your example so difficult to type specifically? I only recognize one of the many symbols used
I think kaomoji have been a thing in Japan even before unicode was invented. The Japanese encodings and IME (input method esitors) allowed them to type a wide variety of characters, punctuation and symbols that aren’t available in most western encodings, so I feel like the Japanese folks had a head start on creative use of typography.
For example, if you want an eyeball you can just type “do” (degrees), and the IME will pull up °, and “omega” gives you ω, so it’s pretty easy to make (°ω°).
I wonder if you can break copy-paste by mixing in similar looking characters from a right-to-left language.
Actually a security concern for the web: IDN homograph attack
Iirc this was also an issue for hacks on the computer as well. Something about naming it pdf but it was actually an exe because they used right to left. Something like that
