I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Got it right this time then!
At least its something
But, I like my username. Why would I change it?
Already ahead of you
Thank you sweet baby Jesus
My main Reddit name was far more vulgar than this.
I changed mine but I have no idea why I picked this
Yup
i've managed to get my u/n on whatever way back to the original demonoid. it wasn't until discord that i found another one, but they capitalize the U for some dumb tasteless reason... i was operating the minecraft discord and Unerds was part of this roblox discord that had somehow managed to get the discord.gg/minecraft name, and they were brigading us. it was kinda funny... ultimately the minecraft community team came on board and they knew people at discord and the url was acquired for us.
I screwed up getting my username without a number. It might still be available but I m also a little lazy and dont feel like changing now.
HairyButtocks96, at last, you will be finally mine.
I've never felt so free as finally ditching my 2013 tier username
I had this exact thought. It was time to shorten, and make it less weird.

I decided to just go with a randomly generated name. Privacy and all :P Also, don't have to stress over it being bad
Way ahead of you o7
