I’ll start! I joined lemmygrad around the whole “SOSCUBA” thing, my name isn’t actually Jonathan. Duh. I was mocking the “spanish first name bunch of numbers” guys who were shitting on Cuba and pretending to be Cuban from Miami.
I’d like to hear your stories!
funny Stalin big spoon eat Ukraine grain
You mean to tell me you dont regularly eat copious amounts of grain? I am heart broken,
I do
that fact just happens to not be the origin of my usernameHuzzah, my heart is saved!
When first joining Lemmygrad I chose “Commie Beetle” because, well, I like beetles. Then I changed it to “Escarabajo Comunista” which is basically the same but in spanish. Now it’s Nocheztli, which is the nahuatl name of an insect used by indigenous people in Mexico to make red dye.
That last part is especially fitting 🚩
My username is a mix between ironic pun and wordplay.
Arachnid + Anarchism + Stalin
Also I was low on ideas for a username lol
I have insomnia.
I think it was a New Yorker or Wall Street Journal article or something where they were humanizing Buttigieg. I wish I remembered more about it, I think it was either right after Biden won and he got a position in the cabinet or it was when Buttigieg was running for pres, but basically the reporter described the layout of his office and was like “he’s normal and not extravagant, he wears his hair in the style of Mike Pence, he reads newspapers, he keeps in touch with constituents, he has a map of Afghanistan’s minerals and resources above his desk, he has a framed picture of his husband, y’know, TOTALLY A NORMAL GUY” and I died laughing, I think they mentioned it a few times on Chapo or something and decided to name my reddit username after it and then I joined lemmygrad on the same name
Don’t you have a map of the world’s precious resources above your desk?
Just Yemen and Iran, and that’s only because my
CIA agentfriend told me there’s interesting pics of mineral maps to use as screensavers, pretty cool looking and innocent 😇
It’s the name of my cute lil 8 yo cat
At first I chose Spanish Commie because it was simple and descriptive, but later on I started using Al-Andalusian since I’m from Andalusia and I perceive Al-Andalus to be kinda like an alternative to Spain.
It stayed from reddit and I didn’t bother to change it, it was originally named because of well, Kirby and whip because I like whips, and because of this image:
And 1987 is because of the Bite of 87.
Because t’s similar to my real name
Always knew your name was Seksfemtreu
LOL
It’s actually sekshundredefemogtredive
Hmm, I need some cool sounding nickname for this fan fiction site. Yeah, Anatoly sounds cool, but it lack something… Yes, this is ideal.
10 or so years later still use it
are you from anatolia though
From Ural
Well, to be honest, I wasn’t actually sure what Username I should go with lol. They’re pretty hard to come up with.
But I will say this, at the time I was still venturing /leftypol/ (not anymore though, place’s a crack den), and I loved its mascot (Catgirl named Alunya). I decided to combine it with “Nyanners”, a VTuber (that I don’t watch, but still, makes for a pretty punny name).
And so there you have it, Alunyanners.
Interkosmos - Branch of the Soviet space program
61 - 1961, year of Yuri Gagarin’s flight
Because it’s what my people need, President Xi
