Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute
I go by Klear these days, but originally picked King Klear as a nick, since I liked Shakespeare and Serious Sam. Obviously.
Anyway, there’s someone out there taking my name on certain sites, so I use KKlear as a backup. I’m always joking that I don’t know what I’d do if KKlear was taken as well…
In my country we have a chain of stores owned by the K-group, the K comes from ‘Kesko’. The used to have small, medium and large stores. The small ones were one K stores, mediums were two K stores and the large ones were three K stores. I shit you not, there used to be huge lighted signs outside the large ones that read ‘KKK-Supermarket’. You can find pictures of these on the internet still.
Torille!
