For Karl!
Randomly generated by another website and I thought it was funny.
My name is not Tony
In order to rise
From its own ashes

Burn.
I originally chose this as my Minecraft nickname, it's the name of a JavaScript library that I used (https://webpack.js.org)
I wanted to add "the magnificent" to the end of it but it didn't fit so
I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.
Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.
Mine was easy
iron maiden song, a poker hand, and my name has 2 a's.
No anime.

It's the back of my name stuck on the front of my name. Also hope it makes me sound like a knight of the seven kingdoms.
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.
Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. 😈
Beta as in Beta Pictoris, a cool star.
It's my real name.
There was a now deleted YouTube video by OneMinuteGalactica called "Apollo launches his viper funny" where Apollo from the original BSG tries to take off, but the launch tube just goes for miles and miles while the bridge crew and other pilots scramble to figure out what's going on. I thought the reference to it was funny and sounded cool when I was 15ish and it's pretty much stuck
I like popcorn.
Because it sounds perverse, slummy/moist, and randomly generated in equal measure.
Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...
Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds
I have no f***ing idea.
I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.
BillyWitchDoctor.com work mostly with chicken.
I am a TANK
And the most lit general.
Pun intended
I like to smoke dope.
Two random nouns
This my first nickname from when I start gaming on line : Star Craft - Broodwar.
Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken
I was trying to call someone an idiot, but I only had a calculator on hand. I also didn't consider talking as an option.
I was hoping to be generic. Also, to add to articles and photos on lemmy, I wanted random photos from users. I don't even care what they are. So far I've seen a beautiful landscape.
I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project
Don't have the best internet and my favorite video game franchise is Metal Gear.
Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here
I just think they're neat
