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

A catchphrase of an interestingly math-themed villain in my favorite game, The World Ends With You

One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.

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.

After one of the best songs from the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Fun fact: it's also the favorite song of their bassist!

It was a randomly generated name in an MMO I used to play.

I used to always play Pyro in Team Fortress Classic and would just run around setting people on fire and then running away. It was my only strategy and so I adopted the name.

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

My username originally was Emerald_Earth, because I saw the old Lemmy.world logo with the Earth (that had green on it, like am emerald). I switched to Emerald when I realized it was available. Short and sweet.

That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.
