I originally chose this as my Minecraft nickname, it's the name of a JavaScript library that I used (https://webpack.js.org)

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 like popcorn.
Because it's accurate
Mine should be obvious.

Two random nouns
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 have no f***ing idea.
Because it sounds perverse, slummy/moist, and randomly generated in equal measure.
1: Has just three letters. 2: Doesn't really mean anything. 3: I like how it sounds.
I like to smoke dope.
Randomly generated by another website and I thought it was funny.
I'm afraid to say why.
iron maiden song, a poker hand, and my name has 2 a's.
Mine was easy
Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.
My name is not Tony
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.
song by a band that fitted with my habit of nuking my PC every couple of weeks, either because I wanted to try a different Linux distro or because I got some kind of Limewire chlamydia
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. 😈
I'm a Bailey Sarian Fan.
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.
It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.
b
Because 10 year old me didn't know how to spell in japanese.
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 left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project
I just think they're neat
