Bob is my Starbucks name, they always get my real name wrong.

I told you it wasn't important.

[–] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's what makes it optimal for testing code where the username isn't important.

Good old Slartibartfast has caught many a bug.

"I’m not going to ask you to remember them all. Mostly because I don’t remember them all. Therefore, for ease of both narrative and our collective sanity, I’m going to name only the more important members of the Crow’s Song. The rest, regardless of gender, I’ll call 'Doug.' You’d be surprised how common the name is across worlds. Oh, some spell it 'Dug' or 'Duhg,' but it’s always around. Regardless of local linguistics, parents eventually start naming their kids Doug. I once spent ten years on a planet where the only sapient life was a group of pancakelike beings that expressed themselves through flatulence. And I kid you notβ€”one was named Doug. Though admittedly it had a very distinctive smell attached when the word was 'spoken.''Doug'is the naming equivalent to convergent evolution. And once it arrives, it stays. A linguistic Great Filter; a wakeup call. Once a society reaches peak Doug, it’s time for it to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done."

Nice try, this is how you're going to get us all to confess our most commonly-used passwords.

Because my random word that first came to my mind was exactly that. And I'm not telling you what it is.

Just came up with a random name and it was Thomas.

In German, it's commonly an old people sounding name (Frederike, Ulrich, Brigitte, Gerhard, etc)
