like, GiantHairyNipplemonsters.com..

Or maybe better, the domain for beer brewed especially for gamers.. Game Ale.

"... that was.. luthis at.. gaymail.. .com???"

"Exactly, luthis@gameale.com."

".. g a y..m a i l?"

"What?? No! GAME ALE dot com!"

Just the random shit that comes into my brain when I walk without other stimulus.. surely I'm not the only one.

Oh man, that one is excellent!

I worked an ISP in the nineties and a coworker registered atdot.com, ran a home server for it with sendmail, and assigned himself the dotat username. He would tell people over the phone that his email was "dot at at at dot dot com". This was when you had to contact InterNIC directly to register a domain.

Could be the same guy for all I know.

Digression: I registered mouse.net in ~1996 back when TLD categories were being enforced. But the NIC bungled the renewal and by the time I proved it to them it had been snagged by a Korean company. NIC threw their hands up because no one there spoke Korean. I think Altavista's Babelfish existed then but I don't remember if it supported Korean.

I work at a gaming themed brewery and I now desperately wish I had @gameale(.)com as my domain

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't even checked to see if it's available, it could still be yours!

[–] Perhyte@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Just checked, registered since at least 2018. The .org and .net variants are still available though!

I own poggers.website which is always funny when I tell people to look at my "poggers website".

At some point I tried to register chee.se so my email could be themoonis@chee.se but unfortunately it's a 4-letter domain that spells a common word, so it's squatted to hell and back.

[–] ayaya@lemdro.id 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't let your dreams be dreams. ischee.se is available so you could do themoon@ischee.se

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but the whole point was that the @ would replace the a. Besides I have decided I would stop buying domains for single jokes.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 19 points 11 months ago

For a while, I had butt.online as domain. You can also use subdomains like sexy.butt.online or licks.butt.online or fucks.butt.online... endless buttibilities. I set up my.wife@has.a.big.butt.online if someone wanted her email, butt that backfired...

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No, because https://cock.li/ already exists and offers absolutely fantastic email hosting that you'd be proud to put on a business card.

The link is safeish for work, I swear. The only nsfw thing is the naughty language. No nekked pictures or goatse awaits the brave traveler.

[–] thefeeltrain@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I pay like $10/yr to keep the@feeltra.in even though I never actually use it.

Still waiting for the .train TLD to get made. There is .car, .bike, .taxi, .boats, and even .motorcycles but apparently nobody uses trains.

[–] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I can imagine sh.itjust.works admin giving out his email...

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I've always used "Don B. Sonozi" (godfather@mafia.org) as my spam email, for shit that demands signup but not verification.

I figure that one day - one day - a spammer will learn regret.

[–] Waker@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Hilarious. As a non native English speaker, that took me a few seconds to get. But it's so good lmao, I'm stealing this one.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I had drunkenloser@budweiser.com back when they had free email accounts. No one believed it was real.

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I own [MyFullName].com just so I can have the email me@[MyFullName].com.

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Similar. In stores or wherever in-person a hostess asks for my mail for ads or some dumb subscription, I just start to dictate "spam...yes, spam@[myname].com". Sometimes they believe me and I actually got the spam since I configured a catch-all.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

um, dont look at my instance domain name...

Person: What's your email address?

Me: Firstname @ Lastname . nz

Person: Blue@Ether.nz?

Me: no, didn't you listen?

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 6 points 11 months ago

I also have ben.dover@buggerme.

Bugger Me is a very common phrase down under

Not to embarrass or unsettle, but I know someone, when debating online, who would ask the other side to send him their evidence, or an article, by email at this address : chris@toujoursraison.final

In French, if you read all the words and symbols, it translates as "Chris is always right period".

[–] zwaetschgeraeuber@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

not joke domains, but when high on acid, my gf and me watched finding nemo. all i had in my head in that time was, how great the idea of a crypto coin named "fishcoin" would be.

[–] Sailing7@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I love to submit my ILoveSpam@domainname.com E-Mail Adress at In-Person Counters when they ask for an E-Mail-Adress. Makes every person I told it grin :D

Edit: noticed some sentence building errors. Corrected 'em.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

corn.com is supposedly for sale. My partner thought I was crazy for submitting an inquiry to buy it, but GoDaddy never responded :( There went my dreams of being captaincorny@corn.com or maybe cornman@corn.com.

Oh well, they probably wanted thousands of dollars anyway. All the 4-character .coms likely got squatted ages ago.

I don’t think Communist.party is owned by anyone yet.

Also Sausage.party is a good one.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

The joke

You are here

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

lemon.party isn't owned by anyone, either.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Brainwashthemasses.org was one I got a long time ago because I thought it funny.
