Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Favourite monster in Monster Hunter is Tobi-Kadachi. Fanged Wyvern is its class in the games.

I seemingly have a complete disregard for anonymity.

Sargteapot isn't a Sargent, infact sargteapot is SomeAwesomeRandomGuy who doesn't like tea or pot

[โ€“] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is the name I've always gone by, for everything. Except for back in the day during club penguin, but nvm that.

My idea behind the name is I come second. First the bomb, then it explodes and you get the Boom, loud and proud, fits me perfectly.

So I'm not Da_bomb, I'm Da_Boom

unsigned int is a data type reference. I nicked it from an username on Reddit.

Death makes us equal as corpses. Be more equal to others in life.

"ShinigamiOokamiRyuu" which is the URL name is a reference to a few anime. "Lenny" and "Leni", which are in the screen name, are nicknames which are short for the actual first name. The nicknames have been established nicknames since childhood.

Mines a hand soap. I'm 43 but heard the name as a kid in my dad's car garage. It's a soap for removing grease and oil from mechanics hands. I always liked the name. It's not like any other English word or name.

Based off archaic spelling of the river Acheron which seemed cool. Added ร† half for hipstery, half to ensure uniqueness, and half because funny that natural shortening to "ash" also name of first letter. Some places don't allow ร† though like Lemmy, so have to make due with AE.
