Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute
My birthday is 8/18 (18.8 if you aren’t in North America), so I have a few accounts that end 818. I legit had someone ask me, in all seriousness, if I was an idiot nazi who screwed it up.
That reminds me of a t-shirt a Danish comedy metal band put out which, translated to English, says
“Club 664: the satanic cult for stupid people” 😁
