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

    Man you’re paranoid as hell. Maybe you’re right, and Ill regret these words, but I sleep soundly without worrying about Nazis. My biggest worry is my town not getting road construction done in a timely manner. Lot less stress.

      This comes across as privileged, not insightful
