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

    Same. I used my school username “1831942”. Later, I found out that was the date the American Nazi party was founded…

              Never go on a date with Julian. He’s gonna insist on bringing his rum and coke no matter what you’re doing and you KNOW Ricky’s gonna try and tag along…
