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

    Dude they have literally been distributing Nazi fliers in the cities near me trying to recruit new members.

    Wake the fuck up, or they’ll gather until they are something you wish you’d noticed way earlier.

    My grandfather got a Purple Heart in WWII and I’ll be god damned if my daughter is gonna do the same. Fuck Nazi scum.
