Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What inspired your username?
You know…
Don’t tell me it’s kaka midnight snack ng Pancit Canton?
Yes, but not the pre-packaged bullshit I advertised here on Lemmy. I literally made a pancit canton from scratch, and ofc I bought fresh pancit at mini-palengke nearby. lol
Oh wait, my username is not PancitCanton.
I literally made a pancit canton from scratch
I presume that’s from flour, water and other stuff? Damn, that’s hardcore! Also, probably really delicious since it’s freshly made (to cook).
I opened my fridge, at may natitira pa akong produces sa loob. Kaya napabili ako ng pancit kahapon.
Hahahaha! Nice! I think that’s the strength of pancit (canton, bihon, miki, sotanghon, all of them!) It’s very easy to just take whatever’s in your fridge and freestyle it.
miki
👀
A color and a birthstone.
What is the meaning of “Alog” na pananalita
It’s an old one, made back in my weeb days. I was looking to register at some forum, and at the time, I was into an anime character wearing glasses.
From then on, I kept using it, partly because part of my identity has grown around that username, and has become disassociated from the anime character that inspired it.
I was just throwing up names around. Dir En Grey had a song called “Decadence” and they were kind of “rebels” in that they weren’t your usual visual kei band.
lol gumamit lang ako ng username generator.
Was looking for a name for a game I used to play and checked a dictionary for inspiration. The word I checked was acacia, which led to acanthus, which led to akantha.
This is an old username, I believe it’s from a lyric from a song I liked to listen to a long time ago.
When I was making my Lemmy username, I was reminded of Oshi No Ko and KonoSuba so I went with the name “Aqua”. As for the “synonym” part, I saw a Red Skull meme saying that the word “synonym” has no synonym - now I know there is actually a synonym for “synonym” (that’s poecilonym)

Sana cheater nalang jowa ko mas madali pa sanang bumitaw. Hindi kagaya ng ganto na araw araw ako nakakatanggap ng verbal at emotional abuse na parang basahan lang ako tas di ko malaman kung bakit.
I’m sorry this is happening to you.
Leave before the nuclear bomb drops.
I’m saddened that you’re in such a situation. I hope you manage to get out of it soon.
1 year ago, I received my snack box from Reddit. May mga Starbucks frappe bottles pa sa ilalim niyan. That’s about it from them. Fuck Spez pa rin!
IDK about anyone else, but the phrase “consuelo de bobo” comes to mind.
Honestly a bit surprising how much of that stuff we can get here nowadays.
That’s actually local, a service called SnackMagic.
Reddit gave us an option to choose two out of many freebies which also includes 6-months Skillshare, 1-year Duolingo, DeleteMe, and Shine. Failed to read na for US lang DeleteMe so hindi ko nagamit. Should have gotten two snackboxes instead, lol.
Ah ok. Akala ko galing sa ibang redditor. Pero nice, never knew about this service before.
What if tanggalin na daw yung night shift dito sa work… actually pabor ang mga tao dito. I guess nobody really wants to do night shift. Heck, I don’t like it either. We just make it bearable.
Ang weird pala kapag nagpa check up ka sa workplace mo tapos kilala mo lang yung mga people. What if I was diagnosed with a disease tapos may stigma? What if I just want to keep it private? So weird.
It is tempting to do day shift. But as a nighter, malapit lang kasi work, so night = less traffic at least most of the time. I’m all for 6 am to 3 pm but the lines man, just parang nakakahinayang lang na nagising ka ng maaga para wala kang kasama, which is exactly what a few thousand people also thought at that moment lol.
Alas, but it is what it is. Do what is best for you, as talagang ymmv whether you want to be a day or night shifter.
Very tempting din kasi ang shift pay. But do check if your finance can take the hit kapag nawala sya, especially kung sakop mo ng buo yung 10pm-6am.
andami din naman natutulog kapag night shift.
I just went on a mini killing spree of cockroaches. Ugh, it was disgusting, but it would’ve been more disgusting if I just let them go. And then I had to clean everything kasi may amoy sila that’s even more annoying i don’t even want to talk about it 😤
May nag-attempt pa lumipad. You’re not getting away. It was like playing whack-a-mole with my shoe. Feeling ko medyo lumabas yung pent up rage ko in the process. It was still disgusting, plz
I miss my room, I miss my bed, gusto ko na umuwi. Na-trigger ata yung allergies ko dito.

Maraming salamat, @[email protected], sa pag-tanggal ng Colombia flag sa mukha ni daga. lol
Naalala ko tuloy yung Hello Colombia na paputok 🤣🤣🤣
lmao
“ni daga”
HAAHAHAH ^sobrang cute ng icon pero what if it ended up na daga pangalan nya no ahdfasdf^
Ewan ko nga kung iho-honor ko yung poll. Iba sa votes mga non-PH naman, including the leader right now (pilemon). Although I guess it can be modified to filemon = fil + lemon.
As someone who voted for Pilemon, I support changing it to Philemon or Filemon.
Shit, should I just make an entry for Philemon?
Edit:
Fuck it, I made the entry anyways. Bahala na.
'Yung “Pilemon” ay galing sa Cebuano folk song titled “Si Pilemon”.
Kung imo-modify ito sa “Filemon”, sa kanta naman 'yan ni Yoyoy Villame na “Si Filemon”.Correction: Yoyoy’s song is “Si Felimon” not “Si Filemon”.
meron rin cebuano band na called missing filemon! chika ko lang cause they’re gud!
Listening to them right now. Magaling nga sila! Maraming salamat!
May backstory naman pala yung Pilemon/Filemon/Philemon. Nice!
Hahaha! Ngayon ko lang na-realize na pwedeng Digimon din iyang Pilemon 😆
Ay, sabi na!! Kaya pala familiar!
i like the filemon idea! yung mabait sana kasi very pinoy pakinggan (also the nickname of many bubwits haha!)
The moon and a star(?)
i have no idea why the photo rotated lol
lasheng si OP
shot puno
Lemmy bug yan may mga photos talaga na narorotate dito
small price to pay
It’s almost Australia.
so that’s still probably like Indonesia or Papaua New guinea
iba talaga ang dopamine nang gumaganang program
Been trying the Lemmy apps that have come out and I like the look and feel of thunder best, at the moment I think I’ll be using this 3rd party app
It’s also crossplatform so that’s a W for iOS users who technically have just 1-2 options right now since closed yung Mlem.
Nakaka disappoint sa comsec ng r/piracy
Sleepless man runs amok, gets killed after trying to stab cop
That headline, lol.
Ika nga nila, “anuhin mo na ang lasing, wag lang ang
bagongpalaging gising.”I may have had learned the wrong version of the saying. 😂

The suspect’s wife said he hadn’t slept in three days. So we presumed his mental health was affected.
I’ve experienced bouts of being awake for more than 36 hours (I think there’s even a time I’ve been awake for 72 hours–my memory of that time is really fuzzy), and I can attest that at such times I’m irritable and yet slow to react at the same time. It’s a really strange state of mind to be in.
I am guessing, just out of my ass, that some kind of mania (a manic episode) is involved.
Regardless, I hope this incident leads to the man getting the help he needs.
EDIT:
Shit, kulang pa ako sa gising. Damn. I’m sorry. Pagkakaintindi ko kanina, nabaril lang.
My personal record is 30hrs straight. Mabuti nakauwi na ko bago magshut down yung katawan ko. Tapos tulog 14hrs straight.
Buti na lang! I can’t imagine doing anything remotely productive at such situations too.
And that 14h recharge, lol! At my worst, I’ve had days where I’d sleep for around 18 hours (after being awake for ~30 hours), even got to a 24h+ sleeping spree, but the feeling after such a long sleep, not that great either. Parang nakukulangan pa ako sa tulog.
It’s just unhealthy: too much wakefulness and too much sleep.
24 ang nagawa ko, and I have to say I don’t want to to it again. I’ve become more assertive when it comes to sleep time now. Di ko mapakawalan ang 8 hours sleep time, 1 to 4 hours if shit really needs to be done, but I still have to sleep somehow.
On recharge time, I only remember once na natulog ako ng 6 am and woke up around 9 or 10 pm (?) that evening. Luckily I didn’t feel dizzy or anything, but quite well rested. Hungry AF tho.
On a sort of relevant note, this was around the time I stumbled upon the sickness Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI), which is basically a disorder that can be passed down wherein the affected person dies slowly because they can’t sleep.
Experts estimate that only 100 people in 30 families across Europe, China, Japan, Australia, and the U.S. are carriers of the gene that causes this disease.
Source is WebMD. That’s like a terrible death sentence for a family.
Scary shit.
I’ve become more assertive when it comes to sleep time now.
Teach me your ways, master! lol!
Sarili ko pinaka-kalaban ko dito eh. Lalo na yung feeling mo you’re coming near a breakthrough and ayaw mong mawala sa groove since it’s very hard to get the mental train get going after a prolonged break (like sleep).
Eto ata yung side-effect ng na-train sa cramming, lol! Yung lahat na lang halos dinadaan sa overnight at pag-pigil ng tulog: notebooks (na sinusubmit sa teacher), projects, thesis.
But yeah, I know one has to be assertive and disciplined when it comes to sleep (part of a healthy sleep hygiene). Kaso mas di hamak siyang madaling sabihin kaysa gawin.
That’s like a terrible death sentence for a family.
That’s really terrible indeed. I’d probably just off myself if I find myself to be in such a situation.
New Maisie Peters album is amazing. Can’t think of a bad song at all.
Now time to plug in some metalcore, lest I go soft. 🤣
henlo
Good morning! 🌤️
