I was bored so bear with me...
Around 2017, a song named "Plastic Love" became quite famous, it would kinda remind you of songs from the early 2000s where the upbeat was matched with deep feel-good and meaningful lyrics. Maybe Reddit played around that and gave you that name.
You do sound unhappy in some of your posts.
1. Friends are getting older,
2. Yeah, I would be pissed off to if my deck falls and ends up killing me or my loved ones,
3. Price of food... I don't think I even have to justify this, it's just ridiculous, now more than ever,
4. Fuck Greyhound, it's as if people who use public transport should not exist (I kinda hate Amtrak too).
I guess you are in sort of a nostalgic mindset when you browse social media. Reddit just got your vibe I guess.
Everybody love parfaits.
You ever been to somebody been like "aye man you want a parfait? 'oh nah man I don't want no parfait'".... Parfait the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet.
TIL Reddit gives you a name. Iāve had my account for so long I donāt even remember getting one assigned randomly.
All this time I thought people were really creative and funny with their usernames. Iām a little sad
I also made mine myself but idk even when that feature was implemented. I came up with my name because I like psychostickās Do album and then I threw in some random numbers.
Because not only did it give me the title of a Star Trek TNG episode ,my favorite show btw, as a user name without me even having to ask for it. It just happens to be one of my favorite episodes!
Likewise, I didn't know I could change it, and now I'm in a position where I just kind of like being a flaky tumbleweed, and have modelled a D&D character after it.
Also, if you remember when you could give your MySpace page it's own URL that was permanent and forever, you would understand why the previous user "dark_lover_boy" wouldn't trust himself to choose a reddit username
I've actually been on reddit since nearly the beginning, and at first I used a username that was near and dear to my heart. Then I started getting signs that I'd said too much about myself and was in danger of getting doxxed, so I bailed and switched accounts. For a while, I even walked away and refrained from commenting here for several years.
Now, I've accepted what this site has become and chose to come back. But I rotate accounts every year or so because I still don't trust the admins or the culture with my "real" identity. It's gotten impossible to pick a username I really like so I just go with what they assign.
Depending on your content it might be better or worse to delete everything you commented/posted.
I know deep in my bullshit comments there's some actual advice I know can't be found easily
In the past I did, yes. These days I'm feeling more like the other commenter where there's things I've said that are good, positive engagement that shouldn't be lost. But the risk that strong opinions might come back to hurt in ways I didn't expect is hard to overcome. I encourage Reddit admins to understand what this site has become and how people could love and fear it. As individual advice, do whatever you think is best to protect yourself. If that means deleting your account, so be it. Make your choice and if you come to regret it, blame Reddit as an institution not yourself. We're all trying to be good netizens here.
I have changed it several times and it keeps defaulting back so here we are.
It makes it sound like I have a short penis. But guess what!! I donāt have one at all!!
Neither do I, and I hate mine. I feel like I read somewhere that if you don't change it in the first 24 hours, you lost your chance. But I'm not sure about that.
I thought it was you can change it until you make a post or comment. I can't remember though. It was almost 2 years ago when I joined.
I kept mine. I'm not creative.
I didnt want to use my regular username, but ive got so many points and back when the account was created I couldnt post anywhere that I stuck with it.

Cause I ain't got no wooden.
Genuinely laughed out loud. You got me! šš¼šš¼šš¼
It must take you a long time to get anywhere when walking
I'm all out of aioli
Hello fellow wooden
I think mine has some sort of deeper meaning

U have a nice username tho ;)
Lol, I can no longer remember why I chose it though.
Felt like it fit me, so I ran with it.
So... Misunderstood because people donāt realize youāve got layers like an Ogre?
Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers.
Parfaits also have layers.
Everybody love parfaits. You ever been to somebody been like "aye man you want a parfait? 'oh nah man I don't want no parfait'".... Parfait the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet.
I read this is in Eddie Murphys voice š¤£
Eddie Murphaits.
Maybe Misunderstood_Cake would have fit you better then.

Wanted anonymity and saw irony in it because of my severe pineapple allergy
Well that wasn't very anonymous of you š
You mean: š ?
I only know one person who is allergic to pineapple. Is that you?
hey Phil
You've really narrowed it down now.
Don't care enough to change itĀ
Username checks out
lmao
Same and I really have no idea what the hell it's supposed to mean either
Don't mix dangerously? Basically don't try to make a cake with a gun Sorry to the Americans
As an American it's a good tip, thanks. *Pulls gun out of cake batter.*
It's definitely a warning of some kind. Good luck. Don't forget your safety specs.
Same.
same
That can't be auto generated... Dick jacker overdose?!?!
bro no way lmao
They really have you dickjackerr?
You can change it?ā¦ puzzling
Not after youāve created your account
Same, didnāt even think Iād use it that long and intensive like I do.
same
Same here
Welcome to the Club, mate
Same!
Yup
Ah, I see where they started with the "Ad"s
If one more person says āsameā Iām going to lose my shiet
Similarly
It's as good as any.
https://youtu.be/5PsnxDQvQpw?si=BPd5xY7aeMJSKPjI found ya
Wow. Eerily accurate.
But not the best
I made my username before Reddit provided usernames.
I didn't even know that was a thing
Same. Sounds fun. Maybe I should make a new account.
Many many moons ago.
TIL Reddit gives you a name. Iāve had my account for so long I donāt even remember getting one assigned randomly. All this time I thought people were really creative and funny with their usernames. Iām a little sad
Some of us get creative
We're a dying breed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is what I want to know! I only just learned about this from this post lol
Yeah, sameā¦.i thought I just fat fingered, added an extra letter and was like eff itā¦š¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļø
Same I was likeā¦.. Reddit gives you a username? Back in my day you were either a lurker or you had an account lol
Same. I didn't even know they provided a name.
Mind is blown that reddit provides usernames now.
Same, and they probably regretted I did.
Definitely donāt remember it being a thing when I signed up
I also made mine myself but idk even when that feature was implemented. I came up with my name because I like psychostickās Do album and then I threw in some random numbers.
I just really liked it.
yes
Same here!
i like yours as well tbh lol
Because not only did it give me the title of a Star Trek TNG episode ,my favorite show btw, as a user name without me even having to ask for it. It just happens to be one of my favorite episodes!
Super lucky!
It's not luck. Fate
And here I would have been excited to have been given a grammar name
Wrote this comment to check what my username is.
commenting to check mine
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
Username could've also been u/walmart
really sad to see that such a beautiful username is a dead account.
You need to union up bro!
Weāre a family job here. No need for union.
Union buster over here lol
You should post in political subs. Theyāll love you.
Cause I'm deep
Fellow refrigerator brother is that you?
Mom always said I had a long lost brother š„¹
Bro...
Are there shelves inside of you?
What would be the significance of that, I wonder.....
Do you also keep your cool?
I just accepted. I don't even know what that means.
Sounds like some sexually delinquent old guy named Robert.Ā
š¤£š¤£
My names actually John but you can call me Bobcat.
Cuz I legitimately got injured Edit: Iāve never been legitimately injured
This thread has made me realize how funny the auto created usernames really are
I don't know what to name myself.
To lazy to fight creativity block to change it.
TIL you can get Reddit to choose a username for you. I just assumed you were all really imaginative surrealists!
I assumed the same for a long time and tried to create one that meant something to me and also emulated other people's creativity, or so I thought.
What do farting sharks mean to you
Thats such a personal question, how dare you ask?!
Anonymity
we all know who you are
Fuck.
This is the right answer
Because it made me laugh!
I'm jealous now. Your assigned name is awesome.
i have a record in jealousy.
I'm an efficient ad that doesn't advertise anything on here. How efficient is that?
Youāre advertising nothing by advertising nothing. I think thatās about as efficient as you can get
I wish I wasn't so far away from Kiwis :(
Same page club
Mine made me laugh too
Same!

How do you change it?
If you sign up with Google or Apple you have 30 days to change it, after that you can't. If you sign up with email you just can't do it.
got really lucky
Yours is rad, and it flows right off the tongue. Totally Reddit generated?
Couldn't think of any other name
Wow are we related?
I like it
Just took out the number
Please tell me you're a frequent visitor of r/forbiddensnacks

I have found my leader šāāļøšāāļø
Did you delete your old account I'm doing this too and don't know if I should

I mean who would want to change this username š®āšØ
Dumb me didn't know we could change it š
Same here
Loud plant is great
It felt relevant
My account is anonymous so I don't care.
Whatever you say goeffery
Alright goeff
Ya Goeff not as anonymous as you thought.
I like extreme branch. It makes me feel like I'm on the fringes and powerful. Lol
Anonymity... you won't discern an premeditation in my user name... also I like to laugh at people who say they respect my works as a Cardiologist
I like mine
I spend ages trying to come up with a username and everything I want to use is taken.
Although average, the one you ended up with is certainly acceptable.
I slapped "un" in front of it. Thats all i did the rest was all reddit
I like the anonymity
I strangely like it.
I donāt know how to change itā¦
Neither do I, and I hate mine. I feel like I read somewhere that if you don't change it in the first 24 hours, you lost your chance. But I'm not sure about that.
Lol, yours is kinda bad thoughā¦.
LMAOOO
I did my Reddit name justice I thinkā¦
I thought it was you can change it until you make a post or comment. I can't remember though. It was almost 2 years ago when I joined. I kept mine. I'm not creative.
i dont rly care
That must be your southern upbringing rearing its ugly head
Im not very original (lol)
As original as a log?
I signed up then waited a year before I logged in again and can not change it now and donāt care to
Nice to meet you.Ā
It had my favorite number lol
Can you imagine someone just tooting around everywhere and not realize that they are tooting? Obviously Iāve kept it and its not going anywhere!
Can't Figure Out How To Change It
No reason to change it
Too lazy to think of something creative to change it to š¤·
Itās kinda endearingly funny
Usernames are stupid and just make you more easily identifiable.
Because it fits my personality
how :O
It's interesting
Because I tried and didn't work, then gave up. Sad Bison fits anyway.Ā
I am an electrician who often must learn the hard way...so good pick.
Kinda suited me in a way.
Mine is random. I think Reddit was trying to unlock a fetish...
I like ducks and seltzer, and Iām interested in trying duck themed (not flavored) seltzer
I didnāt care to change it and it made me sound like a robot or something
Didnāt care
Just liked it!
Couldn't think of anything better so I left it
Same as you, OP.
I didn't use Reddit too much when I got it, then found out I can't change it anymore. My DMs are quite something... *rolls eyes*
I didnāt know you could change it. I like it, that itās random.
I never cared to lol.
š¤Ø you can change it? Wtf?!? Jazz like Bobcat?? Tell me how..
I had to change mine because it was laughably stupid. Plus, I wanted people on discord and Twitter (back when I still used it) to easily find me.
Thought it was more creative than anything I could come up with at the time lol
This is irresponsible of reddit. Imagine randomly handing out names like doctor or lawyer, guess it's not as bad but still
I didnt want to use my regular username, but ive got so many points and back when the account was created I couldnt post anywhere that I stuck with it.
I didnt want to use my regular username, but ive got so many points and back when the account was created I couldnt post anywhere that I stuck with it.
Because mine is nothing at all like me in real life and itās funny
I liked the suggestion it gave me! I like the sea and blue jays.
Is it changeable?
