TIFU by accidentally choosing a nazi username - eviltoast

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

    I just lost my comment when i hit the reply button, and I honestly don’t care enough to type it again.

    Long story short: there are side effects, it is not “fully” reversible, fuck you

      So you are just burying your head in the sand and pulling conclusion out of your ass since you don’t care how many trans kids die so that the extremely minute number of regretful kids won’t have to deal with treatable temporary side effects?

      Very revealing how selective this care for children is.
