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

    Maybe we shouldn’t because having membership is literally the only requirement. By that measure, Lincoln, Einstein, and Dolly Parton are all Nazis.

    Also if you’re replying to me, I don’t think you need to link me.
