In memory of the Apollo app.
My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for "Largest Online Secret Santa".
It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did "save" two babies as a Paramedic.
Just made that shit up. I was trying to think of something stupid that wouldn't identify me in any personal way, and this one made me chuckle
I based it of the kid who goes “fahfahfahfah” in the pork chop sandwiches gi joe thing but everyone thinks it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham
It's like when kids make up a ridiculous nickname for you in grade school, but it sticks and you end up using it on your business cards.
I was tickled pink about this prehistoric fish that went viral a little while back and I thought I would adopt its name.
It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.
i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.
At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history
I got it from a random generator after I had to change my Minecraft username when I was a kid. Been using it ever since.
They were out of Bort usernames.
I very briefly hosted my own Lemmy instance at endofti.me. The username seemed appropriate there. Just kept it when I moved instances.

My favorite cyberpunk book, Neuromancer has a bartender in it named Ratz who serves drinks to the main character in a bar called Chatsubo
Not so wild as I used to be.
At the time, I was playing a lot of Diablo.
Sleeping pills and a misspelled person. It was my pirated minecraft username first.
It's a reference to Hollow knight and Subnautica
Also it's a double negative
I eat a lot of pasta
my friend's username started with "int" and I wanted a similar username, and interstellar sounded cool (I was also 12 when I made it) and then I added a 1 because interstellar was taken
It's a portmanteau of federation and degenerate. This account was going to be a porn account and I am a degenerate.
I have always loved magic/mages/wizards/locks/witches/shamans in video games. When you have to make tons of alt accounts on MMOs or RPGs everytime i did another mage playthrough I started coming up with names for the memes. Some were okay, some were bad.
When I went to do a hardcore playthrough of a game and was trying to think of a "sweaty" (sweaty being someone who puts in a lot of effort, for those unaware) pun, sweatyfireballs was born. I was so proud of if it, it became my new go to user name over my long running previous name that I came up with for my mage on vanilla wow. I peaked that day.
Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.
I was originally called deadlok, it was a gaming name I came up with when I was 10 and stuck to it other than contracting it a bit.
Resol = bunch of jumbled letters that are completely meaningless, but can be interpreted as either the first 5 letters of "resolution", or the backwards spelling of "loser"
van = Dutch word meaning "of" or "from"
Lemmy = this is insanely obvious

It was tough, but I squeeked it in just under the wire.
I'll let you guess the second half 👍
The first half is actually short for Indigo.
Back in the day my old internet alias was Indigo Michigan. I eventually dropped the Michigan when I became a Brony. "Indigo Brony" didn't really sound great, so I shortened it.
Had it for forty years, it was my CB radio call sign.
I read Les liaisons dangeureuses my second year in France and loved it. Misspellt de Valmonts name though :-)
The upside of the misspelling was that the name was always free on any forum up til not that long ago where bots started to recycle existing usernames all over the place.
It came from a one-off inside joke with some online friends (I don't remember the context) as PopeJoeI (Pope Joe the First). I eventually embraced it fully and changed all my online handles. At some point, Discord added crowns to server owners where it wasn't immediately obvious who owned it and it evolved into "Pope-King Joe".
