I’ll go first, to set the tone:
Tay Zonday of ‘Chocolate Rain’ fame used to follow me on Twitter. 💪

Many of the songs I ripped and shared via Napster in the late 1900’s continued to appear on legitimate platforms years later.
psst Hey, uh listen. We’ve all been talking and while, yes the term late 1900’s is factually correct, you can just not say it. Like it’s so easy, you don’t have to do anything or can do literally anything else.
🫡 Thank you for your song preservation service.
How do you know they are the same files though?
Same bitrate, file size, and metadata (with my tags still included), along naming schemes and occasional misspellings.
I wonder how many of my Oink’s Pink Palace uploads are still around, or Waffles.
Kinda miss discovering music that way but don’t have the energy/time to spend on it these days. Maybe pick it back up when my kid leaves for college in about a decade.
I’m that person for the science series The Day the Universe Changed by James Burke.
As a child I was body slammed on a bouncy castle by Weird Al Yankovic.
I won front row tickets and a meet and greet with him as a look alike contest! Because I was the only one that showed up dressed like him!
I’m jealous
lol I wanna hear more about this story!
I kinda wanna reply with a shittymorph and how weird al ended up plunging 50 ft through the air onto him through the announcers table or something something. But I’m too lazy.
I ran in a 10km race and ended up taking a wrong turn. Everyone behind followed me. A small local newspaper interviewed me. I ended up in a quick tv segment and had a small write up in the paper.
Oh man, what happened when you realized? Did you have to stop like Forrest Gump or could you lead them back on track?
Hahaha, that happened to me as well, although nobody followed me. I ended up in the marathon race, for which I hadn’t trained, so after 30 km (!) I had to finally give up and ride back in shame in the car they had at that station together with the others that didn’t made it.
I did run the marathon a few years later.
The Daily Show flew out to my hometown for an investigative report on stolen Crimewatch signs.
I still have mine.
Jon Stewart or the others?
It was before Jon Stewart. And I’m pretty sure it was Colbert who actually did the on scene reporting.
Colbert started two years before Stewart?
Yes. Craig Kilborn was the host for the first 3ish years. Colbert was a correspondent from midway through Kilborn’s tenure.
I never knew that I thought Jon was there first!

For a long time I was in the first image result if ‘London goth’ was typed into google.
I set up a SteamLink app onto a Raspberry Pi but I ran into a bug and couldn’t get it to work correctly. Valve acknowledged that they were looking into fixing it but after a few weeks of checking, I just put it aside and forgot about it.
Well nearly a year later, the thought randomly popped into my head that I should check to see if they had fixed it. I went to the Steam Link section of Steam’s forum, and sure enough, one of Valve’s devs had posted a new version that fixed the issue.
… 30 seconds prior to me checking the forum.
I’ve never had something like that align so perfectly, but also for something so ridiculous as that.
I had that with a GitHub repo seemed abandoned, only to get updated first time in 4 years just a minute before I checked.
I’m pretty sure I am Lemmy’s most commentest user.
My Lemmy.world account has more and flying squid had about five times that.
Mine would be 3 or 4 times more if I could have combined it with my original Yiffit account and my World account, both of which are older than this one.
Also: Since when is 13k higher than 15k?
15k? I saw like 9.9!
Plus if we combined accounts UM would have you beat by a hundred times over.
Federation hiccups?
UniversalMonk doesn’t count for 2 reasons:
-
It’s all pretty much just spam
-
Most people probably block the tool.
How much time do you spend commenting in hexbear and lemmygrad?
I look forward to and savor your comments and now you’re telling me I have to catch up on over six thousand of them?
Zero. I have both of those blocked, and they’re also defederated from Pawb.Social.
I’m impressed I always had you pegged as a closeted commie.

I gotta work harder to beat the AI. And FlyingSquid unless he was also an AI… 🤔
pretty sure he wasn’t, kinda insane he’s still at the top with how long he’s been gone…
Does anyone know why he left?
Mental health and he moved to a different country, IIRC.
You’re on there twice that’s fucking hilarious.
I recognize a lot of these names, which only tells me I’m too, chronically online.
Or that Lemmy is small :P
I have mixed feelings about not being on the list.
You are known as “the furry user” in my mind xD
Very memorable
Thank you for your service, I often worry that I’m too active here but seeing other people who comment more is reassuring
I get worried when I see you in posts after posts, where I also comment in, and I’m like ‘he’s gonna think I’m stalking him’.
The fact that you are just constantly online makes me feel a little better :p
Nah, don’t worry, you don’t act like a stalker.
Haha such a silly thought that you are stalking me.
It’s the other way around. 😈
I’m not stalking you also, but my Lemmy client tells me I have voted your comments at a total of +156
my Lemmy client
Which?
Voyager! The best I’ve tried for sure.
🥺👉👈
now kith
I encoded one of the very first mp3’s ever made, when it was still a “theoretical” model by Fraunhofer. I sung “I will survive” but in my very bad impression of William Shatner, accidentally posted it many years later on Napster, and found that copy following around many years after that on a torrent site. So, if you have a very old, very fake “Shatner” singing “I Will Survive”, it might be me.
It MIGHT be you? How many recordings like that do you think are bouncing around?
At least one other that I have encountered, and the band Cake also did the song and they almost sound like they’re doing a Shatner…
I wonder if they found yours and that inspired them?!
Awesome!
I was among the first hundred people to join Reddit.
I was among the first couple thousand to join gmail.
People who think that my simple email address is their email address (which I guess is my email address plus some numbers or something) have become the bane of my existence in the years since.
I’ve had at least three different people on different continents provide my Gmail address to various services. I’ve ignored most messages meant for those people, but one gave it to his lawyer when he was charged with a serious crime for which his conditions of release forbade contact with children. I took the time to tell the lawyer that’s nothing to do with me.
Woah. Are you still on it now? Why or why not?
I am, with the obvious username. I mostly only post in /r/flashlight now, as it’s the most active community anywhere online for that niche interest.
Remember to double-space your answer in a 12-point font.
I have a low-6-digit Slashdot account, and I was user 480 on the Minecraft bukkit forum lol
I had a sub-5k Slashdot account. As I recall. Always found it weird how people made a big deal out of low ID users, but I swear nobody ever gave a damn about me.
I had the same for fark.
There’s a blast from the past! Thanks for the reminder. I have a 5-digit user ID account, and I just checked to find out that it’s still active. I probably hadn’t logged in for about 15 years, and it still has an email address that went away 25 years ago.
I worked with Linus Torvalds, met Carl Sagan, and caught a cold from Danny Elfman.
I was first to crack a code that appeared at the end of an episode of the Adult Swim show 12 Oz. Mouse. They sent me a T-shirt for it.
I’ve made breakfast for LeBron James, Kevin Love and also Denzel Washington. I was the breakfast cook in a hotel they stayed at. LeBron was a dick, never even said thank you. Denzel and Kevin were some of the nicest humans I’ve ever met.
No matter how many records James sets, Jordan will always be considered the greatest. Maybe it makes him sullen, but he should have worked on being more charismatic instead.
Jordan is also notorious for being a major asshole
I fully agree, but somehow he’s a charismatic asshole
Whole heartedly agree with this. As an immigrant, back home, everyone knew Jordan, Michael Jackson and Mohammed Ali. I’ve even watched Ali’s fights on VHS tape (if that’s the correct term for the old video tapes) back in the 80s when I was a little kid. I did the same with Jordan’s games later on. I’ve listened to Jackson songs and danced (horribly) with them (to them?). In my country now, hardly anyone knows James, or any of the new generation.
I wrote for 7 or 8 books of a popular role playing game. Won an industry award at GenCon for one of them.
Now, that’s something I can definitely appreciate. Thank you! 🥰🖖🏼
I took a picture that appeared in a Nintendo Power.
I always tried to get pictures of my end screens so I could send them in. Never actually mailed one, I don’t think.
I spilled Diet Coke on Ann Coulter.
Good.
