Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Either programming or working on electronics projects or procrastinating on Matrix, Reddit, HN, or Lemmy. Being on Lemmy implies procrastinating on all those things, therefore "nothacking". (Seems to be internet unique too, but not sure due to abundance of people using #nothacking in hashtags)

Between liking cats, favoring the colors purple and blue, and enjoying humor based on twisted logic, choosing "Cheshire Cat" as namesake seemed obvious.

While I don’t know what exactly the future will hold for me, I know there is at least one constant when perusing Lemmy

I've seen several people with usernames that aren't actual words, and I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to follow along and come up with a cool non-word name myself. Forgot how I came up with "kworpy"
