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

    The internet first went online in 1983.

    I may have t-shirts older than OP.

      Tbf, having a shirt for over 40 years and not have it completely disintegrate is pretty impressive!

      But yeah, for a minor history buff, I’m TERRIBLE with dates 😂

        My modern clothes get shredded, but I have a pair of pants handed down from 1967 that still hold up today. Even after being pounded into concrete 12 hours a day (only 4 days a week). I wish I had more.
