Is there a reason lots of people have been changing their names?

A and N

I think this started with Helka Homba

Doorknob

@Downgoat says the guy who changed his name

Downgoat

@Doorknob that was in November...

PhiNotPi

You can put my name on the list that won't change.

And my avatar.

Downgoat

var reps = [
  ["Helka Homba", "Calvin's Hobbies"],
  ["Helka", "Calvin"],
  ["fItaJ.png", "qkXJy.png"],
  ["Aqua Tart", "quartata"],
  ["Don Musolini", "Luis Mendo"],
  ["DonMusolini", "LuisMendo"]
  ["AandN", "Adnan"],
  ["A and N", "Adnan"],
  ["Code Review", "the evil code reviewers"]
];

that's everyone who's changed their names right?

Coincidence that they are both Minecraft-related?

@Downgoat I'd request that Lynn remain Lynn, since that's now her preferred name.

I think you've got an error in your code

@AlexA. who was lynn again

I'm terrible at names

what's up

Downgoat

> undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RegExp')

ಠ_ಠ

I hate JavaScript

Maltysen

can you make a userscript with just the reps?

orlp

@Downgoat that's a tautology

I Go Best

1:23 AM

So it's a straight regex replace for the whole document? Quick, someone change their name to the.

Downgoat

@IGoBest D: please no

orlp

javascript implies self-loathing for using it and and hatred for the language

@IGoBest I'm going to rename myself Cloud

for people with cloud-to-butt installed

A and N

@orlp lol, you must be dutch

mınxomaτ

@AandN wat

orlp

@AandN why?

Alex A.

1:25 AM

@orlp Why not just name yourself Butt so that everyone can benefit, regardless of whether they have Cloud-to-Butt?

orlp

@AlexA. because my solution is subtle

you can get creative too

"Up the cloud" seems fairly innocent

I Go Best

So then it'd be replaced to orlp-to-butt? Ok I guess..

Alex A.

This gives a whole new meaning to the "Little Chandler is sad, draw him a cloud to cheer him up" challenge.

Maltysen

>_<

A and N

@orlp I had a test about those things and needed to distinguish them from pleonasms

not sure if that is commonly done in other countries

orlp

1:27 AM

@AandN please tell me that test contained "IBN nummer"?

:27869060 you tease

A and N

@orlp Hahaha, yes

didn't pass that test though

orlp

?!

isn't it pretty obvious

A and N

Well, that one is, but my Dutch teacher is kinda sadistic, so he picks the most difficult pleonasms and tautologies

Downgoat

@Maltysen Userscript to make everyone's username / avatar go back to normal

A and N

Half the class didn't pass the test :p

orlp

1:29 AM

test me

A and N

hmm

let's see

"Hij zal moeten proberen te voorkomen dat dat zich niet herhaalt."

stumbled on this one

El'endia Starman

I understand none of those words. :P

A and N

hahaha

Downgoat

@Quill nope, seems right :P

I Go Best

@Downgoat Soooo, I should just change my name to another anagram every day or so until you give up?

VoteToClose

1:33 AM

I implemented counting the text length of a number in Vitsy. :D Not a builtin.

Downgoat

@IGoBest oh no, please don't

El'endia Starman

I wonder if I should have at least some idea after like a year of practicing German or something. If the Germans name themselves Deutsch, which sounds exactly like Dutch does in English, there's got to be some commonality.

I Go Best

(as in, if people want to change their names, let them)

Downgoat

@IGoBest wait, you can only change yuor name every 30 days

I Go Best

Sure. There's no way around that.

RikerW

I didn't even realize @AandN changed his name.

VoteToClose

So... close!

RikerW

I though he was a new user. :P

@IGoBest oh god no

If it was N and A it'd just be backwards.

Maltysen

1:35 AM

^ after userscript

RikerW

wtf???

orlp

@AandN It's a pleonasm between "voorkomen" and "niet herhaalt", as making sure that something does not repeat implies that you have to prevent it from happening again, so the "voorkomen" is useless

VoteToClose

@Maltysen That looks bad.

I Go Best

Let's just say I have accounts on 55 SE sites, and you can change your name individually on all of them. Swap chat's parent user each day, etc.

RikerW

Oh @Downgoat you can't log in with the userscript on. :P

Sorry bud.

VoteToClose

1:35 AM

@IGoBest O.o

orlp

@AandN the reason it's not a tautology is because "voorkomen" does not tell you that it has happened in the past, so it's not saying the exact same
