As long as they find their own pocket rocks, I think we're peachy.

They better like pineapple

I'd be in the center of an uproar.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I suppose it's not so bad spawning a few minor Riots.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I got mine from my grandfather anyway. Although I won't be having any kids to pass it on.

[–] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They probably couldn’t be happier, with a deep sigh of relief, seeing as how most of the others would look.

I imagine they would have a multitude of differing perspectives on it.

Do they get all my usernames, or just the one on Lemmy?

On the upside, I think this username wouldn't be hard to spell out for people. There's no downside, mine is a perfect username.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

They would get tired of explaining to everyone that it's not a Runescape reference.

[–] Pinkie_Toe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Meh. It's no biggie.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Hopefully they inherit the psychopomp job too and it is a career resilient to AI and self-driving cars. If Waymo works in the Underworld, they will be looking for new career options like every other Z and younger.

If they want the job, of course. I'm not one of those old school escorts of the dead that insists the kids follow in parents' footsteps.

They will carry the greatest name one could carry. Do you know who I am.

If my kids are weebs with poor eyesight, it can serve as their nickname, I guess. Otherwise, they can pretend it's just an uncommon surname.

They cannot draw then, rip

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Probably kinda normal tbh

[–] porksnort@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

If I were rich enough, my kids wouldn’t care. Money brings all the boys to the yard.

That’s Mr. Porksnort to you, peasant.

Since I am not rich enough to leave an inheritance, my kids will just hate me the usual amount.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Probably not too much

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

As long as they don't become Swedish and take a culinary career they should be fine.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I was born too early. I reckon my name will fit right in down the line
