You know an adult can just get a domain name and thus get a different email address. Like h4ds3x@yomamas.house
$
It's cheaper than what at least I thought before getting one, but yeah.
Mine is the most original ever: 😐
[First Name][Last Name] at Gmail and Yahoo.
Got the yahoo when they first started offering them, and the Gmail when it was invite only.
Yahoo for 90% of my online correspondence. Gmail for mostly professional / work related stuff.
[First Name][Last Name]@gmail.com is original. And also probably valid.

I had to apply to get an invite for gmail back in 03. Still got it. This tracks.
Oh I ended up with hundreds of invites! Takes me back
Weird that that’s a whole generation ago

A couple of years ago, I was applying for a work visa, and they needed my college transcripts. Despite matriculating in 19somethingsomethingoldold, my class was one of the first to use an online system that was able to be migrated into multiple subsequent generations of registrar systems, so they needed to have my school email ID, which I hadn't thought about eleventymilliongetoffmylawn years, so THAT meant placing a call to campus IT, and providing enough personal information for them to look it up.
And that, my online friends, is when you are forced to viscerally confront that you were a deeply cringe knowitall who spent way too much time thinking your personality flaws were edgy superpowers and that knowing the name of a random reference in a Bertrand Russell book you barely understood proved how smart you were.
I had some silly ones when I was younger, but I also made one that's .@.com which I'm using to this day. The only problem is that from time to time I get emails seemingly addressed to the fella using the same address, but without the dot between the names.
Many services including Gmail silently ignore periods in localparts, so foo.bar and foobar are the same address.
I know, but in my case it's like the opposite - i.e. someone sending a mail to firstnamelastname and me (firstname.lastname) receiving it as well (or instead, I don't know).
Weirdly I'm thankful someone stole and changed my password to dbzboy19@hotmail.com when I was in high school. It prompted me to generate a new, more respectable, email address. Otherwise this would be a pretty unfortunate reality for me.
That being said, fuck that guy. feel free to send that email spam and gross images on my behalf to fill up their storage.
I am still using an abstraction of my first ever Geocities password in some older accounts that I haven’t scrambled yet. Password requirements were basically nil back last century, it’s important to remember.
I still remember my icq number and password. I just double checked to see if I took my bp meds this evening
i changed my provider in recent jears but still kept the typo from my old one
I have an email address that's kind of tricky to read aloud. As decades went on, it's less and less funny, to be frank.
Luckily the service also gave me a firstname dot lastname type alias. I've lately been giving it out if I have to say it over the phone or something. ...Also I guess it looks more professional in CVs or something. (...still annoys me a bit because it's my boring name and I'm a trans girl, though.)
Fuzzypuppy13 is ready to hit the job boards!!
Funny... half the platforms I had email addresses are gone. How'd she manage to find the one that survived.?
