If you were referred to with an Epithet, what would it be?
The Great, The Lionheart, Our Lady of the Grackles, Olaf the Holy, Athena Glaukopis (grey-eyed), Emperor Youngzheng (meaning The Just/Justified), Amenhotep the Magnificent, Solomon the Wise, Much-Enduring Odysseus, The King of Pop, The Sultan of Swat, the Iron Lady, and perhaps for someone, Couch Potato are all epithets. For folks unfamiliar with the term, an epithet is a descriptive word or phrase that accompanies or replaces the name of a person. (Before surnames this was often used too just not passed down, with some of the occupational ones "the Smith" turning into surnames "Smith"
Sometimes it's used to distinguish Charles the Fat from Charles the Bald, or just to tell people you think they're Great (or Terrible), but it wouldn't be the same as just calling Charles bald today, it's how you actually refer to him. Homer used it a lot, and so did Shakespeare. And it has continued through the present with Oz the Great and Powerful, The Man of Steel, and King James.
So, my fellow Tildis, if you were to have one, what would be your epithet? Feel free to choose one that you want or share what you think others would call you. Or ask for others to give you an appellation directly if you so desire!
"Works On My Machine".

It seems all I work on these days is things inherited from other teams, with interesting design choices and no documentation.
I have this theory that there is a fundamental property of every human being where technology either Works or Does Not Work for that person. People for whom technology Works become engineers. People for whom technology Does Not Work become QA testers (or users, which is the same thing but unpaid).
This pretty much explains about 99% of people's relationships with technology.
It's a running joke in my family that pieces of electronics know to fear me, and that my simply looking over towards them is often enough to make them suddenly decide to behave. How else to explain how often someone calls me over for help and then suddenly can't reproduce their problem?
Maybe I should be "...the Tech Tamer."
(I've sometimes wondered about the whole magic vs. science thing; does this mean I'm a walking anti-magic field?)
Want an honest answer to that question? Or will you keep the Tech Tamer moniker intact?
As another Tech Tamer, I’d like to know lol. I can’t count the number of times over the years where I’ve walked over to someone’s desk to look at their computer and everything works on the first try for me.
There's three reasons:
Trying it again isn't much different from reboot->retry. Techmancers already do this with every error, so a visual demonstration by a user amounts to almost the same thing. They're doing the steps again after all.
But the real reason is that since you're watching, the user now more consciously goes through the required steps and this time actually clicks the appropriate menus and presses the correct buttons. I wouldn't say they're now reading, god save us all the moment that happens, but they're going through it more slowly to demonstrate the error which causes them to do the steps in the correct order preventing the error from happening at all. When you're called over and the problem is suddenly gone? I can almost guarantee it was a user error and not software related.
In the cases it was software related.. yeah, sometimes it really is just magic.
I think I can keep the Tech Tamer moniker intact either way. I'm currently reading through Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series, and I think this applies:
But yeah, I'm reminded of an anecdote from Jon Bentley's Programming Pearls:
...
That said, my immediate family is savvy enough to know that I'll usually ask if they've first tried going through the steps slowly and carefully, tried restarting the app, or tried rebooting. It's amusing how often things will suddenly start working once I show up, even then. (And I've seen this for weird things like a temporarily lost wi-fi connection.)
My advisor in grad school could crash a computer just by standing near it. I always tried to avoid taking my laptop to meetings with him.
See I feel that these things are given by others. I don't feel right assigning one to myself, and if I did it would be something silly like "the absent minded".
Edit: @asinine you know me best. I'd brand you as "the fiery one".
That's very kind of you! I try when I can to spread a bit of happiness in an otherwise dreary world.
Asking friends/family/whomever and sharing is valid too, if you like!
I'd be happy to see what others here on tildes have to say!
My wife says I'd be "the deaf"
It's kinda paradox she would call you "The deaf" and you knowing that... And actually writing here that she says it.
My hearing is going and I should get hearing aids - I'm not actively deaf but I'm getting there.
Sorry about that. I thought about is as a joke - many wives think their husbands are deaf...
I'm flattered!
I'd give you ... "the understanding".
Not necessarily an epithet, but my title in my roommate's copy of Switch Sports has been Alleged Human for the last couple of years.

Silver tongue(d) is a great one. I don't think you need to lean into the lying part, especially since it's not part that feels honest to you.
I've had two given to me in the past, "The Red" and "The Viking". Back in the day I was a burly man with reddish hair and lengthy reddish hair and beard. Now if we were to update given the passage of time, maybe "The Grey"? It was good enough for Gandalf, it's good enough for me.
...Pickles.
TaylorSwift'sPickles, the Pickles? Or do you just mean your real name! (Appreciate it either way!)
Semi-joking of course, but there've actually been plenty of cases where I "signed" something here (especially in the MC server, but also in PMs) as "Tay Pickles", and pretty much everyone in here calls me "Pickles" (Or alternatively, "Teaspoon" (T.S.P.)), so it kind of matches - Tay of the Pickles :P
Outside the context of my username, but about me in general... I don't know, honestly, but I'd be interested to hear what @creesch and @Nankeru would give me. I feel these are the two Tilderiños that know me better than any other Tilderiño whom I haven't met IRL.
Tbh, never thought to assign some other form of epithet. The randomness of calling someone a pickled cucumber already fits you fairly well. If I had to get creative... "The sometimes slightly unhinged but in a friendly way" would be it ;)
Now I am curious what your answer is when asked about me.
The Direct, of course ;)
Might as well call me "the Dutch" then :P
I dub thee Pickles the Cultmaker
It's like being the freshmaker, but with cults instead of breath mints.
And I was wondering how soon MC server lore would show up in this thread :P
Is the MC server actually just a cult? That's what I'm getting here
Well, I may have incidentally led and created a creesch-worshipping cult, holy text included, where clones of myself are the only members, and I may have inadvertently joined a commune of catgirls... But I am completely innocent.
It's the haters that are making up lies, I tell you.
And this folks, is where the slightly unhinged part is demonstrated clearly ;)
unhinged? Surely we've all accidentally formed a cult, written its holy scriptures, and joined a commune of chimeras! These are all very relatable experiences!
Finally someone understands me!
( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
Sounds like a wonderful time
And here I was trying to not confuse people by including MC server lore :P

Can I ask how you got into coffee roasting? I’m a self proclaimed coffee snob and (home) roasting is something I’ve been interested in potentially picking up as a hobby (like my other hobbies, probably expensive and quickly abandoned…). I know hobby roasting would be very different than professionally roasting, but I’m still intrigued.
I'm a coffee roaster that started as a home roaster, worked professionally at a local shop roasting all the beans for 4 stores and 2 other businesses, and now back to being a home roaster.
Background
I started roasting just after high school, I was/am a coffee snob, so when I learned about roasting I had to try it. I made my first machine out of the base and stir arm of a Stir Crazy popcorn popper and a Galloping Gourmet turbo oven, which is a pretty common and called the Turbo Crazy. I used that machine from probably 2013-2018/9 when it fell and broke. Its a fantastic cheap roaster if you are up to a little diy, it can roast around a pound and the stir arm is easy to reinforce and does a good job getting an even roast. I ended up selling beans to around a dozen friends for a while and roasted as a side gig for a while.
I roasted professionally for 2 years and it was really cool working with 'proper' roasters that could track data, log it, and give you fancy graphs. It was good working here because it gave me experience in the hard numbers and the mathamatical side of roasting where before I was all 'feel', going by timer, first cracks, and vibes. I left the job because of a bad owner, and Im back to home roasting.
Now to really answer your questions,
Home roasting is a great hobby for a coffee snob if you are obsessive and constantly working on your cup. When roasting for yourself you can experiment, this batch I'll roast an extra 30sec, or 5°f and really fine tune 'your' perfect cup. The flip side is that there will be lots of experimental batches that are not the best, but not worth wasting. If you like a consistent cup, or are really not into spending a lot of effort than this is probably a hobby to pass on. Something else to consider is that you have to take time to roast consistently, I'm roasting every few days for my mom and me, about 10 min for 110g or ~1/4 pound of coffee. Bigger machines roast more, but also are usually more expensive and have a longer roast time, the professional roaster did ~18 pounds in 15-25 minutes a batch.
So you like to experiment and have some free time to take on a new hobby, where can you start?
I started on my Frankenroaster, but I can't necessarily recommend it. The heating unit is a convection oven, so the only control you have over your roast is the oven heat and time. I've seen people online mod into really cool roasters, but unless that's what you are really into I'd recommend getting a prebuilt unit, home roasting has gotten more popular and there is way nicer roasters than when I got started.
I currently am using a Freshroast I got for a Christmas gift. Its a neat roaster that blows the hot air to roast the beans and stir them. It gives you a good amount of control with a power and fan knobs, and a thermometer to tell you the current heat. Its a good machine and I get consistent roasts, I've even recommended it to a irl friend to get into roasting. My negative is it was a gift and I got the smaller model, the SR540, so I can only roast 130g at a time for around 110g of coffee. Besides being straight up bigger the SR800 also has an expansion tube for larger and more consistent roasts. If you go this route get the SR800.
For other machines, at the shop we used a Gene Cafe CBR-101 to sample and dial in how to roast the beans, I roasts around half a pound. We used it as a 'set and forget' machine so if you don't like to fiddle this may be for you. I was going to get the Behmor 1600+ refurbished until I got the Freshroast for Christmas, which is like a microwave with rotating cylinders and can roast around a pound. I can't recommend it for a first machine, but the Aillio Bullet R1 V2 is the top of the line home roaster, and its on my list for if I win the lottery.
Finally, beans.
I used to get my green beans from https://happymugcoffee.com/, but my local shop still lets me buy green beans, and Brazil Cerrado for I think $1.90 a pound is hard to beat. My preferred bean is a natural Ethiopian with a light roast, and I just checked HappyMugs has the Guji lot that is one of my favorites, for $8.50, which really isn't bad.
If this is something you are interested in, you can ask me any questions or If you get a roaster I can give you some pointers, or an least a good place to start. Sorry for the long reply, I get excited to nerd out over my hobbies.
Thank you so much for this comment! A great breakdown. I will likely have to put it off for a few years cause not sure my wife (or apartment complex) would be too happy with me trying to roast beans in the apartment. Might have to wait for a house and a garage. Though, a freshroast looks like it might be apartment friendly enough, so I’ll have to look into that more!
I feel like that’s a common refrain among coffee people. We all have at least one of three ridiculously expensive, but very neat, gadgets that draws our fancy.
I knew I'd forget something, the smell is definitely something to consider. I live in the suburbs, so its more feasible for me to do it in the garage or outside, but it still smells up the block. When my sister was in school she could immediately smell if I roasted coffee that day when she got off the bus about a block away.
Its also not the best to breath in, most professional roasters have an exhaust system so its not blowing right in your face. I made a cheap setup for the Freshroast by making a frame for a 4" duct fan than just ran in out the woodshop window.
Unfortunately coffee isn't my worst hobby for the 'lottery list', there is only the roaster and a grinder, but if I had the money and the time I would have so many music instruments.
I taught myself home roasting about 20 years ago. I got a little Fresh Roast machine from Sweet Maria's and scoured the diy roasting forums to learn the basics. I eventually upgraded to heat gun/dog bowl, then to heat gun/bread machine. I knew I was onto something when I compared what I was doing to my local big roaster and they were on par with each other. I had the same green as them. Fast-forward some years and I was working as a barista at a roastery. I strong-armed my way into roasting there, and now I've been the lead roaster at my current place. It's a cool origin story to look back on.
Fortunately I'm still able to do what I would consider hobby roasting at work with our Ailio Bullet 1kg. Sweet Maria's is your place to look if you want to explore the hobby. You can also DM me for any questions.

I wouldn't object to being given a epithet. If nobody replies I'll gladly go by Hamster The Epithetless, which amuses me for how self-contradicting is.
Best I can do is Hamster the "*****"
hunter2 ?
(I'm old.)
so old
<Cthon98> hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars
<Cthon98> ********* see!
<AzureDiamond> hunter2
<AzureDiamond> doesnt look like stars to me
<Cthon98> <AzureDiamond> *******
<Cthon98> thats what I see
<AzureDiamond> oh, really?
<Cthon98> Absolutely
<AzureDiamond> you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
<AzureDiamond> haha, does that look funny to you?
<Cthon98> lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as *******
<AzureDiamond> thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that
<Cthon98> yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
<AzureDiamond> awesome!
<AzureDiamond> wait, how do you know my pw?
<Cthon98> er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw
<AzureDiamond> oh, ok.
It's a nod to a comment Hamster made which nicely plays along with the epithetless theme.
I actually caught that. It just made me think of a very old Internet joke
I understood the hunter2 reference, but mistook it for you looking for meaning instead of making a joke. I guess I'm old too, I've always taken it for granted that everyone knew about hunter2
Bash has been gone for a year or two? It was up and down before that. Kids these days don't know what they've missed.
Two years is about right. There's a few archives floating around. For today's lucky 10000: https://bashforever.com/?top
It's funny to think that bash was where I spent time on the Internet at one point. If I needed a brain break, bash. I would use vim to pull in a page and read it in a side panel next to my code.
haha, I wasn't sure if it was that or another one in the thread. Glad to know it's the rating and not potentially a swear :)
One of my tabletop groups refer to me as "the All Knowing" because I seem to somewhat consistently make the objectively correct decision when we all know I don't have the information to do so. The GM is still a little salty two and a half years later about the end of a campaign where everything was about to go extremely bad for us, the GM asked me a seemingly unrelated question about my character's personality, and I answered with complete surety and ended up nullifying all the bad stuff that was about to happen. Oops? In my defense, I thought my answer was bad for us, not that they believe me...
If I were given a more universal epithet though, it would probably be some variation of "the Silent" considering hardly talk and not that infrequently surprise people when walking up behind them. I even try to announce my presence with a greeting when entering a room, but somehow that still surprises people.
My one of my TTRPG players said I "Can improvise a universe on the spot. Can't plan a sandwich in a week."
Pretty much sums up most things in my life.
Oh that was quite real
Yeh, I sort of need to remind myself that this is how I get creative work done and I need to work around it. But sucks that I never thought to unpack the underlying reasons for this sort of performance at school, uni and eventually work. It took working for one of my old players last year and they needed to take me aside to ask if I was struggling to get meds during the shortage.
i'm just kibty
@mycketforvirrad how will I keep track of all my "not a fae trick" posts if you remove the tag?!
I protest. Guards? GUARDS??
I feel like this should likely be tagged "fae". Maybe "tricks.fae" because honestly it does seem tricksy.
It was clearly tagged "not a fae trick" to avoid any confusion
Oooh, I'm sorry, yes, DefinitelyNotAFae, you're very likely not doing some kind of trick. Silly me! My apologies. By the way I hope it's okay that I'm holding this iron nail while I'm apologizing and that it is not causing undue distress.
Why of course it's fine that you're holding whatever you want. The internet is convenient for so many things including physical distance from any.... allergens.
Be careful you don't stab yourself with that, one should always be safe with sharp and dangerous objects

I rarely make use of tags, but when I do post something the one thing that annoys me about the system is when tags get removed. Titles being adjusted for consistent casing I get, tags being added I get, tags being combined I also get. Removal of tags just irk me. Then again, I promptly forgot about it as I don't actually use them (except to filter out one or two things) only to remember my annoyance when it comes up again.
That memory issue does feel like the sort of trickery the fae folk would be responsible for though...
If I knew any, I'd pass the concern along ⊹₊⟡⋆

lol there is that, my feathered sibling.
A little too long, but I've been called "the dumbest smart guy you'll ever meet" and I enjoy it, hah.
Tried to look this up but couldn't find it :(
Wow, seeing a lot of kindred spirits in this thread. Like many here, I'm one of those "inch deep, mile wide" collectors of information. Which is to say I know a lot about a little, but mostly I know a little about a lot.
That being said, I've been called "the Dictionary" and "the Professor" by friends and family alike, though more as a nickname than as an epithet.
I think a more accurate epithet (if I could pick one) would be "[name] Who-Has-Heard-of-That"
The Connector or The Looker-Upper.
For the first, one of my friends says that I am a connector personality. I get people together and make the effort for all of us to meet. Bit strange since I'm quite antisocial but for certain friends, I would go the extra mile.
For the latter, I have a habit of looking up stuff and explaining while I'm chatting with people (usually when we're having a group call though). Someone will start talking about a random topic and they'll reach a point where they don't know anymore so I'll go ahead and finish it off to resolve the topic. It's become a bit of an in-joke.

How would you pronounce it?
Like that
Ah very interesting
I think I would like (to be)
"something" (or nothing)
or one if my friends has been saying that am not a real human so the something I think is quite fitting :3
Alright folks, Pickles yapping time~!
I don't know how many people in this thread will really get it, but honestly, valid as fuck.
Personally, not only had I been semi-jokingly called a "robot" or "alien" by acquaintances throughout my life (e.g. classmates, coworkers, etc.) due to being very obviously autistic, to the point I positively internalised and reclaimed those labels as something actually great about myself, but also, this was my experience of "gender" until my egg finally cracked.
As some folks here know, for basically my entire life I was considering myself "agender" (before even knowing "agender" is a term used by other folks too) until my "egg"
shatteredfucking exploded into a supernova last year and I realised I was a trans woman the whole time & I was bottling up & repressing all my femininity, all my womanhood, and nearly any other fem-aligned thing or thought about myself for decades.I mean, hey, you'd think I'd have realised 10 years ago when I was sending a message to my now-partner, saying "I wish I could change literally everything about me & all my cells and be born a woman. I literally wanna die and be reborn into the right body", huh? Well, nope, turns out everyone but me knew it :P.
Obviously, just to be on the clear: every non-binary person is fuckin' valid as fuck - it just that iy wasn't who I truly was :)
Until then, my day-to-day experience of my self and my gender was... Not far from what you described in that sentence. Me, my body, my consciousness, my gender, I did not experience as something "human", but as some something a lot more abstract, alien, Lovecraftian, or however else someone could describe it. This "feeling", this experience as a whole, it's hard to put into words, but had absolutely been a kind of shared experience between my then-self & all my non-binary friends.
So. I... honestly felt that. I know how it feels, though your reasoning for it may (or may not) be vastly different to mine, and I do not think it is "dehumanising" in a negative way unless intended as such.
I think my friend just calls me unreal cause I had basically no childhood (haven't seen or mostly can't relate to childhood stuff like movies or tv shows - never saw SpongeBob or any Disney movie and so on).
Plus he often says am not a real person because how I react to things (for example there was thunder and I got really anxious / scared and he jus jokingly said am a cartoon character).
Like all this stuff beeing said is like lighthearted and not meant in a bad way.
Also just in general don't know how I feel or I can't describe it. Also with the whole gender topic it's also quite complicated for me to know really what I am since it feels like it chamges with mood or day to day.
So yaaaa
(just wanted to clarify-sry about the yapping)
Ah, yeah, that also makes a lot of sense. Having an a very unusual childhood (or legitimately no childhood at all, like me - long story) is also definitely a factor that can differentiate you from your peers or make you feel alienated (or worse)
That's not to say that cartoons and disney movies are what childhood is or means, but I take it there's a probably an external reason that caused that as a result?
The lightning thing you mentioned does give me the vibes that it's related to the above as well, but only you know if this is true or just coincidental.
Absolutely valid. Thoughts and feelings can get so complex that putting them into words is like reducing them to 1% of themselves even if you write a whole book about it.
I mean, in essence, labels are labels. Like with putting any other thoughts of feelings into words, sometimes no label feels "truly right", and that's fine. That said, I hope you'll keep experimenting and find out what "vibe" makes you the happiest with yourself. Naturally, it can take a lot of time to figure it out (I mean, look at how I was clowning myself for decades when the real answer was millimetres away from my face) and that's absolutely fine.
But, even what you truly feel is something that changes day to day - that's absolutely valid too. When I was talking to one of my best "internet friends" about my transition this year, they ended up realising they're most likely genderfluid, and they had never even questioned their gender before. And as hard as it may be to explain it to the average Joe, it's a real way many people experience [their] gender.
Don't think about it - I live for yapping ;) I'm on tildes after all...

The Elite Rootless Globalist.
I mean, I'd love to be one of the Secret Masters. I'd direct elections, manipulate currencies, point weather-controlling Giant Space Lasers, spread pandemics and shoot people up with microchips, and have all kinds of fun mind-control toys. I can simultaneously promote communism and sit atop the banking system, or support Israel and Islamic terrorist attacks.
I won't belabor the point further, but not all epithets are healthy to own these days.
No, they never were, but I don't understand why you'd intentionally choose that one given its antisemitism? Is that what you want? Or just the sadness of it being one forced upon you?
You have my permission for whatever small amount it's worth, to choose your own appellation and your own destiny. Fuck them.
It was a 2:00 a.m. insomnia thought... why not take ownership of the power of a nasty epithet, as other outgroups have done? It's not the worst racist thing that's been said to my face or propagated in public.
Then I think about the true monsters, the ones who've decided to become what they're accused of, and reenact or exceed every brutality they and others like them have suffered.
And now, wearing my fun-governor hat, it's become apparent to me that epithets, self-chosen or otherwise, are social stack ranking. They're almost always mocking, othering, dehumanizing, or naked power plays intended to intimidate.
So for my real epithet choice, I just want to be called "The Human", a label that describes the contents without setting sub- or superhuman expectations.
I don't think epithets are always that, or have to be, but they can absolutely be used that way. I didn't get empowerment and reclamation from your original post, so I'm sorry for misreading you.
"the Chaotic"...

I guess I am late to the party, but, (don't hate me for this) I asked ChatGPT what it would give me based on what it knows about me and why:
Architect of Systems and Soil
"You deconstruct and reconstruct complex systems—technical, bureaucratic, electrical—with precision and autonomy. You root out inefficiencies in HR architecture, rewiring workflows, integrations, and even your physical home. You plant, engineer, and document with the same discipline, from ServiceNow scripts to tomato seedlings. You operate at the junction of logic and labor. The epithet fuses both domains: synthetic and organic, digital and dirtbound."
