I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I vote for lemmurs instead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like the animal: lemur?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep but with two mm to differentiate. Who doesn't want to be associated with such cute creatures?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Or maybe Lemmers?

And subs could just be called Lemms?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmyheads?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like lemmings.

Why not? Can you explain why you don't like the name?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

because it sounds redditarded

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmings are considered dumb followers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, where did you hear that?

Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.
