Do you ever come up with genius ("genius") ideas for joke domains to unsettle/embarrass people when you tell them your email?

like, GiantHairyNipplemonsters.com..

Or maybe better, the domain for beer brewed especially for gamers.. Game Ale.

"... that was.. luthis at.. gaymail.. .com???"

"Exactly, luthis@gameale.com."

".. g a y..m a i l?"

"What?? No! GAME ALE dot com!"

Just the random shit that comes into my brain when I walk without other stimulus.. surely I'm not the only one.

  • Not me, but I like dot@dotat.at

    https://dotat.at/

    • Oh man, that one is excellent!

    • I worked an ISP in the nineties and a coworker registered atdot.com, ran a home server for it with sendmail, and assigned himself the dotat username. He would tell people over the phone that his email was "dot at at at dot dot com". This was when you had to contact InterNIC directly to register a domain.

      Could be the same guy for all I know.

      Digression: I registered mouse.net in ~1996 back when TLD categories were being enforced. But the NIC bungled the renewal and by the time I proved it to them it had been snagged by a Korean company. NIC threw their hands up because no one there spoke Korean. I think Altavista's Babelfish existed then but I don't remember if it supported Korean.

  • For a while, I had butt.online as domain. You can also use subdomains like sexy.butt.online or licks.butt.online or fucks.butt.online... endless buttibilities. I set up my.wife@has.a.big.butt.online if someone wanted her email, butt that backfired...

  • I pay like $10/yr to keep the@feeltra.in even though I never actually use it.

    Still waiting for the .train TLD to get made. There is .car, .bike, .taxi, .boats, and even .motorcycles but apparently nobody uses trains.

  • Yeah, I can imagine sh.itjust.works admin giving out his email...

  • I have my firstname@lastname.email for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.

    I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have anon@ymous.tld as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn't say which tld is that it's not one which allows whois masking so it's really not anonymous at all...

  • corn.com is supposedly for sale. My partner thought I was crazy for submitting an inquiry to buy it, but GoDaddy never responded :( There went my dreams of being captaincorny@corn.com or maybe cornman@corn.com.

    Oh well, they probably wanted thousands of dollars anyway. All the 4-character .coms likely got squatted ages ago.
