i cant say or even think the word "interesting" by itself anymore without thinking it in the exact same tone of voice as Gobo Fraggle in this YTP. i also think of the part where he goes "I'm tired of hearin' about it !" when ever people on tumblr will not stop posting about some thing annoying. thank you @elliespectacular

Curious, why did you drop the "1" from DaThings?

DaThings began as an alias in a Homestar Runner fan community (a reference to the Strong Bad Email "garage sale") in the mid-late aughts, and when it was time to make a YouTube channel I chose to just keep the same handle. There was someone else using DaThings on YouTube so I went with DaThings1 because I had heard somewhere that adding a 1 was a thing you could do if someone claims the username you want.

The 1 was out of necessity I guess? Or maybe stubbornness because I didn't feel like thinking up a different name? Either way it wasn't an important part of The Brand, it made the username an unnecessary mouthful to say, it didn't have any significance to me, and it wasn't even what I wanted. A single alphanumeric character that felt like a burden at the worst of times, and at the best of times felt like nothing.

Eventually the other DaThings deactivated and Google made it so that your display name doesn't need to be the same as your handle. Around 2019 I figured that if I was going to drop the 1 I should do it quickly in order to minimize the number of people attached to it. So that's what I did. No regrets about it.
