I just keep seeing this mouse everywhere, but it would make sense if it was a lemming. It’s a lemming, right? Where does the name Lemmy come from anyways?
The GitHub about page (below) lists 4 reasons why it’s called Lemmy:
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
ha! I love that it’s a nod to motorhead. I had no idea, but thas what I thought about when I went to lemmy
Get all that out of here. My headcanon would always be this:
Ah so it’s a mix of things but also lemmings. They travel in groups and disperse from time to time so it makes for an appropriate mascot.
With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.
undefined> The furry rodents
I’ll pick that one, as it’s the cutest. ;)
Lets gnaw away the Reddit market share, 1 lemming at a time. (or form a lemming train out of there)
I figured it was just his name. He looks like a Lemmy to me.
Looks like a mouse to me too. Not like a lemming at all. So it must be a mouse called Lemmy.
It’s a Jerboa.
