Today I got called out on the internet for wearing a mask because I go as Beko _Pharm_ 😷.
I laughed hard, shared this insight with my peer group and watched their amused responses trickle in. Now that I’m found out I can probably tell you all.
Here writes the Big “beko” Pharm (or the B.B.P. – someone add me to Wikipedia already!). And what my Murican friends probably don’t know: “beko” is not only a [legit] name with all sorts of fun meanings (according to the interwebz) but also the brand of an electronics company mostly known for their washing machines. Imagine how happy I was about that when I found out!
Anyway, @RobinSohn@chaos.social seized the opportunity and created a highly professional new profile picture for me – generously released as CC-0 – a photo featuring a washing machine and an ampulla typically used for medicine.
And I love every bit of it – especially the “ProSmartInverter” 🧠
So there you have it. Buy masks and washing machines. For every sale on one of those items I get 0 dot 00 and zero 💵
Make me rich! 🤑
Random trivia: I added the “Pharm” to not be mistaken with e.g. said electronics company – how the hell was I supposed to know that a pandemic would be next on the agenda???
@RobinSohn @beko Here comes Beko “Big” Pharm, P.S.I. !

@RobinSohn @beko So you added “Pharm” to lift ambiguity, but why “Pharm” specifically? You could have gone with “Sword” and it would have worked as disambiguation as well? Beko Sword has got a nice feel to it.
