Or change document.querySelectorAll('.hnuser') at the beginning to document.querySelectorAll('.hnuser, #me') so it will also show up beside your name when logged in at the top.

Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Maurice

I'll add that this will work on your profile as well - basically anywhere with an anchor to "news.ycombinator.com/user?id=blahblahblah"

Thanks. If you input the code multiple times it shows you a number of avatars equal to the number of times you input the code.

I am interested to see what my avatar looks like ;) edit: aha, squid!

I did something similar to this in Racket to generate unique filetype icons for unknown files. If you're careful with your defaults it can work really well.

Mine is like a sad face with a big weird nose

Checking.. huh, looks very different from most other generated avatars.. almost inverted from the look most of them have.

I don't actually like my avatar very much, lol.

I can't decide whether it's a moustache and glasses or a bikini.

So many comments on this thread.

edit: I AM THE CACTUS MAN

I like the idea, hope someone makes a userscript. Edit: my yellow avatar was a bit hard to see, though

Mysterious person in a hat and trench coat.

Perfect.

Wish I was smart enough to do this

I know I can modify the query, but I'm gonna join the train :) EDIT: A happy knight!

Mine seems to be a green… trident of some kind, maybe? I don’t even know what that is.

Let's see what I got

Edit: aha, helicopter

I hope mine's purple. Huh, it's a like a pale ceiling death laser.

Naboo fighter checking in.

Hey look, I got a funnel.

Test post please ignore!

Thanks! Wanting to see what mine would look like. :)

Mine looks like a chest or robot cyclops, I like it.

nobody would dare to do this if HN had notifications

I love this <3

I'm just here so I don't get fined

I'm guessing mine is orange in color!!

Bippity boppity this avatar is my property

Testing mine

Edit: a poker face with a strange hat, not bad

Thanks, I felt bad about spamming here.

I wonder what mine will end up being

please be good... edit: its a turnip

FOMO Nothing to see here move along

I hope mine is a spirit animal :-)

Can I see mine please? Yes I can.
