And now that we're not on reddit, can we call it something other than "cake day"? Sounds like straight up neckbearded fedora shit

[-] Falmarri@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Can we just not care? Commenting about cake day is the most annoying shit in the world. No one cares

[-] JoumanaKayrouz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

yeah, I'm good with that too.

Finally, someone says it. Always hated those endless "happy cake day" replies. Sometimes it was 20 or 30 replies on a single comment of nothing but that cake day nonsense.

Back when I was a prolific Reddit karma whore (years ago) it was the best way to get free points for doing absolutely nothing. No purpose otherwise.

Hopefully with time we move away from the redditisms. A lot of overlap at the moment. Let's be a new community. Not a mirror of them.

Cultures adapt and shift slowly, but I would love for us to embrace becoming something new instead of trying to recapture what once was.

OR... we could call it a cakeday too and rip this exclusive novelty from Reddit.

We're at war, gentlemen!

No we're not. We're just here now.

Um, I kind of liked it, though... Maybe an option to opt out? I'm fine with renaming it, too. I've always preferred key lime pie or tiramisu for my birthday.

DAE narwhal bacons at midnight?

Edit: shit. Shoulda read ahead and noticed others had already made that joke.
