So... everyone's cake day will be in the same month. Not sure if I have enough $$$ to get you all something.

has something like this already been posted? I tried searching, and I'm sure I don't have original thoughts.

There are no cake days, this isn’t Reddit. Don’t try to make it Reddit. Let it be it’s own thing.

- It is not Reddit, but Lemmy does show a cake next to the signing up date…

  We have to incorporate beans somehow.

- On Lemmy it is literally called cake day in your profile. Admittedly derivative, but I like cake so whatever.

- Make it lemmy or rodent-related. Happy jump off a cliff day?

  I’m not sure I want to be told “hey happy jump off a cliff day!”

- This is the way.

  Also a Reddit thing

Cake days were by far reddit's most unproductive and inane tradition, they should've died long ago. I will personally see to it that every person wishing or attempting to wish a happy cake day is verbally harassed until they delete their account.

- If I don’t see another “happy cake day” post again it’ll be too soon.

- I hope everyone wishes you a very happy cake day on your Lemmy cake day. Everyone deserves to be celebrated.

  We could even make it a monthly event instead of yearly! I'm so excited to see how often we can say it on this fresh new platform!!!1

  Ah yes, the most unproductive and inane of all of Reddit's traditions. Oh the hate subs? Pfft, nothing on those dastardly cake days. /s
  
  No but seriously, it's not a big deal. It's just an occasional comment about "happy cake day". Kinda hope you're being hyperbolic, but I've seen enough comments like this that I thought it worth replying to anyways.

  I legitimately think reddit would be better if everyone who used the phrase "cake day" was permanently IP banned from the service. And hate subs aren't really a reddit tradition, more a general Internet thing, but go off I guess. Also, fuck the S, it's the second most unproductive and inane reddit tradition

I joined Lemmy 3 years ago and my cake day is in... wait for it... June like the rest of you!

Can we all collectively agree to ignore this shit? I always hated cAkE dAy, I had no idea when mine was, but I would log off for the day after the first person said it to me.

At least offer the option to hide it on your profile(do we even have those here?).

Just make an annual donation to Lemmy or charity of choice.

- Charity is a great and noble idea, but I also find some real value in people giving me things, so I don't want us to completely rule that out so quickly?
  
  6
- Is it weird that I've already donated more to my Lemmy app and instance than I ever gave Reddit or my (paid) reddit apps?

  I did too but tbf Relay for Reddit didn't really have a sub model before

The cake is a lie.

Don't worry about possibly not being the first person to post this thought. I had the same thought when I saw the headline and then thought the same thing as the last line before reading the body. Against my better judgement, I thought I wouldn't be the first to post a comment on this, but I actually am! Nice to know there is a bottom of this hole.

- Hopefully this post can reoccur as a reminder that originality is organic; no one here accepts replays. Even if you feel exposed, be original.

You’ll have to just choose the first person to comment on this post.

- I see what you did there! ;)

That's okay, bro. Money isn't everything. I know I can hit you up when I need a new kidney.
