If you change your date of birth on facebook you can have multiple birthdays in a year. Most people will not notice.

[–]iopuyrtq 27 points28 points ago

Step one to feeling like one of the cool kids.

[–]NickDerpkins 24 points25 points ago

My brother puts his facebook birthday on April Fools day and every year 90% of people fall for it

including a few family members from time to time

[–]Kr0nos 5 points6 points ago

Joke's on your brother. Your family doesn't love him enough to remember his bday. :(

[–]NickDerpkins 1 point2 points ago

In their defense I have a pretty shitty family with some low expectations outside the immediate household family.

[–]RageHippo 1 point2 points ago

...sometimes I can't even remember MY birthday, how the fuck am I supposed to remember the ones of my parents and my three brothers + friends? o_o

[–]Staankygirl 10 points11 points ago

facebook actually limits the amount of times you can change your bday. after the 3rd or 4th change it stays forever.

[–]HankSinatra 7 points8 points ago

This is what I do to friends that stay logged in on my computer. As soon as one person comments, I change it back. Confusion all around.

[–]lisabadcat 30 points31 points ago

I left my birthday out of my profile, because I would rather avoid having 0 birthday wishes.

[–]Expects 7 points8 points ago

Me too.

[–]Pxzib 3 points4 points ago

Always wondered why you can't just have the year you're born. It's way better to know than your birthday.

[–]Mason11987 1 point2 points ago

Because facebooks intention is social networking and wishing others a happy birthday and having others wish you one draws you to the site more, which is beneficial to those running the site.

[–]xevi 2 points3 points ago

I did this too, shows who you're real friends are. It's always funny when one person posts on your wall and then everyone else sees that post... chain reaction

[–]grgcucu 1 point2 points ago

that awkward moment when you realize you don't have any friends. :insertforeveralonehere:

[–]1stLtObvious 0 points1 point ago

Eh, I made peace with that years ago. I'm introverted anyways, so it all works out.

[–]aMillionLasers 1 point2 points ago

you really need more confidence, man.

[–]soccerfreak2332 1 point2 points ago

I have it so my birthday is on my profile, but it doesn't notify people, so if you look you can know, but if not then you won't.

[–]zarathustra2100 1 point2 points ago

didnt know you could do that, last few years i've just changed the date of my birthday to whatever day had gone past then change it back after my birthday had gone.. this will save me having to remember now. thank you!

The people bitching about it aren't the people doing it.....

[–]WarAndRuin 0 points1 point ago

And then people bitch about people bitching about people who bitch about reposts, everyone gets some hate!

[–]deja-vu-comment 46 points47 points ago

I'm one of those lazy people who ignore it all day and then make an update about how thankful I am later.

.

[–]zerstorer74 15 points16 points ago

I'm one of those lazy people who does not make an update about being thankful at all.

[–]Fliff42 1 point2 points ago

I'm one of those people who does it two days later when he remembers it was his birthday.

[–]JohnnyDollar 11 points12 points ago

This bot I like. I keep.

[–]Cathcart22 1 point2 points ago

SupermanV2 originally posted this. Don't we all hate him or something?

[–]Shubb 1 point2 points ago

i just hide my birthday date the week before then unhide it the day after, that way, no one will remember :)

[–]Biscuitaddict 12 points13 points ago

Let's thank everyone!

...Until you get bored, then just like the posts instead.

[–]RzK 11 points12 points ago

I want to beat this kids face with a brick

[–]TheDrunkBiologist 1 point2 points ago

Good, good. Let the hate flow through you.

[–]erryday_IAm_rustling -2 points-1 points ago

Kinda feel that way about the people who upvoted this.

[–]EvangelineTheodora 8 points9 points ago

This is how I feel! (It's my birthday today...)

[–]Expects 6 points7 points ago

Happybday

[–]EvangelineTheodora 1 point2 points ago

Thanks!

[–]freakinhippies 1 point2 points ago

And so it begins.

[–]flyingmigit8 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday, bro

[–]AlterBridgeFan 11 points12 points ago

I have 200 facebook friends and only 30 bothered telling me happy birthday.

[–]TimeTravelMishap 7 points8 points ago

Are you a guy or a girl?

[–]Chris952 0 points1 point ago

Guy

[–]MyOtherNameWasBetter 4 points5 points ago

Well if it makes you feel any better, I've only wished about two people happy birthday on Facebook, and it was girls I wanted to to show that I wanted to have sex with them. I know I am a sad, bad person.

[–]Chris952 2 points3 points ago

Isn't that the point of Facebook?

[–]AlterBridgeFan 0 points1 point ago

That feel.

Oh look a repost, of a repost, of repost.

[–]soundsidecolour 2 points3 points ago

every night is your birthday? Happy birthday

[–]baitingforyears 2 points3 points ago

The older I get, the less birthday wishes I receive. Mixed feelings.

[–]grgcucu 2 points3 points ago

i changed the privacy settings for my birthday...and no birthday wishes :'3

We are now accepting the fact that 90% of this generations' kids don't know how to take a screenshot.

Mac?

MAAAAC!

[–]teious 1 point2 points ago

I hate facebook messages from people that should call.

[–]mikeltru 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way, today is my birthday too.

[–]SarcasticEmbodyment 0 points1 point ago

Is it weird that I know this guy IRL?

[–]so_it_went 0 points1 point ago

WoooOOOoooOOOoo!!!! RELEVANCE! its my birthday.

[–]Staankygirl 0 points1 point ago

my birthday was on wednesday, its crazy how excited I was to get birthday messages and posts from people I havent heard from in years. What did I do before facebook?

[–]Garret303 0 points1 point ago

Realize it didn't matter?

[–]bruce656 0 points1 point ago

As a fellow Sept. 29th birthdayer, I say to you: Happy Birthday.

[–]flyingmigit8 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday, bro

[–]bruce656 1 point2 points ago

Thanks man. I'm having a birthday beer as I type this.

[–]stevencsat 1 point2 points ago

You know what's even better? Going out and making real friends that don't only know it's your birthday because of Facebook

[–]Pineyyyyy 1 point2 points ago

498 friends on facebook, only 11 have said happy birthday so far. I've gotten a few texts from close friends but that's about it. :|

[–]Tannz0rz 1 point2 points ago

[–]moonshoeslol 0 points1 point ago

I use this to find out girls I haven't talked to in awhile who haven't put fucking me completely off the table. (This does not work with people you see on a regular basis) Confessionbear.jpg

[–]GreenEggsAndHamX -1 points0 points ago

I've never gotten a single happy birthday post on facebook. I've had it for 3 years...

[–]patricknayani 0 points1 point ago

yup that is why i hate facebook because people who in rl would never just say happy bd it makes me sick to see people with no anonymousness being social and out there

[–]el_brando 0 points1 point ago

I changed my birthday the day before and didn't get one post. Was nice seeing who actually dropped me a card off though. Closest friends as standard :)

[–]xXsnowXx 0 points1 point ago

I always lock my wall before my birthday so no one can write on it. Then I'll usually receive a few messages of "Happy Birthday" and sometimes a, "I tried to write on your wall, but couldn't, WTF?"

Facebook makes it to easy to tell someone happy birthday. I like to make them work at it a bit and see if they actually mean it.

[–]_SARMALE_ 1 point2 points ago

Today is my birthday. This is accurate.

[–]GoldenTabby 0 points1 point ago

Hah, it should be "every night after my birthday".

[–]westhebes 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit that's weird. Today's mine

[–]ryanboomer 0 points1 point ago

[–]MeatJerkingBeefBoy 0 points1 point ago

And these types of posts just get worse and worse

[–]Ephaxx 0 points1 point ago

Looks like some 15 year old kid from tumblr took something and made it their own thing, not really a surprise though. Here is what they copied.

[–]scottysxc 0 points1 point ago

Do people really think that this is original content?

[–]gunhorseunlimited 0 points1 point ago

Really? I usually get like 3 "Happy Birthdays" all day: One from my mom, one from my girlfriend, and one from my best friend. So I try to stay away from Facebook on my birthday so I don't start feeling depressed...

[–]aBeautifulStory 0 points1 point ago

You couldn't just screen cap a notification? You took a pic of it cropped it, then added it to this set of pics?

[–]go_ahead_downvote_me 0 points1 point ago

..and also where it ends

[–]ImGonnaBeInPictures 0 points1 point ago

Today's my birthday and this was my reaction this morning.

I didn't realise Ed Sheeran was on Reddit...

[–]pigeonchest 1 point2 points ago

I delete my profile for a day every birthday;.

[–]ma_ja_mcc 0 points1 point ago

With hundreds of friends, last year I had loads of Happy Birthday messages. This year I took off my birthday, didn't get one. Not a single message.

[–]Drderp134 0 points1 point ago

You people and your fb birthday post. I block anyone from making any posts to my fb on my b-day.

[–]LifeStartsNow 0 points1 point ago

My birthday is tomorrow and I considered changing the mobile settings for my facebook so my phone isn't constantly buzzing from people who really don't care about me, but feel obligated to say happy birthday.

[–]si-freak 0 points1 point ago

Me toooooooo, same birthday

[–]Joliet_Jake_Blues 0 points1 point ago

This kid has a "birthday" a couple times a month.
