Cake Day [keyk-day]

noun
1. The anniversary of one's creating a username on reddit
2. The day when redditors try to use reverse psychology in their post titles to whore for karma.

[–]DrHasnoCash 2 points3 points ago

Now that's some tasty keyk

[–]julian88888888 0 points1 point ago

I… I don't know what to do.

[–]Spiritjump 60 points61 points ago

Every time this gets upvoted it gets more and more incorrect.

[–]Copulate1364 1 point2 points ago

That's where you are wrong my friend. This post covers all bases. The people that do care about cakedays upvote because of the cakeday, while the people don't don't care upvote in agreement.

[–]zdstuber -1 points0 points ago

The opposite, the more upvotes shows that more agree, thus more people don't give a shit about cake days. spirit you're a little slow

[–]Spiritjump 0 points1 point ago

My post was referencing to the fact that it was OP's cakeday at the time he posted it. So every time he gets upvoted because it's his cakeday, the post gets more incorrect because less people don't care about his cakeday. So fuck you. :D

[–]Napalm_Star21 32 points33 points ago

...He said on his cake day...

[–]DrHasnoCash -1 points0 points ago

No he didn't. Durrr

[–]Fmloop 3 points4 points ago

Honestly it's the phrase "Cake Day" that makes me cringe.

[–]mspunctuated 2 points3 points ago

...Apostolate...

[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care 1 point2 points ago

He's taken the fun out of my life. : (

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 1 point2 points ago

How?

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

He's attempting to take over your thrown your majesty.

[–]DizzyNW 0 points1 point ago

Throne?

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]DizzyNW 1 point2 points ago

Sorry, I hate to be a stickler, but I was a little throne by your comment.

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Her username. Her username was ANAL_QUEEN

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Idky you said that word but it's my middle name. Weeeird

[–]YourMomSaidHi 2 points3 points ago

Yet somehow my front page has cake day shit on it

[–]AmboC 8 points9 points ago

Yet you're gonna try and squeeze some karma out of it anyways. If you're gonna be a karma whore, at least be honest about it.

[–]nate199 6 points7 points ago

Uhh my name is Nate and I'm a karma whore.

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 3 points4 points ago

Hi Nate.

[–]AlphaSkag1 1 point2 points ago

Hi Nate I'm Alpha. I like making karma whoring posts just for that feeling of refreshing the page and seeing that number go up.

[–]DrHasnoCash 1 point2 points ago

Hi Nate, Hi Alpha. I'm a doctor. And even though I survived medical shark college I do not understand karma yet. I'm fairly new to reddit. My keyk day is many moons from now. I do seem to be getting karma but don't know how. I tried googling once but only found pictures of kittens and aliens. I even asked on a thread and got down voted. Needless to say, I'm the loneliest medicinal shark doctor in the world.

[–]AlphaSkag1 0 points1 point ago

Hi medicinal shark doctor man. You could try posting something related to karma, like "MFW I hit 5 link karma" then post a picture of a man dancing. That's what I did and I received karma for dayz

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Would love too. Just one problem. I have no idea what any of that meant

[–]nate199 0 points1 point ago

Hello alpha it is nice to meet you. Would anyone else like to... Confess something?

[–]beanso -2 points-1 points ago

You're astoundingly bad at it.

[–]GunfighterJ 0 points1 point ago

My thoughts on the comments regarding karma whoring

And at least I'll admit to attempting to karma whore. But what do I care? It's only the internet, a place where everything's made up and the karma doesn't matter.

[–]CrotchCricket 2 points3 points ago

Could not agree more

[–]tsuichoi 2 points3 points ago

Its about time someone said it...

[–]illthinkofitlater 2 points3 points ago

I POSTED THIS LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY GOT LIKE 4 UPVOTES AND NOW YOU POST IT AND ITS YOUR CAKE DAY AND YOU GET HELLA MOTHERFUCKING KARMA. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

[–]RandomBananas 5 points6 points ago

Stop bitching. It's Reddit.

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

1/2 the success of a post has to do with WHEN you post it.

[–]kabbotta -2 points-1 points ago

And the other 49% is random luck...

[–]MisterSquidz -1 points0 points ago

No one cares!

[–]GreenSkreen 1 point2 points ago

Who the fuck is this nobody guy?

[–]Simi566 0 points1 point ago

He is a very caring person

[–]GreenSkreen 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like it

[–]yungbumyum 1 point2 points ago

I wish that were the truth, OP....

Oh well! Time to filter out all posts with that phrase

[–]GwsGeorge 0 points1 point ago

You're right. I don't.

[–]BubkaPenis 0 points1 point ago

Fuck 'em

[–]alaskanskwerl 1 point2 points ago

I really didn't care my cake day was 3ish days ago and I celebrated by taking a nap! Oh and I had a bomb ass cookie

[–]DrHasnoCash 1 point2 points ago

AFFLECK YOU WAS THE BOMB IN FANTOMS YO!!! Ahem! Sorry I don't know what got over me. Holy shit it's Ben AFFLECK YOU WAS TH-

[–]whosrephaite -1 points0 points ago

Very subtle OP.....very subtle.

[–]epicaddict 0 points1 point ago

Well shit

[–]Mr_Pie_Eater -1 points0 points ago

I don't even know what a cake day is!! Woohoo!

[–]TEmpTom 0 points1 point ago

[–]HittingSmoke 0 points1 point ago

Really? Because in my experience I've learned that everyone cares but me...

[–]sboogaloo 0 points1 point ago

Which is why you have 965 upvotes.

I only upvoted because of that little cake next to your name.

[–]isaactology 0 points1 point ago

I upvote every post I see with a cake.. just because I feel like I am giving them a present.

[–]modzer0 0 points1 point ago

Socially engineered karma

[–]Edge_Blade 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else try to read this like "imagination" inflection?

[–]AK40Sarah 0 points1 point ago

It seriously makes it better that way.

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

On my cake day I hope I see something awesome that I can take a picture of to post. Really I think that's what keyk day should be all about

[–]Rabidpotatoes 0 points1 point ago

I'd give you an upvote, but now that you mention it, I don't care. (Slight sarcasm in places)

[–]Skaarah 0 points1 point ago

You asshole. I want to upvote because I actually don't care. But I want to downvote because it's your cake day. FINE! Take your upvote.

[–]Ransomber 1 point2 points ago

Irony or hypocrisy?

Who cares, here's an upvote.

[–]thelasttimelady 0 points1 point ago

And have a very happy cake day!

[–]MrPeoples 0 points1 point ago

It seems like people care.

[–]solace1234 0 points1 point ago

well, whats the point of a cakeday if you dont tell anybody?!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Even if it's reverse psychology, if it's karma whoring I'm downvoting it.

[–]orangetuna 0 points1 point ago

Fuck any sad asshole that waits 4 months to post something until they have a cake next to their pic.

[–]QuasarsRcool -1 points0 points ago

Really? Then why do they make it on the front page? I'm not saying I like them, in fact I fucking loathe them. But your post is a bullshit attempt at karma just like theirs.

[–]Carrotsandstuff 1 point2 points ago

I'll be honest, I was gonna downvote because I despise the term "cake-day" and automatically downvote whatever post I see it in, but this. This is different. You're so correct, that I'm going to not do anything to it.

[–]Elizabeth202 0 points1 point ago

I see what you did there...

[–]poirot_mustache 1 point2 points ago

Amen

[–]rayzorium 1 point2 points ago

Why is this a thing? Do you get a karma bonus on cake day or something?

[–]bowjoane 0 points1 point ago

What you did ... I can see it.

[–]ElvinFrish 0 points1 point ago

Who started the cake day tradition anyways?

[–]Hitokiri0Kaitan 0 points1 point ago

But...but...I've...been...waiting...all...year...

[–]blackhawk4756 1 point2 points ago

cakeday karma? not from me

[–]Karolinkaa 1 point2 points ago

Thank you good sir

[–]GsusIsChord 1 point2 points ago

So meta it hurts

[–]lalondtm 1 point2 points ago

I call BS. I see some really stupid posts that get upvotes on peoples cakedays

[–]Montisa2008 0 points1 point ago

laughs

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Why not? It's a celebration bitches!

[–]sunmoonstarsrain -1 points0 points ago

I LOL-ed.

[–]maketho -2 points-1 points ago

I didn't downvote you, but I felt like this was needed, happy cake day :)

[–]HB0404 -2 points-1 points ago

Am I the only one who calls it a Birthday anymore? I usually get ice cream instead of cake anyway.

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

You have much to learn. A cake day is a the anniversary of the day you created your reddit account.

[–]HB0404 0 points1 point ago

and just like that I feel like an idiot. Thanks for informing me before I made too much of a fool of myself.

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

It's okay we've all been there, the little cake slice by the username means its your cake day

[–]Blaise6711 0 points1 point ago

Oh the irony....

[–]Binsky89 0 points1 point ago

It's just an excuse to repost content without getting bitched at as much.

[–]DrHasnoCash 0 points1 point ago

Lol as much

[–]BlackStarLine -2 points-1 points ago

Well played

[–]321squrt -1 points0 points ago

But, that is supposed to say, "Imagination" not "Nobody Cares"

[–]digivolution -1 points0 points ago

that is a really high resolution picture

[–]cheddarcrow -1 points0 points ago

We share our mother's health. Happy Cakeday. My unimpressed dog Bruno had to get into a costume, coupled with the mention of cakedays..and I STILL do not get karma. Fuuuuu

[–]abbAtheist -3 points-2 points ago

You know I was about to down-vote this, because I care about cake-days (don't ask why, because I have no idea).

[–]Montisa2008 0 points1 point ago

If you care about cake days then you'll be happy in three days!

[–]abbAtheist -1 points0 points ago

What's happening?!

[–]AK40Sarah 1 point2 points ago

Buttsecks.

[–]Kalgoor -2 points-1 points ago

LE UPVOTE

[–]realfastlike -2 points-1 points ago

Haha, called it.
