holy shit can we stop caring about cake days now

[–]griffsterb 40 points41 points ago

probably not

[–]jerstud56 5 points6 points ago

All I know is my cake day is some day in January. I don't give a damn! Almost none of the cake day posts are legitimate original posts they are just stupid gifs or pics people have been holding onto forever claiming them as their own.

[–]MangoScango 10 points11 points ago

You've been here a year, I think you know the answer to that.

[–]whiplash000 19 points20 points ago

I remember a day when no one gave a shit about cake days... those were good days.

rocks back and forth in rocking chair

[–]wretlingrock392 1 point2 points ago

How long ago was that? Back when Reddit was first created?

(Disclaimer) I can't see how old your account is as I'm on my phone redditing right now

[–]littleonewithhat 1 point2 points ago

"Redditor for three years". You're welcome!

[–]Liberatric 0 points1 point ago

It could only have been a time when they hadn't quite yet implemented the little cake icon. Oh that must have been a glorious glorious time, when everything was perfect.

[–]whiplash000 1 point2 points ago

Oh, it was. It was a time when the only kind of karma whoring was posts that began with 'vote up if...'

And by the way, I've been lurking on Reddit waaay before I actually made an account ;)

[–]CedarScott 4 points5 points ago

I don't even know when my cake day is. That's how much I care.

[–]FlyingPasta 29 points30 points ago

If it makes people happy, I'm all for it. Stop being a grumpy bear.

[–]adlp 25 points26 points ago

I am the grumpiest of bears graghggh

[–]Baner87 2 points3 points ago

True, but it is apparently also making people unhappy.

Something tell me we should try this new thing called "compromise"

I upvote every cake day post I see... I'm hoping the Karma comes back to me on my cake day.

[–]DCBizzle 5 points6 points ago

That is sorta meta. That is how karma works, but not how karma works.

[–]ihutch01 0 points1 point ago

according to the amount of upvotes you have gotten, yes, possibly

[–]baronxs 35 points36 points ago

Maybe if you posted something original people would like it.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]DCBizzle 5 points6 points ago

Not basically, straight up whoring.

[–]pghgamecock 17 points18 points ago

It means you've been on the site for exactly one year.

You didn't win the goddamn Nobel Peace Prize.

[–]herruhlen 4 points5 points ago

Winning the Nobel Peace Prize requires less effort it seems.

Silly Norwegians.

[–]pghgamecock -2 points-1 points ago

There is no such thing as an "internet birthday."

Reddit just puts a cake next to someone's name if they've been on the site for exactly one year. And yet for some reason, when people have that cake there, dumbass pictures get upvoted for some inane reason. It's so stupid.

You know what happened on my "cakeday"? Nothing. I didn't even realize it happened. Cause nothing fucking changed.

[–]missyo02 2 points3 points ago

I was out and about being happy with friends on my cake day. I had two kittens at the time. Now they're cats and I still don't give a shit enough to post them to reddit. I think it's about being normal and not need assurance from strangers that makes us the minorities of reddit.

[–]dissident93 1 point2 points ago

yea, it's why reddit is turning into digg now. what's the next site we will all jump too?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]pghgamecock 1 point2 points ago

Or I didn't care enough to even post that day.

[–]TeethofBusey 2 points3 points ago

Cheers to those that don't give a shit about "cake days".

[–]lostinsurburbia 49 points50 points ago

Welcome to the real world jackass!

Happy cake day.

[–]Pineo 8 points9 points ago

Fuck off.

[–]Darkmotive 23 points24 points ago

millions of cake days everyday, not so special anymore is it.

[–]Reddit_is_Trapped 14 points15 points ago

I will remember that in a years time when it's your cake day.

[–]MyHandIsNumb 21 points22 points ago

It's ironic. Because his cake day post about having a failed cake day is, in reality, not failing. It's almost like.... you planned that. You cunning bastard.

[–]Baconpwner 5 points6 points ago

yfw

[–]ILoveThisWebsite 3 points4 points ago

This is on my FRONT PAGE!

[–]lostmyth 3 points4 points ago

That part of the song makes me so sad.

[–]beanso 3 points4 points ago

Can we rename cake day to coke day, where everyone binges on coke? Might improve the quality of posts.

[–]Kind_Of_A_Dick 8 points9 points ago

What the hell is that blue thing that pops up?

[–]Bravowhiskey54 1 point2 points ago

Practice grenade?

[–]TheRnegade 1 point2 points ago

Some kind of cake decoration

[–]blindedbybears 1 point2 points ago

I need this to be answered!

[–]SocialAssassin 1 point2 points ago

[–]Jjunior130 0 points1 point ago

i bet its a downvote

[–]TheNeuromancer 2 points3 points ago

I'M AN ADULT! I DON'T NEED YOUR HANDOUTS.

[–]5741354110059687423 2 points3 points ago

everyone uses this gif on their cake day

[–]PollysLithium 2 points3 points ago

Then stop mentioning you cake day, it's just asking for down votes. Just like when people say it is their first post. Down vote for you for seeking pity and because I'm a bitch.

[–]Ooblah21 8 points9 points ago

Stop fucking posting about cake days! We. Don't. Give. A. Single. Fuck.

[–]Wargall 17 points18 points ago

I know that feel...

[–]karmasutur3 -2 points-1 points ago

Me too. :(

[–]jabber_of_poo 1 point2 points ago

WHY!!! you just wasted cake i will curse you

[–]Shazzam74 1 point2 points ago

When I was, a young boy.....

[–]NoUrImmature 1 point2 points ago

It seems like the most successful cakeday posts are the ones that talk about how cakeday is not free karma.

[–]Flazhes 1 point2 points ago

Upvote for making this fucking song stuck in my head. Fuck you, srsly.

[–]toughbananas974 1 point2 points ago

A reference to something I recognize!

[–]Sventertainer 2 points3 points ago

yet, I couldn't find a single link to the song :C <-dissapointed.

[–]toughbananas974 0 points1 point ago

Awww :(

[–]PeeTer_Tape 1 point2 points ago

And that is how I will treat your Cake Day post complaining about not getting up votes for you Cake Day posts.

[–]ithrowitontheground 1 point2 points ago

I AIN'T GONNA BE PART OF YO KARMA WHORIN SYSTEM!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Quitcherbitchen

[–]Monkeys_with_Guns 1 point2 points ago

FUCK YOU. UPVOTE.

[–]dancing_leaves 1 point2 points ago

When was my cake day? My account went from being 11 months old to being 12 months old, but there was no fanfare, no fireworks, nothing.

[–]captain_zavec 1 point2 points ago

Protip: I automatically downvote any post with the words "karma" or "cakeday" in the time, as do a lot of other people afaik.

[–]DCBizzle 1 point2 points ago

That's because you're not entitled to more karma just because you created your account this day. It's just another day. Submit good, get good karma. Don't whine about it like a little bitch. Pardon my language but I had to get my point across.

[–]stancake 1 point2 points ago

Is there... an eye in that cake?

[–]RoadieRich 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday to the floor!
Happy birthday to the floor!
Happy birthday to the floor!
Now!

[–]JoeTheDolfan 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone else wonder what that little blue ball is?

[–]oxsouls 1 point2 points ago

woooh dude that was amazing

[–]The_Pants_Command_Me 1 point2 points ago

It's OK. Cakeday is stupid.

[–]xt- 5 points6 points ago

nobody gives a shit that it's his cake day

[–]arcadeguy 5 points6 points ago

...really? I have no idea how many unique users Reddit has, but if you just look at one big front page sub, it has 1.8 million. Just from that alone, you're saying there should be about five thousand useless front page posts every single day of the year.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]rusteh 1 point2 points ago

We share the same cake day brother woo!

[–]Radasaur 1 point2 points ago

I just had a cake-epileptic seizure.

[–]Drewge_Liang 2 points3 points ago

The chocolate cake! THOSE MONSTERS!!!

[–]WakeAndGo 1 point2 points ago

The splattering of the cake is so epic that I'll up vote this and stare at this gif just for that.

[–]karmasutur3 0 points1 point ago

Me too man. At least you had something successful. Mine is coming to an end in an hour or so and reddit gives zero fucks.

[–]wocK_ 0 points1 point ago

It's my cake day too.... wahey!

[–]erick_discordia 0 points1 point ago

You're just mad because WE'RE NOT PART OF YOUR SYSTEM.

It's my "cake day", and you know what, who gives a shit?

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Metaphoricalsimile 1 point2 points ago

I guess TheDuckmage gives a shit :D

[–]TheDuckmage 3 points4 points ago

Always. Even if i get downvoted because of it

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

I hope you choke on your cake and die.

[–]CraicFractal 0 points1 point ago

this gif is in time with the music i am listening to. me gusta.

[–]m-p-3 2 points3 points ago

Were you listening to God Is an Astronaut?

[–]CraicFractal 0 points1 point ago

no. i think it might have been some live black sabbath but i am not positive because it was 20 minutes ago and [6]. it was good, though. i wish that would happen more often.

[–]MrCheeze 0 points1 point ago

I just upvoted because I liked the gif itself, not for your cake day.

[–]amorvita 0 points1 point ago

THIS AIN'T MY DAD

IT'S A CELL PHONE

SO I THREW IT ON THE GRRROOOUUUNNNDDD.

sigh I love Lonely Island.

[–]rpawson5771 -1 points0 points ago

Even your gif is too fast. Truly a wasted day.

[–]chingyduster -2 points-1 points ago

Boo Hoo you made it to the second page in 3 hours. I got 13 Karma on my cake day and i even whored out pictures of my old cat.

[–]mcd1992 -1 points0 points ago

That feel.

Sweet Jesus, I didn't expect there to be so much hate for a simple cake next to a name. I guess some people just hate everything...

[–]missyo02 1 point2 points ago

when it's 50 minutes into your cake day and you're told

fuck off idiot, no one cares. there is nothing significant about joining a website/forum

[–]CannedBeef -5 points-4 points ago

Happy cakeday. I bet you have nice eyes.

[–]ImBuzzed -1 points0 points ago

LIKE A BOSS

[–]MyNameIsBro -1 points0 points ago

Hey! It's not earth day!

[–]akumadiavolo -1 points0 points ago

Personally I think anyone who says "cake day" is a fucking retard, so yeah.
