It is a reddit trend that needs to die

[–]Zolty 23 points24 points ago

I have been here going on 5 years and never have I karma whored for cake.

[–]andywarlol 37 points38 points ago

Just noticed I have the 1 year trophy. No idea when it was.

[–]andywarlol 24 points25 points ago

Wait, what?

[–]hispanica316 10 points11 points ago

You call?

[–]ranscot 2 points3 points ago

Shhh! They may find out what karma really means on Reddit...

[–]Zolty 1 point2 points ago

I did a little happy dance at 10k comment karma.

[–]ranscot 4 points5 points ago

Sometimes I wonder what my karma would look like if I deleted all my downvoted comments like people who care.

I think my record was I had a +800 comment right next to a -900 comment.

Of course, back in the day, karma meant something completely different.

[–]Gooberpatrol66 5 points6 points ago

Whoa. I need to see that -900 comment.

[–]WeAllLoveRed 5 points6 points ago

Santorum 2012!

[–]ranscot 1 point2 points ago

If I choose to be, I can be an incredible asshole. That use to be my gig on old age Reddit.

But of course, seven years ago this circlejerk was maybe 1000 people.

[–]98PercentChimp 0 points1 point ago

And what, exactly, does it mean?

[–]Beanbaker 1 point2 points ago

OH MAN, AWESOME!

[–]Zolty -1 points0 points ago

I no rite!

[–]matari 1 point2 points ago

i don't give a shit

[–]Zolty 1 point2 points ago

Wow you made your account 4 days after mine.

[–]this_barb 0 points1 point ago

I'm close to 5 years. We must be best pals.

[–]Shepchri 0 points1 point ago

Thank God they're are other people that don't give a shit about this.

[–]bunglejerry 31 points32 points ago

Evidently you do though.

[–]Could_Be_Your_Father 8 points9 points ago

The anti cake day posts are just as annoying as the whoring cake day posts.

[–]jackass150 1 point2 points ago

I disagree, for me this post basically spoke to my subconscious. I realize that I never clicked this post with any real interest or desire in seeing how someone is trying to make up for missed cake day karma. No, truthfully I too really do not give a shit, and that this post helped me see something I wanted to see without ever giving any expectation of it being said. It almost makes me feel embarassed for clicking the link to begin with, but therein lies the humour and irony of this post, which to me makes it infinitely more superior and less annoying than the posts it is critical towards.

[–]PandaDerZwote 4 points5 points ago

And now you are trying to get some karma after crying for nights because you missed your cakeday? You sneaky bastard!

[–]ImClever 3 points4 points ago

Aaaaand you still get karma for your cake day.

[–]Stomo 13 points14 points ago

You sit on a throne of lies

[–]SoMuchDerp 6 points7 points ago

damn*

[–]RunningInSquares 2 points3 points ago

Cake day karma is stupid, post-cake day karma please...

[–]imasunbear 1 point2 points ago

Why is this a .gif?

[–]tiag0d1as 3 points4 points ago

/r/KarmaConspiracy ಠ_ಠ you can't fool me!

[–]Reservoiren 5 points6 points ago

Definitely. A friend calling to tell him he missed an online registration anniversary? It's more likely than not to be fake.

[–]plateoshrimp 1 point2 points ago

I don't even celebrate my real birthday, why the fuck would I care about the day I created an account on a silly website.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]NaCheezIt 18 points19 points ago

Cake day=day Reddit account created. Not exactly the same as birth. But close.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Itachi4ever 8 points9 points ago

People will say "Today is my real life cake day!" What the hell?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]T_Mucks 1 point2 points ago

It's better then redday.

[–]koolkid005 1 point2 points ago

Those are the people to whom reddit IS their real life.

[–]Vorokar -1 points0 points ago

Anniversary, more like.

[–]gentlemandinosaur 2 points3 points ago

I can tell. By your post about not caring.

[–]hellberger 0 points1 point ago

That's exactly what you do!

[–]Dragoryu3000 0 points1 point ago

So instead of posting a picture of a cat on your cake day, you posted a gif Morgan Freeman decrying the concept of cake days. Sorry, but both are karma-whoring. The latter is just more smug.

[–]Linton58 0 points1 point ago

Isn't it really "I don't give a damn"?

[–]tnicholson 0 points1 point ago

You cared SO little that you immediately posted about it to reddit.

[–]animonk 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way brother.

[–]mretchin 0 points1 point ago

Notice that he still got karma, even if he didn't claim it was his cake day...

[–]sirs 0 points1 point ago

I lip-read: "aai beef seed"

[–]Qquuiinnoonneess 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for Shawshank Redemption

[–]Smad3 0 points1 point ago

How does your friend know it's your cake day? He/she would have to be stalking you. WTF is going on here

[–]bitcheslovedroids -2 points-1 points ago

I wouldn't mind if she was into me

[–]sitswhilepees 0 points1 point ago

i hate you.

[–]Jzadek 0 points1 point ago

Wow, aren't you badass and counterculture?

[–]loganed 0 points1 point ago

and then you get more karma you could ever get cake whoring.......

[–]Vee_Vee 0 points1 point ago

Uhhhh...clearly, you do.

[–]SemiSeriousSam -2 points-1 points ago

You know, fuck this current trend. On my Reddit Birthday i didn't post a single comment, i didn't even make mention that it's my Reddit Birthday and that i didn't care. I just didn't do anything to bring attention to it. . . . . until now.

[–]mymomisyourfather -1 points0 points ago

But but.... The karma?

[–]SemiSeriousSam 1 point2 points ago

Real men deprive themselves of the joys of life.

[–]copyandpasta -2 points-1 points ago

And now you're telling us.

Enjoy not caring!

[–]TheMoro -1 points0 points ago

It's taken me two months to realise what cake day is. Until yesterday I assumed it was an annoying term for a birthday.

[–]BohmaJenkins -2 points-1 points ago

How do you know when your cake day is? And how does your friend know when yours is?

Edit: Honest question, I have no idea.

[–]T_Mucks -2 points-1 points ago

If you don't give a shit, why do you have a gif about it with 2000 upvotes?

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

You care enough to make a topic on it.

[–]Rustyshackleford3427 -2 points-1 points ago

misses cake day, makes up for it with clever morgan freeman. touche.

[–]snap_wilson -3 points-2 points ago

Me neither. I don't even know when it is.

[–]principe_di_reddit -3 points-2 points ago

eventually the walls....they start to grow on you!

[–]MasterNyx -3 points-2 points ago

Me neither. Way to go.

[–]rjd808 -3 points-2 points ago

Wait do cake day is not the same as birthday?
