it's the new 'Le'

[–]work_account_443 147 points148 points ago

fuck you. its called a birthday.

[–]PoopTorpedo 23 points24 points ago

I'm not sure what's worse- 'irl cakeday' or 'cakeday' itself.

Why the fuck would anyone care about when you made your account?

[–]Skinnj 4 points5 points ago

Because people on reddit give you worthless karma for that and apparently it is important to gain it! That's why.

[–]Nookuler 1 point2 points ago

I made it a point to not post on that day. I don't remember the day I made my ESPN account (which I care about more), why the fuck should I care what day I made an account to a site that's main purpose is to make me laugh and get porn recommendations.

People born in 2001 are 11 years old and have access to internet.

How horrifying.

[–]katatonos 34 points35 points ago

Yeah, but you can be born on 9/11 of any year... including those that came before 2001.

[–]Tayoke12 30 points31 points ago

TIL

[–]great_gape 4 points5 points ago

Clearly he's 11

[–]one_great_city 4 points5 points ago

[–]Sentient_Waffle 60 points61 points ago

Firstly, fuck off with the "irl cakeday" shit.

Secondly, if people give you shit for being happy on your birthday, just tell them that if you don't celebrate, the terrorists win.

[–]good_piggy 76 points77 points ago

It's called a birthday.

[–]qulex 71 points72 points ago

for my birthday

FTFY

[–]jamesf797 50 points51 points ago

It's called a fucking birthday you miserable piece of shit!

[–]leedorham 25 points26 points ago

A friend of mine has a 7/14 birthday (that's what we call them irl) and her mom used to make her guillotine cakes.

[–]CynicSatire 7 points8 points ago

I was due on 7/14, but came early. :(

edit: I also was born 4 days early.

[–]leedorham 21 points22 points ago

Your dad came early too.

[–]danyanimal 4 points5 points ago

My birthday is on Bastille day, too. Going to France on my birthday is like one big party and everyone is invited.

[–]BurntTheToast 3 points4 points ago

I was born on Nov 11 into a big military family. Hard to celebrate my birthday when we are going around town giving gifts and saying thanks to veterans all day.

[–]Shit_on_your_Chest 0 points1 point ago

Vive le Bastille!!! Ninja edit: Fuck the french.

[–]mysteries_of_magnets 0 points1 point ago

That's my birthday, and when I was a kid I always got shit about Bastille Day, though never the guillotine cake.... I would have enjoyed that

[–]mattgamer247 52 points53 points ago

Downvote for "irl cakeday"

[–]MichelleyMarie 18 points19 points ago

I'm glad you have a mom that was able to attempt to make light of what must be a truly terrible birthday for you. Nobody celebrates, and you're not really allowed to seem to happy or celebratory lest you look like an ass. Cope with it however you must, and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[–]ShakesBabiesToo 14 points15 points ago

Well, there's a lot of hooting, hollering, and too soon-ing, but I just wanted to let you know, tasteless or not, I laughed. Also, I don't think your mom is a cunt. She is likely a fine, caring woman.

[–]imisscrazylenny 6 points7 points ago

Coming from someone who shakes babies...

[–]CavedeRave 0 points1 point ago

the second

EDIT: I realize that means as well and have decided to leave my retarded statement behind to be ridiculed.

[–]wargod_warhunt 0 points1 point ago

Still correct. He shakes them "too", which implies that the comment is made in retaliation to news that another individual enjoys this baby rattling activity. Hence they were the "first".

Take heart.

Also.... We are now talking about shaking babies.

[–]kenaijoe 1 point2 points ago

What was your birthday like in 2001?

[–]honeydee 3 points4 points ago

It's his birthday, quit being assholes and get over the fact that he used "irl cakeday". Everyone on this damn site uses the phrase cakeday.

OP, sorry about the sucky coincidence. Happy birthday. It's okay to be happy about your birthday, just keep those who lost their lives in mind too.

Commence the expected downvotes.

[–]anxietyvoyage 5 points6 points ago

At least it has lots of icing..

Sucks about your birthday, have a good day nonetheless!

[–]SparklesM8 10 points11 points ago

thats a great cake, but I am downvoting you because even your mom know its a birthday and not your "IRL Cakeday"

[–]maezrrackham 5 points6 points ago

That is terrible and wonderful at the same time.

[–]ChiefSweetTree 6 points7 points ago

At least she has a sense of humor about it.

Sorry about your birthday, bro.

[–]Sutekhy 6 points7 points ago

Birthday, faggot

[–]sjbennett85 3 points4 points ago

Have you ever SEEN the WTC?

The windows were vertical, not horizontal.

[–]Shit_on_your_Chest 6 points7 points ago

Fuck you.

[–]rohirrim 11 points12 points ago

Well that's not really funny.

[–]firefae83 0 points1 point ago

At least there was a thick layer of frosting! Silver lining? Yes? No?

[–]plethorgalgas 1 point2 points ago

That's my birthday too!

[–]HoofaKingFarted 1 point2 points ago

That is tasteless, yet tasteful. Mmmmm, cake!

[–]Anovan -1 points0 points ago

Today is my birthday too. Feels bad man.

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 2 points3 points ago

Yeah man, having a birthday on the day that thousands of people were innocently murdered must suck, I mean seriously, every year you stay alive on your birthday, you're reminded of all those people who for no reason lost their lives, your life must suck. At least you have it still.

I'm not ripping on you though, it's not your fault what day you're born on or what happens on your birthday, I would just refrain from saying it sucks, because I'm sure it sucked alot more for the people who were present during 9/11 at the actual towers, and that was extremely in appropriate of your mother. It's one thing to joke around, but to joke about the lives of almost 3,000 lives being selfishly stolen from them is not the same.

[–]Wazowski 0 points1 point ago

Old and busted: The euphemism "irl cakeday".

New hotness: Feigning rage when someone types "irl cakeday".

"I noticed everyone here is angry about that phrase! I'm angry too! Arrrgh! It's called a birthday you fag!"

[–]Pykoh 5 points6 points ago

It's called your motherfucking birthday, bitch.

[–]Shortythecat 8 points9 points ago

It's called a birthday.

[–]guitarguy109 7 points8 points ago

Classy...

[–]jglee1236 6 points7 points ago

Downvoted just for saying "irl cakeday".

[–]usfunca 1 point2 points ago

Today is also my birthday. :) :(

[–]Gonki1 3 points4 points ago

BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY GODDAMMIT

[–]FireReadyAim 1 point2 points ago

I went through and upvoted 11 comments related to hating you for saying "irl cakeday" and I still am not satisfied, so: fuck you.

[–]something_simple1852 5 points6 points ago

Everyone saying your mom has problems can screw off. 9/11 is my bday, too. It really sucks when every time someone asks my birthday they feel sorry for me and say "wow, that's a really shitty birthday". IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY FIRST, DAMMIT!! and you can bet your ass I'm still celebrating it. So if your mom wants to make light of the situation, that I'm sure you get just as much crap for as I do, more power to her.

[–]ninjastandingbehindu 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday, something_simple1852!

[–]auratus1985 1 point2 points ago

11 years =

a) Too soon

b) Not soon enough

c) Not too soon but still tasteless

[–]TrustInHenry 3 points4 points ago

I'm going to rule out "c" because I like cake and it might be chocolate and that can never be tasteless.

[–]TechFocus 3 points4 points ago

C

[–]TuskedOdin -2 points-1 points ago

Grrrr it's between a and c

[–]timstm 0 points1 point ago

I hate everything about this post, but something about rediquette and downvotes

[–]njst -2 points-1 points ago

your mom is a cunt.

[–]tigerlky -2 points-1 points ago

As a Canadian, this is in extremely poor taste. It probably tasted bad too.

[–]GnubbZ -1 points0 points ago

It's also my "IRL Cake Day" and fuck you...

My cake had a rainbow on it you don't see me bragging about it.

Plot twist: I didn't get a cake :'(

[–]wargod_warhunt 0 points1 point ago

You lie!!

[–]TuskedOdin -5 points-4 points ago

M night shamalamadingdong?

[–]-Tejx- -1 points0 points ago

NO

[–]Lyianx 1 point2 points ago

Mine was yesterday, and since 2001 its always a let down on the day after.

[–]imtheotherone 2 points3 points ago

Yea it's my mom's birthday today too and she was working a few blocks from the WTC when it happened. Sucks.

[–]rpare033 1 point2 points ago

I don't think that this is tasteless. first I agree with But_Honestly_Though when he's saying when is it no longer too soon. It isn't too soon anymore. Plus his mom isn't making fun of 9/11 she's making fun of her son for having his birthday on that day. Big difference.

[–]frenchever_alone 0 points1 point ago

charming

[–]n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3 -1 points0 points ago

10/10 would eat freefalling again

[–]ElGoddamnDorado -1 points0 points ago

Today is also my birthday. Jeez there are a lot of redditors with 9/11 birthdays.

[–]turbokiwi -1 points0 points ago

Birthday.birthday |ˈbərTHˌdā| noun the annual anniversary of the day on which a person was born, typically treated as an occasion for celebration and present-giving: I'm getting a dollhouse for my birthday | [ as modifier ] : a birthday cake | the birthday boy. • the day of one's birth: she shares a birthday with Paul McCartney. • the anniversary of something starting or being founded: the staff celebrated the twenty-fifth birthday of the paper. PHRASES in one's birthday suit humorous naked.

[–]antaymonkey -2 points-1 points ago

I want you to know that the downvote was not for the cake, but because you said "irl cakeday".

[–]Unwright -1 points0 points ago

IT'S CALLED A BIRTHDAY YOU TWAT

[–]FedoraLa -1 points0 points ago

I hear ya bro.

[–]Elo2121 -1 points0 points ago

What fucked up country are you from, it's called "Birthday"

[–]Owl_You_Need_Is_Love -1 points0 points ago

That's...kind of fucked up.

[–]PattonMagroin 0 points1 point ago

JOSH?

[–]loppy788 -2 points-1 points ago

It's a birthday..

[–]DoktuhParadox -2 points-1 points ago

It's called a birthday. In case you're not from an English speaking country, or you're a complete imbecile:

Birthday: |ˈbərTHˌdā|: Noun

The annual anniversary of the day on which a person was born, typically treated as an occasion for celebration and present-giving.

Not IRL cakeday.

[–]Atlas_Colter -1 points0 points ago

What an amazing day to put up a picture of burning buildings...

[–]Thornar68 -1 points0 points ago

ITS YOUR FUCKING BIRTHDAY GODDAMNIT!

[–]sivablue 0 points1 point ago

...gonna bake a cake related to 9/11... call it my in real life cake day from my mom a few years back and BAM.... Karma.

[–]winters_night 0 points1 point ago

Why do you still have this cake?

[–]Sarlowit 0 points1 point ago

It's called birthday.

[–]haroumoon 0 points1 point ago

Haha, my cousin's birthday is today as well...I would show him this, but he used to be a drill sergeant in the Marines, he might not be so appreciative. xD

[–]DHK83 -2 points-1 points ago

[–]But_Honestly_Though 1 point2 points ago

But honestly though...

...when will people quit crying "too soon!"?

[–]GeneralJPatts -4 points-3 points ago

utterly tasteless. if your mom lost somebody that day I doubt she'd make a cake depicting it.

[–]TheWhiteeKnight -3 points-2 points ago

I don't see why this is being downvoted, it's true. It's sad, but it's a true double standard. People think it's okay to make fun of it now, but if they had somebody they held dear die as a result of it, they would have the complete opposite mindset, arguing the other side of the debate. I didn't have any family die directly in the towers, but my uncle who was a firefighter rescuing people died some years later due to cancer resulting from the extreme smoke and ashes, and it honestly hurts inside alittle everytime somebody chooses to make light of the tragic event. I understand it's some people's way of coping, but alot of the time, people view it as we're trying to shove America down their throats, or trying to make a statement that America is superior to them in some way when it's really not, it's just about respecting and remembering the love one's we pointlessly lost..

[–]TheLittleLebowski -5 points-4 points ago

It's called a birthday faggot, and no one gives a fuck.

[–]Twelvey 0 points1 point ago

Your mom sounds like a fun gal.

[–]UZUMATI-JAMESON -2 points-1 points ago

Oh crap that's today?

[–]ryancarpenter -2 points-1 points ago

Wow, people are being really mean to you. Happy birthday, person! (I think 'irl cakeday' is funny...)

[–]CaptainTim1982 -2 points-1 points ago

This is a awful cake. I can not believe she made light of such a tragedy.

[–]fuck_yeahguy 1 point2 points ago

This is the most reasonable comment i have seen on this post yet, how is it not at the top?

[–]CaptainTim1982 0 points1 point ago

Thanks!

[–]dawho1 -1 points0 points ago

Is it strange that I thought of this instead of 9/11?

[–]opaque22 -4 points-3 points ago

irl I h8 when ppl say irl cakeday, k?

Seriously, you sound retarded.

[–]KidCasey 0 points1 point ago

It's my birthday too! Happy birthday!

[–]dclem153 -3 points-2 points ago

That cake is pretty disrespectful. I don't cry about 9/11 like others saying it needs to be remembered Or how great a tragedy it was. Yeah it was bad but not the worst thing that has happened. I just don't think it should be made light of on a birthday cake.

[–]flattusmaximus -2 points-1 points ago

Hopping on the bandwagon.

It's birthday!

[–]Wisconsinboi -4 points-3 points ago

It's my "IRL cakeday" too! I don't have any fancy cakes to show though. All the money I had to make a cake was spent on beer.

[–]hated_monster -3 points-2 points ago

That's one cool cake! I wish I had a funny cake. Today is also my birthday but I made my own cake. Happy Birthday!

[–]I_TYPE_IN_ALL_CAPS -5 points-4 points ago

YOU MUST BE SUCH A PATRIOT.
