the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.

not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying

    cake day is a colloquial term that means birthday. it’s not invented by or for reddit. also being reminded of reddit isn’t something to avoid; you can survive. it’s just a website. be normal.

    edit: it seems like it was probably coined for reddit, but I know it also means birthday now. even if it didn’t who gives a shit, the rest of my comment stands.

      I think nothing is fine. Or narwhal bacon day for people who just can’t let go of reddit.

        you know what good point, i guess i was familiar with the term before i was familiar with reddit so I made the wrong assumption. still the rest of what i said is true: it doesn’t matter.

          if it didn’t matter you wouldn’t have an opinion on it lol

            so if someone asks a question you literally cannot say that it doesn’t matter, because in saying so you’ll have formed an opinion on it? that’s ridiculous.

              you just gave the definition of having an opinion. I don’t know who you should be angry at about that but it certainly isn’t me

                I’m not sure you’re understanding what I’m saying. but more importantly I’m not sure you’re understanding what you’re saying.

                  all I see is somebody still having a conversation 11 hours later about how little they have an opinion on something

                    yeah, we’re not talking about my opinion are we, we’re talking about your weird response.
