This was a pretty dumb choice of cake day.

happy 4th of july

Thanks! Hopefully my neighbors don’t burn down the neighborhood.

Hopefully by next year we will have some flair for that!

God I hope not. The cake day nonsense was one of the worst parts of reddit

I thought it was an imgur thing.

As with a lot of things on imgur, it started on reddit.

Imgur literally started because a redditor wanted a place to host images for reddit posts, eventually turning into its own community, but with an interface largely based on reddit stuff (upvotes, downvotes, cake day, etc).

It's crazy, cuz I've been am imgurian for 11 years and just got on reddit as it was shutting down.
