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 from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there’s usually cake?

    Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you’re at.

      which is why I’m asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I’m not arguing one way or another

          I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with people who can’t just scroll up and read

        Oxford English Dictionary says the first instance of the phrase “cake day” was from a diary entry in the 1800s.
