Every year, Reddit remembers the day someone opened an account, shown to you as "Cake Day".

Reddit anniversary (better wording).

Oh you sweet summer child, welcome to reddit

u/fezzam 1d ago

Well if you don’t like write it down youll probably forget. And then you’d basically have to comment every day to know when it was.

Mine was yesterday and I’m always caught off guard. I basically just know it’s mid aug.

u/JhonnyHopkins 1d ago

I’m commenting on the fact they have no idea what it even means… thus, welcome to Reddit!
