Everyone should post beans

[-] dsemy@lemm.ee 40 points 3 weeks ago

And not poop for 3 days

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

You want beans? I'll give you all the beans you can handle...

Look, the rewards outweigh the risks so its work it.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

How soon we forget Lemmy’s first big meme.

3 days, no poop.

[-] Nobody@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Lemmings welcoming another Rexxitor, circa June 2023.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago

Toss a coin to your server. Oh community of plenty.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 29 points 3 weeks ago

I was wondering that, actually. Many instances predate the Rexodus, but a lot of them sprung up around the same time as a result of that.

Trying to think of some way to celebrate on my instance. Maybe a birthday hat on my site icon for the day? lol

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

Replace the website with a picture of beans.

On second thought, don't do that

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

I've seen the reference a lot, but I don't understand it. At this point, I'm too afraid to ask. lol

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, how about that? I say we get drunk. Day drink! Day drink and post stupidly!

I totally forgot Ming-Na Wen was in that.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't even recognize her, but as soon as I heard her voice it was clear. :-)

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 3 weeks ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

For me it was Tuesday

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[-] Drusas@kbin.run 9 points 3 weeks ago

Act natural. Got it.

[-] MR_GABARISE@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Let's name it a Beans Day instead of a Cake Day.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Went to look and you're right, June 14, the exact day Boost for reddit stoped working. Now ai use boost for lemmy! :)

[-] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Shucks, I originally joined beehaw but they were blocking too many sites, and switched on September. Ruined my true cake day

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

That's okay, changing instances at least once is part of the experience

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Let's let Reddit Things die with Reddit.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -1 points 3 weeks ago

Jehovah's Witness tier argument

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe it could be specific to each user?

Few ideas

  • a community for people to post in on their cake day, where they can comment on some aspect of their life that's improved in the last year / something they're grateful for

  • if you come across a cake day account, pop into their history and comment on something you find interesting

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Note to self—don't make any comments on cake day

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The latter sounds great!

[-] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

How about nothing? The happy cake day comments were even more annoying than "this" comments

[-] stelelor@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago
[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, complaining about the culture of the site was my favorite part of reddit culture

[-] linuxPIPEpower@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

this place isn't what it used to be

[-] EtzBetz@feddit.de 1 points 3 weeks ago
[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

How about denim day? Bean jean day? Thigh high day? Cake is a lie, let's celebrate real linux twinks.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago
[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lemmy wish you a Happy Cakeday! May your post counts be high and your comments be gold.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Canvas event?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Mine's June 13th. One more month and I won't have posted anything on reddit for a full year.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Why is that a thing?

Same energy as a store giving me a birthday email.

[-] Gardienne@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

You must be fun at parties.

Birthday parties to be precise.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Are these birthday parties where we sit around selling each other the latest MLM garbage

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wow it's almost been a year already?

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It sure has. I knew it had been a while but didn't realize how close till we entered into May.
