The entire family is dumb as rocks.
It’d be hilarious if daddy dumb dumb wasnt a cult leader with so much power.Teddy may have turned 8mo in that meme, but you sir/madam turned 1yo today (on Lemmy). So happy cake day to you!
Ha! Thanks
It surprises me how stupid people seem to get power easily.
Happy cake day btw.
Confidence will get you very far in many fields. Unfortunately, more intelligent people are aware there are things they do not know and rarely have the confidence levels comparable to that of a dimwit.
Maybe due to all of the accomplishments of the Cheeto king’s administration life expectancy will be measured in months to hide the fact that our collective life expectancy has been drastically reduced. When you got studies coming out saying that the poorest European lives about as long as the richest American, well you know you got a problem.
I did not think that was real. But it really is…
If 8 months equals a birthday, which used to be 12 months
And that’s reflective of shortened life spans
Then life expectancy is 2/3 of what it was (8/12 = 2/3)
And I only expected to live to at most 60 before (obesity)
But I turn 40 this year…
Well, it’s been nice knowing you all o7
What are you guys talking about, my birth day is a weekly recurring event. I was born on a Saturday so I’m now 2078 weeks old.
I am very normal.
Wth? That’s a birth week. That’s not how normal people celebrate.
I’m coming over tomorrow to show you how to properly do birthdays. Also, do you know a place where I can find 14,000+ candles for your cake?
No, that’s not true. A birth week recurs yearly, not weekly.
A birth day is the day on which you were born, say Saturday, and you’ll have one of those every week.
A birth week is the number of the week in which you were born, say week 14, and it takes a year before it’s week 14 again. Same interval as a birth month.
A birth date only occurs once. It’ll never be July 4, 1981 ever again.
This is all very normal and logical. Beep boop.
No, no. You see, the time period indicates how often you celebrate. This is why it’s perfectly normal for OP to celebrate the baby’s every month. (Why are we doing this? Oh, right facepalm)
Happy Birthday!
Thank you! You are welcome to join me next week when I celebrate my 2079th birth day.
World might be a better place if everyone treated their birthdays like the Sabbath and celebrated and relaxed once a week
Never fails to amaze me how out of touch with reality they are.
and stupid. Don’t forget stupid.
Also evil. Mostly evil.
Gross, they’re making more of them.
Maybe this is like Tesla’s odometers, but for birthdays?
In Dutch, birthday translates to “verjaardag” where “jaar” means “year” and “dag” means day, so the literal meaning of “verjaardag” comes down to “the day you grow one year older”. By that logic, the day a baby grows one month older could be named “vermaanddag”, where “maand” means month. It’s not a real word but it’s a good pun and it would get the idea across. Unfortunately it doesn’t work in English.
Anniversary comes from annum, which means year, so you could have a monthversary maybe
month in latin is mensis (I’m told) so mensiversary
How can you be so sexist that you exclude women by celebrating men only?! /s
I think they get a mensesversary instead, though I don’t think many of them celebrate that one (unless there’s a pregnancy scare)
To be slightly absurd: Every day is a day you are one year older than the same day the previous year
ok
We have “årsdag” in Swedish too, but it’s a general term used for stuff other than birthdays (“födelsedag”)
dag
y’like dags?
My wife has a one month birthday every month as well.
What the fuck is Theodore?
Ted. People tend to have longer names that then get shortened for everyday use.
Is that so, Ma?
Her family is living in the mad hatters tea party
I think it’s rather common around me to throw a tiny celebration each months on the first year. A treat and a small message to the family never hurts 🤷
Plus, 8 months is super round, it’s a power of two and 2/3 of a year ☝️🤓
Lol, you got lots of down votes friend, but I too appreciate the number 8. It’s nice and it’s twice my favorite number.
Poor kid will never get an un-birthday though. 😭
Anyway, happy un-birthday to YOU! 🫵 AND You! 👉
Aww thanks friend! Might be my new favorite number after that whole point about laying it on its side.
Yeah, we didn’t celebrate but we were very aware of each month passing in the first year of our children. Especially since it is a time where they develop very fast. A five month old baby is very different to a eight month old baby. The first year felt like reinventing the whole family routines every couple of weeks.
So, yeah. There are things to make fun of and ridicule about the Trumps, but beeing happy that a person you love and have a conection to is getting older and changing is not one of them for me. Regardless of who is doing it.
His name can only be read as Käidjaik, not Kendrick.
Happy unbirthday Theodore
It is when your tripping balls off bubby’s coke
It’s kind of normal for families to celebrate month-birthdays of babies.
Look, I know you’ve been given enough downvotes so I won’t add to them but this is just not true.
I have what most people would consider a metric fuck tonne of kids and I love the ever loving shit out of every one of them but never once have we celebrated their 8th month of existence.
None of my friends or family have ever done anything so utterly weird either.
It’s just weird. So weird that I question the validity of the original post.
Yeah but I didn’t call my son’s 8 months his “birthday” for exactly this reason
Its not a birthday if its not the day you were born. I can see celebrating it though.
That’s stupid and makes no sense.
I celebrate every occasion that the child’s age doubles, starting from the first second.
Curiosity triggered. Ignoring leap years because it only changes the days a little at the end:
- Second doublings (6): 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 32s
- Minute doublings (6): 1:04, 2:08, 4:16, 8:32, 17:04, 34:08
- Hour doublings (5): 1:08:16, 2:16:32, 4:33:04, 9:06:08, 18:12:16
Day doublings (8):
- 1d 12:24:32
- 3d 00:49:04
- 6d 01:38:08
- 12d 03:16:16
- 24d 06:32:32
- 48d 13:05:04
- 97d 02:10:08
- 194d 04:20:16
⬆️ 27 celebrations in first year of life | up to 7 celebrations past first year ⬇️

See? Much more sensible. You get loads of front-loaded precious moments, and then some very relevant milestones later on in life, only requiring about one third of the overall celebrations!
Honestly? Yeah. I feel slightly bad for some of the earlier childhood years (under 13 or so) that don’t get one. Otherwise, 100% agreement.
My wife, who tends to try to milk her entire “birthday month”, would disagree. A “birthday month” is whichever is most convenient from: the month leading up to, calendar month of, or month leading after her actual birthday.
Those actually line up surprisingly well with real life milestones. I think an argument could be made to celebrate half-doublings after 8y…, but that would lose some of the elegance of this system. Although I guess you just have to calculate the first one (roughly 12y 280d 7h) and then just double those as well (so the others would be 25y 195d 14h, 51y 26d 4h, 102y 52d 8h).
I celebrate every prime number.
I’ll allow it.
Found the programmer.
To be fair, I wasn’t trying to hide.
1 month old, 6 months old, 3 or 9 months old, maybe… but eight? nah, mate. that ain’t a thing.
take your every-month picture for the scrapbook. but ‘celebrate’ or party or to whore-out on social for fake likes? nope.
Yeah, we took photos of the kids in the same chair each month in the first year. It wasn’t like we had parties, but this is normal new baby stuff. Plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the Trumps. Dogpiling on them for shit like this is petty and reinforces the right-wing narrative that the attacks are personal.
The attacks are personal, the whole family are evil fucking Nazis.
Sure but we don’t hate the Nazis because they played card games.
Yes, which is a good reason to hate them. Posting baby pictures is not a good reason to hate them.
I got plenty of personal attacks for them.
If I speak up too loudly my wife and son have to flee the country.
How’s that? Have I earned it? DO YOU MFERS HEAR ME
That’s a valid reason to attack them. Like, physically. Not that I’m suggesting or condoning violence, but they are coming for our freedom. They aren’t doing it in tweets of baby pictures.
