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!

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.

Gross, they're making more of them.

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...

Maybe this is like Tesla's odometers, but for birthdays?

His name can only be read as Käidjaik, not Kendrick.

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.

[–] asmoranomar@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] rasbora@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anniversary comes from annum, which means year, so you could have a monthversary maybe

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

month in latin is mensis (I'm told) so mensiversary

[–] Szyler@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How can you be so sexist that you exclude women by celebrating men only?! /s

Never fails to amaze me how out of touch with reality they are.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

and stupid. Don't forget stupid.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Also evil. Mostly evil.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What the fuck is Theodore?

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ted. People tend to have longer names that then get shortened for everyday use.
