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.

It's kind of normal for families to celebrate month-birthdays of babies.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's stupid and makes no sense.

I celebrate every occasion that the child's age doubles, starting from the first second.

To be fair, I wasn't trying to hide.

Curiosity triggered. Ignoring leap years because it only changes the days a little at the end:

  • Hour doublings (5): 1:08:16, 2:16:32, 4:33:04, 9:06:08, 18:12:16

Day doublings (8):

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!

Yeah but I didn't call my son's 8 months his "birthday" for exactly this reason

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Its not a birthday if its not the day you were born. I can see celebrating it though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

The attacks are personal, the whole family are evil fucking Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Sure but we don't hate the Nazis because they played card games.

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

and stupid. Don't forget stupid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Also evil. Mostly evil.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

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

It is when your tripping balls off bubby's coke

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 ☝️🤓
