the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.

not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying

that’s not generic, that’s from Reddit as far as I can tell. “anniversary” would be generic

Cake Day is from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there’s usually cake?

Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you’re at.

which is why I’m asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I’m not arguing one way or another
