A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying “I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!” with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying “this isn’t how birthdays work”
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.
It is when your tripping balls off bubby’s coke
It’s kind of normal for families to celebrate month-birthdays of babies.
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 ⬇️
- 1y 23d 08:40:32

- 4y 93d 10:42:08
- 8y 186d 21:24:16
- 17y 8d 18:48:32

- 68y 35d 03:14:08
- definitely dead
- 136y 70d 06:28:16
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!
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).
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.
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
Did you ever say “happy birthday” to them on those months?
I honestly don’t remember, but it’s entirely possible we said “Happy 8 month birthday!” I didn’t tweet about it, but I didn’t tweet at all.
Otherwise, I agree with you completely, I just think when we’re sending American children to death camps, the first (third?) family’s social media habits aren’t on the list of hills to die upon.
That’s true regardless, but when they say “Look how absurd the left is being,” it’s better when they don’t have examples like this to point at.
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.
Gross, they’re making more of them.
I was hoping Barron would turn out somewhat less psycho, but by all accounts that apple hasn’t fallen very far from the tree at all
Yeah and let’s note that he’s clearly been on HGH, gender affirming care, since he was a teen.
You can literally ask any AI if being 6’7" at his age (or any of his heights/ages following the years where they started HGH) is normal, and it will voluntarily tell you while it can possibly be normal, in general no, it’s a sign of excess growth hormone and the person should be screened for acromegaly or Marfan’s. Per Trump, Barron has no diseases (yes, he’s been asked about this before because his son is so tall), he is just that tall.
If Barron was as many standard deviations short as he is tall, he’d be 4’7".
He was not only given HGH, but so much of it that it potentially risks his heart and could be part of why he has alleged mental/brain issues.
Every fucking accusation is a confession with Trump - can’t give trans kids puberty blockers, that’s abuse, but you can accelerate their aging with excess HGH ig
You’re missing my point. I would rather they’d not have bred. I’m not saying to harm or judge the kids as babies…
I sense you’re one of those people who argues with people who prefer not to have children, telling them they’re lacking any purpose in life because they didn’t breed. Hope that’s wrong but this comment gives off similar vibes.
Edit: looks like the downvoters are exactly the type I described
“now remember, you have a chance to go against your family, be disowned, lose all your possessions and shortcuts in life, but do something positive in life”
“I’ll weigh my options and give it some consideration”
and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself
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
How can you be so sexist that you exclude women by celebrating men only?! /s
To be slightly absurd: Every day is a day you are one year older than the same day the previous year
