Okay, but let’s spread a tablecloth on you first, okay? Hygiene, don’tcha know. Happy birthday to all! And many happy returns! May next year be better than this past one. ---

Yeah, I was gonna say, that sounds kinda sticky and not as sanitary as one might wish. Nice thought though. Happy Birthday, y’all! ---

I may have some cake but no way am I doing the Happy Birthday thing! Neither one has ever said happy birthday to me! They never like my posts, or upvote me or give me any of those little heart award things. ---

> [@mordecaiB](#): > > They never like my posts, or upvote me or give me any of those little heart award things.- Um… here, have some birthday cake while I ‘splain some stuff about the SDMB and how we eschew those lame tokens that lesser boards succumb to. See, you don’t need those gimmicks to _feel_ da luv, amirite? You’re feelin’ it now, arntcha? ---

I saw the little cake icon next to @Spice_Weasel’s name on her birthday, and it was the first time I’d remembered seeing that. Does Discourse do that for everybody who has a birthday on file? ---

Hey, thanks! For some reason this didn’t come to my attention until now. Another year older and… wiser remains to be seen. ---

Does Discourse do that for everybody who has a birthday on file? Yeah, and if you tap the hamburger icon, you’ll see an entry that says “Cakeday.” [Here](https://boards.straightdope.com/cakeday/anniversaries/today) That takes you to Dopers’ birthdays and anniversaries. ---
