Facebook Birthdays

Recommended Posts

Since deleting Facebook,  I have missed every single persons birthday in the past 2 years.

How the hell did people know when the fuck peoples birthdays were before?!

Its to the point, and enough time has passed, that I know people are pissed at me about it when the topic of Birthdays are brought up.

Fuck them.

I actually know all important birthdays within 2 days of the actual date.  I'm so glad "belated" is a thing.

But I was going to Arlington yesterday.....it's like the 4th time I've been there this year.....and I have no idea how people got there before GPS.  

I remember my dad having a road map when we went to Alabama....He's a smarter man than I'll ever be.

I don't know about women.... but us guys? We literally just didn't know anyones' birthdays except maybe for immediate family. 

"Hey, guess what? It's my birthday today."

"Oh, happy birthday then."

That's how it went. The irl equivalent of making your own birthday thread wasn't sad because in those days no one would know anyone else's birthday anyway.

You wish to know of the "before times"?

In the days before, they had sticks they called "pencils" and "pens", and instead of screens they had address books and calendars.  They used the sticks to record in the address books, using a code called "writing" and would record names, addresses, birthdays, anniversaries and the like in the address book.  Each year, they would get a new calendar and transfer the names and birthdays onto them.

 

It was all so tediously manual.

People had to remember and actually give a shit back then.  We used stupid wall calendars and wrote shit in them. Terrible times.  It sucks being firmly from before times cuz everyone knows, without a doubt, the only reason I give them a “hbd” is cuz Facebook told me it was their birthday.  You guys get to pretend you always cared, and then can use the idiocracy as an excuse when it’s taken from you. 
“don’t blame me for not remembering on my own. Social media made remembering things stupid”

Don't need a calendar to remember the important birthdays.  But, I do what I always used to do and manually input birthdays into my calendar app and it reminds me.
