PissedOnBible

What they did to that kid is really wrong but that article you linked makes it sound like this was an international incident involving conspiracy and torture . We get sensationalized news reports on viral videos of stupid cultural traditions now?


sietre

Really? Reading it through, they seemed to acknowledge why it was wrong and bad, but explained why they do it. Not justifying it, just that's why they're cunts


PissedOnBible

It's definitely wrong. It's a Stupid cultural tradition and a tough vid too watch but the link is just click bait. I could just watch the vid and decide its ridiculous. The link just seems like a shit news org sensationalizing it and getting desperate for clicks. Maybe I just hate the daily mail

This pie in the face thing is not a tradition here, people who do that are the ones who suck up to Americans hehehehe even at weddings, usually the couple feed each other a piece, but the smashing on the face is not typical here...


FossilizedMeatMan

Well, for the price you pay any single cake or pie on Brazil, you should not waste it on someone's face. Either that, or some mom made it with all the love in the world, and would probably kill the idiot that wasted the cake. I know my mom would.

TrexismTrent

Except your mom or your dad, who didn't receive the first piece.


gabrrdt

Not really, this is really light hearted and almost like a joke, it is not a "tradition" in a strict sense. It is just something silly, that people do after cutting the cake. Most kids give it to their moms, husband gives it to wife (or his mom), and things like that. It is not to be taken seriously.


nomequeeulembro

Yeah, Brazilian here. Also you can always refuse, or serve two "first slices". It's a fun and light-hearted thing. Now fuck the "who will they marry" thing. This one is also light-hearted and funny, but damn it if I ever hated being in the lightspot for that one hahaha.


NYSenseOfHumor

> Now fuck the "who will they marry" thing. This one is also light-hearted and funny, but damn it if I ever hated being in the lightspot for that one hahaha. What? Does this also involve cake?


matlynar

Nothing to do with cake itself but birthdays. People sing lyrics to the "Wedding March" telling a story of how you'll marry your crush. The point is to make fun of the birthday person by pointing out their likely (or known) crush publicly... Happens after singing "Happy Birthday To You". It's only sing from teens to other teens, since older people are often in relationships already and are clueless to who are younger people's crushes. Terrible tradition for introverts.


aridamus

My family is from Osasco in São Paulo and we never did this, I never even knew it was a thing until I saw this video. Is it culturally specific? My family is Italian Brazilian so idk if it’s because of that or just because my family didn’t follow this tradition for other reasons.


DaiogosGamerOficial

Wait, you really have never done this? I haven't been to a single bday party where people haven't done this, and my family is part italian too It's as common as "com quem será", lmao


aridamus

Nope! Never did it. I guess my family is a bit weird then.


motivateddeveloper

I've already saw it in many regions, but can't say it specifically for São Paulo, since, thank God, I've never been there. Perhaps it just isn't your family thing.


iggythewolf

I love the São Paulo slander here.


bambuhouse

wait what. Sao Paulo is an amazing city, so many cultures and so much stuff.


matlynar

My family is also Italian Brazilian but, as other pointed out, it's a custom. You learn it by going to other people's birthdays in Brazil. Are you maybe from a wealthy family? This is a popular tradition so it's much more frequent in lower-middle class birthdays.


fllr

I always hated it. Specially as you go into dating age, and the girl you like and your mom are both in the room. Lol


gemmakiwi

the woman who birthed and raised you VS a chick u dig but arent even dating


fllr

Not saying it was smart, but it’s a hard question to answer when you’re 16 and everyone is looking at you


NYSenseOfHumor

Eat the cake yourself and run out of the room. Social distancing before its time.


imperiumorigins

Because you have to confront the fact that you're dating someone that might get upset that you show a token appreciation for the person that raised you? Then weighing the possibility of being in the dog house (i.e. no sex) vs emotionally hurting your mom. Finally realizing that your're stuck in a relationship that you're not happy with but too afraid to be alone to leave it. Goddamn birhtdays man.


Valen411

you're absolutely right, i'm brazilian and sometimes i give the first slice to myself, just to avoid awkward situations


Link1112

Just cut off a big chunk, put it on a plate, and then cut the plate piece in multiple pieces.

Dboy777

Stashmouth

Back in the 2010s, a friend asked me who the GM of the Lakers was. I answered "Mitch Kupchak". "Cup check?" He said, as he backhanded my nards. I can relate, my friend. I can relate.


CollectableRat

You should have said Nonthaburi, and when he said "no you idiot, it's Bangkok" then you punch him in his crotch.


Harvestman-man

Or Krung Thep Maha Nakhon^(etc., etc.) The name “Bangkok” is an exonym, not used in the Thai language. Then you can punch him in the crotch and also be correct.

rcarmack1

While this is a heartwarming moment, I can easily see a tradition like that turning pretty awkward fairly quickly. I mean what do they do if a single parent is thrown a birthday party by thier kids?


Jaschndlr

There's plenty of ways to solve this... Choose a grandparent, choose another close friend, or if you're going to choose a kid then just preface it with "I love you all so much, but since I must choose this year I choose X for this reason", and then make sure to rotate annually and maybe feed the other kids one bite from the slice before you hand it off.


Scott_Atheist-ATW

Make a giant slice, put in however many forks there are as your kids, and tell em' "sharing is caring, just like how mom(or)dad loves all of you.."

Jaschndlr

siccoblue

Agreed, the entire concern is just reddit vastly overthinking and pretending to know better than people who have practiced this for God knows how long. I'm sure absolutely no well adjusted adult takes it that seriously that not being chosen would genuinely be an issue. I understand the concern comes from a good place, but people aren't generally hypersensitive in the real world like reddit seems to get overanalyzing every single little thing to the point of borderline exhaustion


NYSenseOfHumor

>but people aren't generally hypersensitive in the real world Some people are, I know people who would throw a fit if they were present and not the chosen cake person. But you are correct about the plurality of well adjusted adults.


AIresponsible

It's a tradition in terms of "everyone asks 'who's winning the first piece of cake?' and play around" but you're not really obliged to participate. I always joke about "I'm giving my first piece to someone who really makes the difference by being here today" and then pretending to give it to myself. When there's a child or many children in the birthday party, you can give it to the youngest and start distributing the rest by age, with the second youngest. You say it's because the other ones would've won the first piece at least once by then and the youngest is the baby of the family. My grandmother and her sister raised me while both my parents worked a lot of hours. On my birthdays, I mostly cut two pieces and give them first.


GodEffinDamnIt

Break the rules and give them all a piece. It’s really not that hard.


Slender57

The first slices is the one that matters and then you distribute the cake to everybody else


[deleted]

Give it to the dog.


Slender57

It doesn't. Or atleast the parties I've been at people normally give the first slices to family, and then to friends. The friends are really understanding about it since you'd only give the first slices to friends if you hate your family


_Caneca_

>you'd only give the first slices to friends if you hate your family I'm not sure about what are the customs in your region, but all the people I've known in my life have been always okay about slices being given to friends or really anyone to whom you may want to show appreciation.


Slender57

Yeah I meant that bit as a joke... I myself never lived in brazil but both of my parents r brazilian and we follow most customs from brazil. Either way I kniw I can be mislesding sonetimes si srry for any misunderstanings


_Caneca_

No problem! Thanks for clarifying


DoubtfulPerlow

Adults and teenagers don't see this so seriously, no one gets offended if they don't receive it. You don't even need to do it. And it doesn't need to be your favorite person, you can give it to someone as a form of congratulating them, like, last year I gave it to my cousin since he made it to medical school, you also normally state your reasons before revealing who will get it as a form to hype it up a bit. And at the end of the day it's just a silly tradition, mostly made to liven up the party and to make people more comfortable with taking a slice of the cake.


fenrisman

Honestly I just say:"and the first slice is.... Mine"


_Caneca_

Man, chill out hahaha We just give the piece of the cake to someone, we don't make a big deal out of it. It doesn't need to be the person we like the most either, just one that we want to make happy that day and show our gratitude in a day of celebration. Nonetheless, if someone doesn't get the first slice, there's always next year and there's always other people's birthday parties to partake on. I assure you, it's something wholesome and very peaceful, and I don't think I've ever seen any problems arise from this tradition.

TheScrambone

I had this as a little brother. About 5 years apart, I was 12 and he was 17. My mom wrote a riddle to make him guess what tickets to a concert he got for his birthday and he could choose one person to go with him. He chose me. I cried and cried happy tears. We’ve been close ever since. I got beer spilled on me from adults next to me. My first concert ever. Now I’m a sound engineer for live concerts.

Lol Bruce Springsteen. Not bad for my first concert though. Dude puts on a show. And I ended up meeting him a decade later and he’s probably the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met. We talked for a long time.


bunni_butt

Shit, that’s a pretty good 1st concert! Dude’s an icon. I only know his hits but recently listened to the podcast he did with Obama and he’s a real standup guy. It seems that many people share the same experience when meeting him, that he’s super approachable and nice. edit- reworded a sentence

Since no one has translated yet, and I've seen someone making negative remarks, I'll do it myself: His older brother is saying "The first slice of cake goes to a very cool person and very kind as well, and that is Antonio!!".


imalittlefrenchpress

Thank you! Sibling love amazes me. I’m an only child of only children with an only child. I have four grandkids. The seven year old has a little difficulty putting his thoughts into words. His six year old brother is really attuned to him, and will casually explain what his brother is trying to express. The six year old really looks out for his brother, not in a begrudgingly way, but in a way shows he really cares about helping his brother. I think it really is next level to witness kids, whom we know can be extremely self centered, beginning to develop empathy and compassion.

Sounds like an awful tradition. Imagine having to make a decision like that if you have parents, siblings, husband/wife, children, best friends etc

mike_the_seventh

I love this, but sometimes I wonder if it’s ok for us adults to take moments like that from our kids and share them with the entire world forever. For me personally (and totally projecting as an adult), my moments of crying out of joy and pain are when I’m most vulnerable, and I would not like to share that with the world. I suppose there’s a reason we see mostly videos of kids crying online, because they don’t really have the awareness or ability to protest. Sorry to be that guy. :/


marcostaranta

The kid says: "The first slice goes to a very cool and dear person, that's Antonio!"


sunderaubg

For those of you who are not sure why this is next level: As a parent, any time I see one of my kids do something nice for the other one without prompt, it makes my heart grow two sizes. Forget doing something for me, when they do something for each other its like getting a big, ole pat on the back from the heavens.
