When people post on Facebook, on their own status "Happy Birthday Mary" and they don't tag Mary or put it on her wall or anything. Like Mary is probably not even going to see that.

possible explanations:

1. MARY HAS BLOCKED YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID AND YOU CANT SEE HER PROFILE

2. MARY is a bible or otherwise historical character

3. RIP MARY :(

Maybe Mary doesn't have Facebook but said person would feel bad if not openly saying HBD?

4. MARY has blocked the poster, but the poster still remembers her birthday and wants to post about it no matter what

what don't you understand?  It's just our fictitious representation of how many times around the sun we have obtained.  your birthday just signifies that you have completed that many "years"(revolutions) and are starting your age + 1 years of life.  which is based on a fictitious way of counting our perceived time in this universe.

pretty simple really.

My wife celebrates her birthday like 5 times over the course of 1.5 weeks every year.  I don't get that.

I don't understand why you chose to call the only quantitative thing about it fictitious. The representation is honest and the metric is measurable.

I was viewing it from the context of the universe.  We are the only ones who can perceive it, so it is measurable from our point of view.

I suppose we don't track the orbital periods of many planets outside our universe, why should I expect anyone outside our universe to track ours.

fiction for thought.

well there has to be consciousness(or equivalent) present to acknowledge it, so like all great answers, it depends.

consciousness is more likely to be fictional than birthdays in my estimation

consciousness is infinitely more viable than the view of birthdays being in any way relevant.  if the earths revolution was twice as fast or vice versa then i am way "older" or "younger" than I am right now.  birthdays mean nothing other than our fictitious meaning for them.

you didn't say there were not relevant, you said they were a fictitious representation of how many times around the sun we have obtained ant that your birthday just signifies that you have completed that many "years"(revolutions) and are starting your age + 1 years of life and which is based on a fictitious way of counting our perceived time in this universe.

my point was there is no such thing as time, it is relative in our understanding of it.  we use our clock system based on oscillations of an atom, which is what we perceive but is not the governing essence of "time" in the universe.

therefore, fictitious.
