So today is the 246th anniversary of the day the USA officially announced its independence from the British Empire with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Depending on who you talk to, we (the US) are either a success or a complete failure. But its our birthday so shut up and give me a piece of cake. :-P

I am not saying that one or the other has done better in their history. Both have fucked up at some point. And I say that as a German, we invented fucking up.
I only have wafers as a snack, the cakes are out in June :)
Forgot your cake, here you go! 🌠🧁 It's a spacecake. And these 246 years, is that a round number in inches? Sorry, it's already 3 past beer here.
The USA is 20.5 feet long
And in some places, apparently, quite high. 😁🤟
I'm pretty toasted right now for sure lol
The perfect way to celebrate. I'm glad that a different view of this day has reached me. I'm also joining in here and sitting on your virtual sofa.
Sitting here in Scotland, one of the empires last colonies, i wish you a happy independence buddy. 👍
I hope you got the cake!
Happy birthday 😁 how about some ice cream! 😋
As a Brit I'd go with that. Who did what 246 years ago happened for good or bad and we cant change it so lets celebrate with our American cousins :D
Happy 4th of July
