As it turns out, there's an upper limit to the number of happy birthdays post-humans can have before they find the whole thing entirely too embarrassing. When the mass of their attics approaches the Chandrasekhar limit, simply from all the tacky gag gifts stuffed away where no one has to see them, most vigitilligenarians find something more interesting to celebrate. Until then, enjoy the cake!
Don't celebrate birthdays, but logarithms or exponents. Gets easier, once the sun is gone.
Yeah it's definitely all about large powers of two of Planck times. Nothing else is actually worth celebrating.
This idea has the bug/feature that you're overwhelmingly likely to have already celebrated most of your "birthdays".
