This was a triumph

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

I love how the OP must be confused about the thread you started, haha

I actually learned this on piano, can confirm it's the best

I love everyone in this thread. Thank you for reminding me that I still know both of the songs.

The gen gap is showing

we aren't the latest gen of gamers anymore 😭

I never played portal and I once knew this reference, but it has been like a decade since I heard it

Idk why people are so surprised. I wouldn't expect the majority of current MC players to get the reference.

I'm a cook at a college retail space. All the employees except my supervisor and I are all college students. I asked one of the older ones yesterday if they had ever watched Scrubs and they said "No I've never heard of it." It hit me that he was just a baby when the show came out...

FUCK this post made me feel old lmao

Look, kid, let me give you some advice. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK! Get MAD! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see Life's manager! Make Life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon to burn your house down!

Science isn't about why. It's about why not! Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you’re fired!

Yeah!! Take the LEMONS!!!

"You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint. Hahaha! All joking aside, that did happen - broke every bone in his legs. Tragic. But informative. Or so I'm told."

Rip my favorite shirt that went missing in 2015 (cave Johnsons' combustible lemonade) I've tried to find a replacement, but I got it as a random grab bag and haven't been able to find the design anywhere

Drink powerthirst

I just felt my body mummify

I know I can't be this old

Bro portal was only a few years ago, right?

My hair got greyer

My face just got wrinkler

I still remember when Notch first announced there would be cake in minecraft.. every single person on the I internet came together to tell him on every platform possible "the cake is a lie" and I honestly dont think Notch understood.. I think he was successfully trolled by all of the internet and it was fabulous. He even posted about it stating the cake was very real lol

You ain’t that old

It wasn't even that long ago? Right? 2007. That's not long ago.

Oh my god, i feel old

Same ... Ahahah

And i'm still alive 🎶

I literally said the same thing as I saw the post, I'm only 23

I came here to say this lol

I'm a teenager and I feel old for someone not getting this

I was gonna comment that the op is prolly too young for the internet and realized im just old..

Bruh other kids just don’t know

Im young and I get the reference

my first thought when seeing this post

Jesus, me too.

Literally only opened this to say this 😭

Me too... I'm only 15

NO PORTAL IS NOT THAT OLD. YOU ARE THE LIE.

Ahhh… mr freeman

Yeah come on it’s only been…

Gordon, freeman

Its a refrence to the game Portal. In the game you are told that you will get a cake after completing all the tests. It turns out the cake is fake tho. Thats why "the cake is a lie"

Nah, the cake was real. Glados snuffed out the candle at the end as proof

"The cake is a lie" is written across the wall on some walls in hidden parts of chambers

In addition to what everyone else is saying, GlaDOS also never promises to give you cake. What she says is "There will be cake."

“The cake is a lie” is also written on the walls in some dough Rattmann hideouts, thus birthing the phrase itself

Not just missing out on cake, your character is slowly lowered into and oven.

It’s a reference to the portal franchise. “The cake is a lie”

don't feel old, my 7 year old cousin understood the reference

I’m surprised people don’t know what that is

Yeap

When you switch to Lolcat language a cake is called "liez"

Why does no one knows the cake is a lie? It’s so famous…

Fun fact the achievement used to be called “the cake is a lie” but when mojang removed all references of notch they changed it to just “The lie” because they really liked the reference but notch made it so they changed it slightly

Which, iirc, is itself a reference to Super Mario 64.

This makes me feel old

Yeah. Same.

Not so much old, but disappointed in our gaming youths

i’m 15 and i feel old!

This post makes my hair white and my skin wrinkles.

You want oatmeal? I still enjoy it(with raisins, sunflower seeds, sometimes coconut sprinkles)

its a portal refrence

millennials and gen Xers turning to dust

And older gen z

Ah, The.. Inter-net world is in our control for the time being, thanks to you.

I’m not old. I’m not old. I’m not old.

Cries

Portal, go play it, it’s awesome

Sad that younger people don't know legendary games like that

They’re being rereleased on switch later this year

I played it a couple years ago, I was surprised by how little people my age have played it. It’s still one of the best games I’ve played among all of the new releases each year.

I let my kids play it. They suddenly view me as a cool gamer dad.

its on my to play list once i can play it

Yeah, hell I’m 15 and have always adored the portal games. I have Portal 2 for the Xbox 360 lmao

It's awesome because OP can still play it for the first time.

The majority of people on this post are claiming they are 14, know this game, and “feel old” ...

hmmm here are people who are saying they feel old.. I know this reference... I don't think I am old

Yeah old man, you're elderly!

It makes me feel old, and I'm 21.

[удалено]

Fuck I'm old.

Yep, I used to play games on tape, my kid doesn't even know what a cassette looks like let alone know they had game on them. Fuck my kid probably hasn't even seen a CD lol

Portal reference - "the cake is a lie"

[удалено]

It's called "The Lie" because it references the quote from Portal, "The cake is a lie"

THE CAKE IS A LIE

it's one of minecrafts many references to other games

Portal. Play it.

I am not old, you are just uncultured! Hmph!

Has to be this 100%

Thank you for helping us help you help us all

OP just gave half of Reddit a midlife crisis. It’s a reference to Portal for those looking for the answer.

CHILDRENNNNN EEWWWWWW

Because the cake is a lie

Portal

This dude: just karma farming People: wOaH rEaLlY? i mUsT bE sO oLD.

Nah, its realistic that someone who is probably younger and maybe just getting into gaming with Minecraft does not even know that Portal exists, and is genuinly confused by why the achievement for making a cake is a lie.

Because the cake is a lie

No don't do this to me. don't tell me people aren't getting portal references.

Play portal all will be explained

Reference to the "the cake is a lie"

Oh you sweet summer child...

As I posted under another commentor;

Portal reference

Have you ever played Portal?

Do yourself a favour and go play portal

Bro this is so sad, everyone should play portal

It's a reference

It's a reference to portal, where GLADOS said that you would get cake after finishing all of the testing, but it was written on a wall in the game that "the cake is a lie"

Play Portal.

portal refrence

The cake is a lie!

O Dear, its a funny meme:

How to tell people you're very young without telling them you're very young

Portal reference: the cake is a lie

Aaaaand now I feel ancient.

Welp now I feel old

Somehow, and completely innocently, you just insulted me.

The cake is a lie is a memetic phrase originating from the 2007 video game, Portal. In the game, the player character, Chell, is tasked with testing out an experimental gun that creates portals. Chell is given orders by an AI named GLaDOS. Apr. 12 2019

It was a ploy. OP just wanted to start the huge debacle over what it means to be “old” on Reddit.

Op you’re trolling us to get karma right?

'the cake is a lie' was an ancient internet meme from the first decades of the 2000s, preserved by subsequent generations and rediscovered from archaeological digs through youtube comment sections and 4chan screencaps

The history teachers do be looking jealous

Kids these days don't recognize fine aged memes when they see them.

It's a portal reference

Portal reference, your working towards a party with cake in thr first game.

Portal refrance BABY LETS GOOOOOO

It's a portal reference

im surprised that people dont get this reference (portal is an amazing game)

Sit down young one, I’m about to tell you a kick ass story from this old creaky rocking chair that just spontaneously appeared after you asked that question.

So. This is what it is to be old…

Is that reference that old? 😭 it’s from a game called Portal made by Valve

It’s a reference to the portal games, it was written on walls in hidden rooms.

Because the cake is a lie.

We have reached the point where people are no longer aware of gaming humor from the 2010s. I'm starting to feel old.

instantly hit with the "I'm old" realization upon reading this post

Oh my… you wee little ones..

Because the cake is a lie

The cake is a lie

Sit down son, I'm gonna tell you a tale...

Portal reference

The biggest betrayal, it cut deep

The cake is a lie the cake is a lie the cake is a lie THE CAKE IS A LIE AAAAHHHHHHHHHH

It's a reference to the video game Portal

This post just put me in a care home

brb crying and checking into a retirement home

ok, i am aware that the reference is like... 11 years old by now and this is probably being asked because this person honestly doesnt know about portal or portal 2

I just shed a tear.

Lord I've never even played Portal and this post makes me feel old. I guess it's so long to the Minecraft Easter egg videos then?

Oh man

It is reference to a game called "Portal" made by Valve

I give answers not old jokes

Tell me that you are 8 years old without telling me that you are 8 years old.

You're making me feel old :(

This is it bois. Our childhood is dead.

Mortal sin to not know this.

In patch 34, cakes were uneatable in a glitch therefore making it a lie. To learn more about this phenomenon search up minecraft 34

Because you are too young..... and you play on console so you have no culture.

Oh you sweet summer child...

I am mad, sad, and disappointed in you…

Everyday we stray further from god

uncultured swine!

how did you not get the reference :(

If they're 15 they likely wouldn't know portal at all.

now I feel old and I am 14

Oh boy...

Congratulations, you failed the test. Here is your reward. Cake. Enjoy it, you monster.

Damn, how young are you?? Lmao

Ever heard of google?

Is this the real life? Are people actually this young?

This guys is below the age of 10

Lol tell us how old you are without telling us how old you are

You wouldn't get it

you wouldn't get it

You don't get the reference? ok damn you NEVER heard of the cake is a lie easter egg on that particular valve game?

Portal reference

Glad to see the achievement named after a legendary game :)

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days

Fuck do people really not know what that reference is lol

most informed person in the US:

Relevant XKCD

Oh you sweet summer child

Gotta say I didn’t think Minecraft would be around long enough for this to be a question

The times, they are a' changing.

Oh you innocent child... Sit down and let me tell you about the time when Value was still trying to count to 3

This makes my 14 year old self feel really old

I feel so old

GLaDOS would like a word with you

This makes me feel old but its a portal reference

Portal 2 being my favorite game of all time, seeing this hurts

its "The cake is a lie" from portal if ur wondering

"The cake Is a lie" meme, heres why

Technically the cake wasn't a lie but sadly crispy bodies can't enjoy it properly :?(

It's moments like this that remind me how old Minecraft is at this point (and its little jokes like this), and it amazes me that it's still alive and kicking.

Because the cake is a lie.
