Hi @piffy 🙂

FWIW I have installed Animated Avatars on my test site (along with Cakeday 🍰), and I think I can replicate this error. 👍

- Install and enable both plugins
- Use nifty code in rails console \[1\] to set test user’s joined date as a year ago today
- Access `/cakeday/anniversaries/today`
- Error 500

I thought I could try an easier way and do the same on birthdays to sidestep mucking around in the rails console, but `/cakeday/birthdays/today` seemed to work fine.

1. user = User.where(username: ‘Test\_Three’)  
user.update(created\_at: “2022-01-11 00:00:00.00000”)
