How to Say Happy Birthday in French

Is this supposed to make no sense? Because this makes no sense.
- Actual context is that iirc the bot posts wikihow titles with a random wikihow image, sometimes leading to hijinks
  
  And here I thought there was some cultural context I was missing, like French people only getting haircuts once a year.
- Welcome to 196 😂 first time?
  
  Can we not turn this into vxjunkies please?
  
  I enjoy jokes that you have to think about for a minute, but I’m also broken, so I will spend an ungodly amount of time trying to figure it out
  
  Yeah well, I guess y'all did good at keeping this an inside joke. After googling for 196, all I get is "We're a shitposting subreddit with moderators that are actively hostile to bigots, bootlickers, and chuds." Clears things up a lot.
- its worse because I was like
  
  "Bon anniversaire?" like "hair?" and was trying to work backwards from there
  
  Same. This one broke me.
Bon aniverse hair
- Now you can open a hair salon in France.
Manon des Sources (1986)
- Jeanne de Florette and Manon des Sources are both astonishingly great films. But I'm not sure I get the connection here. It's been a while since I saw them, is there something I'm failing to remember?
  
  I vaguely recall someone making a ribbon of Manon's hair and pinning it to their skin.
I mean, I don't care about my hair, which is why it's so long, greasy dry, and in a bun. But I would hurt someone that did this to me randomly.
- So you want an appointment? Are you asking me on a date?
