Facebook turns 12 today! It honors the event with a custom video for millions of its active users. The occasion, which the company is calling “Friends Day,” is meant to celebrate real-life friendships through photos and life events.

Since 2011, the company more than doubled its number of monthly users to 1.59 billion people — all of whom helped the company post record profits in 2015. Facebook says that in the same time period, the degree of separation between a pair of Facebook users has decreased from 3.74 degrees to 3.57, an example of “how closely connected the world has become.”
