Palindrome and ambigram day

Yesterday was 22-02-2022 here in New Zealand, several of us posted memes on social media yesterday. Today, that merriment was repeated when the date arrived in the USA, though with the less elegant “02-22-2022” marker. It’s one of the few times such special sequence of numbers in dates worked better in our date arrangement format.

At any rate, the whole “Twosday” thing was a bit of fun. A set of twins was born in Auckland on 22-02-2022, and while the time—around 11am—wasn’t exactly special, the twins were born two minutes apart. The births were the result of a pre-scheduled caesarian, but does that really matter? In future years, the twins will be able to tell the story (and their parents will probably tell it until they’re able to do so). The parents probably really didn’t realise the “significance” of the date: I certainly didn’t until I checked facebook yesterday morning and saw the first post about it that I’d see that day.

And, anyway, it was all just a bit of fun. With everything going on in the world, we needed that.
