Happy Twosday, y’all. I hope I was also able to post at 22 seconds.
P.S. Scrolling through the #twosday tag, I’m impressed by all the people who had screenshots of the exact second. They’re quicker on the fingers than I’ll ever hope to be.
Today is Tuesday, February 22, 2022, which can also be written as 2-22-22 or 22-2-22. In the latter format, we can also write it as 22-02-2022, which if you write backwards would give you the same word (a palindrome). Pretty neat, right?
February 22, 2022! I was informed that this is also “Cat Day” in Japan, because of language puns! Write about a Cat today! Which Cat(s) Have you written about? Write a drabble! Write a chapter! Have some fun!
Today is the only time in your life when there will be so many similar numbers in the date: 02 02 2022!
The 8-digit palindrome that hasn’t happened for more than 900 years.
A palindrome is any sequence, phrase or word that reads the same backward as forward. And 02/02/2020 is considered a “universal palindrome” because it reads the same whether written as “Month/Day/Year" as the United States does, or “Day/Month/Year" as many other countries do.
The last universal palindrome occurred on 11/11/1111. The next one won’t come until 12/12/2121.
Tuesday has nothing to do with 2. It originates from the oldest version of English from the middle ages, where week days were named after the gods, and the day was called Tiwesdag.
Up to around 1500, it’s name was Tewesday - the day of Tiw. Tiw was the god for law and justice.
