Fun Fact about upcoming dates

[KarateKen]

We are in a ten-day stretch where all ten days in a row read the same way forwards and backwards. Also known as a palindrome.  

5/20/25

5/21/25

5/22/25 (this one is my favorite)

5/23/25 

5/24/25

5/25/25 (this is my second favorite)

5/26/25

5/27/25

5/28/25

5/29/25

Interesting observation.

today for me is the one day of that stretch that works 25/5/25 

knowing someone will say something; Australia does DD/MM/YYYY format. 

If the dates you were listed were below like 12 for the physical day and zero context of where you were from; I would have read It the above way not MM/DD/YYYY.

Im jealous though that you guys have so much fun stuff to go "huh that's cool" with dates.

Ah, good point.  I didn't consider that different countries read the dates in a different order.  

This was brought to my attention by a friend you sent me a text about it, I just thought it was interesting enough to pass along.

True its always fascinating to find out new things; even if it is different to what is the "norm" for you.

It's almost over.  What is left of today, and then tomorrow (5/29) will be the end of it.  It was fun while it lasted.  Kind of.
