Today is a very special occasion -- the date is a palindrome, meaning it is the same when read forwards and backwards.
It is February 2, 2020, or 02/02/2020, in both the MM/DD/YYYY format and the DD/MM/YYYY format. At just after 2 a.m., it was 02:02:20 on 02/02/2020.
This is the only time such a date will occur this century.
The previous palindrome date in all formats came 909 years ago on 11/11/1111. The next will come in 101 years on 12/12/2121 and after that there will not be another until 03/03/3030.

It's also a palindrome day of the year (33) and there are a palindrome number of days left in the year (333). Quite a unique day!”

I think I'll wait for the 03/03/3030 one.Today is a very special occasion -- the date is a palindrome, meaning it is the same when read forwards and backwards.

AND it’s the 33rd day of the year, with 333 days left in the year!

It's not exactly the same, but what about 02/22/20?
And let's not forget Chuck Woolery Day is today as well....So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Microsoft's OS had no end of trouble with that one. -
My cell # is a palindrome.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Doesn’t work in European format, or ISO date format (which is the most logical, especially for file organization).Alea jacta est! -

Having worked for international corporations (in a regulated industry) for a fair chunk of my professional career, I had date format conventions drilled into me. To this day, I would write today's date as 02January 2020 (or 02Jan2020).

And I, dear Sir, will always store my digital files for today as 2020 02 02, because I want the files sorted by year! 😉mhardy6647 wrote: »Having worked for international corporations (in a regulated industry) for a fair chunk of my professional career, I had date format conventions drilled into me.

(P.S. the spaces don’t matter in Linux/Unix/MacOS, but I tend to remove them in Windows, or add an underscore, because Windows is full of surprises that can never wholly be anticipated over time.)

Yup, that's why I said it's not exactly the same. Good thing I'm not European I guess? So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
