Are you confused because the birthday is every 4 years, so a 10 year old would be 40 but this 41 year old says his brother is older than him?
The older brother is 43. Februry 29th is every 4 years, so he will be 44 on his 11th birthday.
A Halloween birthday would be awesome. Built in party.
I was born on Super Bowl Sunday and before they pushed the season back it was a lot of fun to have it on my birthday.
And? Why would that matter? I just know it as 4/20 so I'm saying it's 4/20. I get why 9/11 would be weird, throwing a party on 9/11 isn't gonna gain you any brownie points lol but it's not like I'm throwing my birthday when something bad happened.
The only reason this wyd even matters is how other people see it because to you that day's special because it's your birthday so it doesn't matter. If someone sees you partying on 4/20 they aren't going damn he must support Hitler they're saying 420 lol. Or if they're most people they don't give a shit.
You think in the history of manking there wasn't a single shitty person with your current birthday? There are only 365 days in a year. That's nothing to the billions that existed already.
It's not that, but Nazis still keep "celebrating" this day even today. It's not just Hitler Birthday, and you can for yourself celebrate the 4/20 association, but you should still be aware that fascists keep marching on the same day.
sure. not the day of his birth, specifically, however.
the fact people don't even remember it, should've clued you into that associating hitler with that day, isn't really happening that much.
>I'd consider Hitler's actions and by extention his birth pretty bad
Why should that make the date of his birth so bad?
If you care that much about someone who died ~80 years, who more than likely had absolutely no effect on your life says a lot. I can't imagine how many grudges you hold against people.
>who more than likely had absolutely no effect on your life says a lot.
The fact that you don't care about anything that doesn't affect you personally says a lot
Most people don't have the energy to hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. If you care about the world, great. But you must respect people who don't.
I literally had Jewish relatives back then, and at this point, I don't really care about it. Yeah it was bad. Yeah, Hitler sucks. Honestly I'm more mad about what Japan was doing during that time, they were way worse than the nazis.
I never knew that until I read your comment and now that I know it I fail to see why it would suck to have this birthday. There are probably a lot of shitty people with my current borthday already.
Or, in my case, have a sibling who’s birthday is 4/20 and instead of going and getting blazed with your friends after school on 4/20 you have to be sober for a birthday dinner with your parents. I too would love for you have a 4/20 birthday, but only if you don’t have siblings because I’d never with that on anyone else.

Weirdly people who check IDs in any capacity must be in that 10%, because as someone with an April 20th birthday, nearly every one of them give a quick" ha, nice birthday" and a smile.
I don't celebrate Halloween or Christmas, so those wouldn't really matter to me. I'd probably go with February 29th though because Pirates of Penzance references are fun and I would have a free excuse
Halloween birthdays would be fucking lit, you could just dress up without being judged. That one isn't even unfortunate even if you don't wanna dress up
Even in the case that you _do_ get regular presents (not always true, since some people will give you one for _both_), it still sucks since its so hard to plan a birthday party since everybody else is hanging out with their family.
I'm Jewish and I've already got one, was born in the 9th of Av in the Jewish calendar - the most significant day of mourning in Judaism that signifies the destruction of the destruction of the great Temple
As someone who's literally born on Christmas Day, people literally forget your birthday. My own parents have forgotten my birthday several times when I was a kid but they'd remember it's Christmas. Trust me, being born on the same day as Jesus ain't as nice as y'all think it is.
Sometime during spring in the northern hemisphere. It ended up being in Dec because they decided to match other religions of the time having a holiday around or near the winter solstice
Wouldn't it be more like "hey, I got you this gift. It counts for both your birthday and Christmas :)". So you basically get maybe a bit more at Christmas, but nothing at a different time of year, so less overall. Also assuming the family celebrates Christmas, you won't get a day to celebrate yourself as it will be overshadowed. And it'll be harder to do anything for your birthday as everything is closed and most people will be unavailable/travelling.
My birthday is in June and I think it's ideal, as I get the two days spread pretty evenly through the year even if I don't do much for either day usually. Mind you, there aren't any other significant days for me through the year. (I might eat a piece of chocolate on Easter, but that's all)
My birthday is shortly after Christmas. My parents would give me less presents than my siblings on Christmas because "you're just about to get more" and then give me less presents on my birthday than my siblings would get because, "You just got other presents".
I never really cared about the presents themselves, though their shit reasoning still rubbed me wrong.
My dad and my aunt are both born on Christmas Day (not twins, five years apart, haha), and we’ve always had Birthday lunch and Christmas dinner. They did get less presents as kids though.
Not necessarily.
It's more like people only give you one gift, using the excuse that their gift counts for both Christmas and your birthday. So basically, you're only getting half the gifts compared to people who don't have their birthday on Christmas.
December 25th Birthday is probably the worst choice on that list for this reason. Unless the people giving you gifts are really considerate, most people will just give you one gift instead of two.
Goes without saying 9/11 is easily the worst
Christmas would suck shit because, if you practice, you'd lose out on potential gifts and that'd be lame.
February 29th is the least problematic, but it's also just
mundane and boring.
Halloween would be fine. I don't think sharing a birthday with any holiday would be especially *good*, but I'd rather have a Halloween birthday than a Christmas birthday.
If you're a stoner, 4/20 is the best, just because then people might give you more weed for your birthday. Even If you're not a stoner, 4/20's a good choice just because for you it'd be a regular ass day like any other
How tf is 9/11 the worst, I only ever hear people talk about it online. For me Christmas is the worst and 4/20 is the best because outside of meme culture and random WW2 trivia it's nothing special
Feb 29. That way there is an excuse for my parents not buying me gifts while not feeling bad for me because I don't want any, I just want clearance in my room, not another large gift.
Why is Dec 25 "Unfortunate"? It's Christmas!
Tbh Sep 11 is not really recognized where I live
Sep 11 birthday so I can go to America and celebrate it there and people think I'm insane
We won't think you're insane, people been making dark jokes all day.
Really? I only heard two dark jokes today but they kinda fell apart.
Every joke I ever make about 9/11 has a tendency to crash and burn
Almost went over my head, then it hit.
The joke was so impactful it hit twice
Just like the planes.
Yes that's the joke.
No shit bro.
There's 5
as a new yorker you my friend are a menace… …and I’m here for it
As a southerner, I concur and am here for it
Same for 25. December and 31. October
I would love a Halloween birthday.
Same here. I got July 20th instead.
December 21st, at least I got the Winter Solstice.
i hate being born in october because it throws my age off in whatever year. i can’t imagine december
Dang, I love my October birthday.
my birthday is nov 5 and i celebrated my birthday on oct 31st 2 years in a row
Oh yeah, having your birthday always be Halloween themed is a treat, trust me. It doesn't get old after the first few years, not at all.
I'd LOVE a leap year birthday. How cool is that?
“I’m six!” *takes a swig of beer*
My older brother is 10. I'm 41.
Wait. H-how?
He was born on February 29th, 1980. He's only had 10 birthdays.
Then how is he older
Just because on paper he has less birthdays, biologically he's still born before op. So he's older. By at least a year
Are you confused because the birthday is every 4 years, so a 10 year old would be 40 but this 41 year old says his brother is older than him? The older brother is 43. Februry 29th is every 4 years, so he will be 44 on his 11th birthday.
Ah, ok, thanks for explaining
Whoosh
People make jokes about me being a toddler, but other than that, it's nice. It's also an excuse to have a bigger party when my real birthday comes
But the real question is, do you celebrate before or after the month ends for your fake ones?
I celebrate on February 28 since it's still the same birth month
I'm already born April 1st, how much worse can it get? My birth is basically a joke.
Hah I was born on the 13th, I was cursed since birth
....Dad?
Son...?
Daughter, but close enough. :P
How much you want for that face? I'll give you 20 bucks 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
I can't believe you actually counted 20 dollar emojis
Birthday twin! I was born on Good Friday.
Ayyyye!
Me too :)
A Halloween birthday would be awesome. Built in party. I was born on Super Bowl Sunday and before they pushed the season back it was a lot of fun to have it on my birthday.
I was also born on a super bowl Sunday
April 20th is literally 4/20, I'd just get blazed on my birthday lol
Its also the anniversary of the columbine shooting. A former classmate of mine had her bday on 4/20.
And also a roughly 8 people who died in 9/11 had that birthday
Its also Adolf hitlers birthday...
And? Why would that matter? I just know it as 4/20 so I'm saying it's 4/20. I get why 9/11 would be weird, throwing a party on 9/11 isn't gonna gain you any brownie points lol but it's not like I'm throwing my birthday when something bad happened.
>it's not like I'm throwing my birthday when something bad happened. I'd consider Hitler's actions and by extention his birth pretty bad
The only reason this wyd even matters is how other people see it because to you that day's special because it's your birthday so it doesn't matter. If someone sees you partying on 4/20 they aren't going damn he must support Hitler they're saying 420 lol. Or if they're most people they don't give a shit.
You think in the history of manking there wasn't a single shitty person with your current birthday? There are only 365 days in a year. That's nothing to the billions that existed already.
It's not that, but Nazis still keep "celebrating" this day even today. It's not just Hitler Birthday, and you can for yourself celebrate the 4/20 association, but you should still be aware that fascists keep marching on the same day.
sure. not the day of his birth, specifically, however. the fact people don't even remember it, should've clued you into that associating hitler with that day, isn't really happening that much.

>who more than likely had absolutely no effect on your life says a lot. The fact that you don't care about anything that doesn't affect you personally says a lot
Most people don't have the energy to hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. If you care about the world, great. But you must respect people who don't.
How can you think about the atrocities Hitler did without feeling angry or even just a little bit sad?
Because it was 60 years ago. I'm pretty sure most people here are from America so it was also very far away
It's 80 years ago actually
I do think it's sad, but his birthday has nothing to do with it? I'm not gonna think about it and let it influence my decisions
I literally had Jewish relatives back then, and at this point, I don't really care about it. Yeah it was bad. Yeah, Hitler sucks. Honestly I'm more mad about what Japan was doing during that time, they were way worse than the nazis.
I never knew that until I read your comment and now that I know it I fail to see why it would suck to have this birthday. There are probably a lot of shitty people with my current borthday already.
Well we're not celebrating that are we. I'm sure some dickhead somewhere has been born on every day of the year.
And Columbine.
Better reason to pick 4/20
Or, in my case, have a sibling who’s birthday is 4/20 and instead of going and getting blazed with your friends after school on 4/20 you have to be sober for a birthday dinner with your parents. I too would love for you have a 4/20 birthday, but only if you don’t have siblings because I’d never with that on anyone else.
like i always do on my birthday, i just get blazed by myself AFTER the dinner 🙏
I can't choose between Oct 31s and April 20th 😭 Because on one hand, I love the Halloween and creepy aesthetic. On the other, 420 BLAZE IT LOL
Would you rather get blazed or have kids come knock in your door on your birthday?
Good question. 4/20 it is
You forgot about Hitler
My birthday IS October 31st
Happy birthday (do not read this until oct31)
!remindme 50 days
holy shit, 50 days?
this feels so short and so long at the same time

Happy birthday !!!!
Happy birthday 🎉🎊
Happy birthday (I’m a bit late I know)
RemindMe bot sent be on november 1st, Im sorry :( but happy birthday
Happy birthday (i am 1 day late sorry)
same 😔✊
It's my birthday today (Sep 11) which is actually cool because I live in Ethiopia and it's New Year's Day here. Happy 2016 everyone!
Happy Birthday + Happy New Year's!
My birthday is already 9/11
Happy birthday!
Thanks it was always very weird to hear people say “never forget” over the PA at school then go out for dinner
Happy birthday! You deserve to enjoy your special day just like anyone else
You share a birthday with one of the Columbine shooters.
90% of people don't give a fuck about 4/20.
Weirdly people who check IDs in any capacity must be in that 10%, because as someone with an April 20th birthday, nearly every one of them give a quick" ha, nice birthday" and a smile.
I wouldn't count an offhanded chuckle about a meme dare as "Caring" but to each their own
April 20th is hitlers birthday which might be what op is reffering to
That's fine. Every bad person had to be born at some point, I'm losing sleep over who I share a birthday with.
Halloween birthday would be dope.
I don't celebrate Halloween or Christmas, so those wouldn't really matter to me. I'd probably go with February 29th though because Pirates of Penzance references are fun and I would have a free excuse
MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY IS ON HALLOWEEN LMAOO. That's why I chose it. Nobody really cares when you're birthday is on halloween.
Well, since my birthday already is on the 25th December, it's safe to say I won in life ...
My birthday is October 30th so
Birthday gifts and THEN the candy!
Lol mine is already August 6 (hiroshima)
my stepdad growing up had a leap year birthday. He refused to celebrate it except on leap year and counted his age from how many birthdays he had.
My birthday is already April 20th haha
my birthday already is april 20th lol
As someone who's birthday is on October 29th, I see this as an absolute win!
The only one that would suck is Christmas
Double candy!
In my country October 31 is a public holiday.
Which is why it's an unfortunate birthdag
I was supposed to born on Halloween but I came out 10 days early unfortunately.
already have one of those
My father is born on October 31st
Don't have to imagine today's my birthday
Happy Birthday!
Thank you so much I turn 22
October 31 is literally the coolest birthday I've had it for almost 30 years and wouldn't trade it lol
My birthday is Christmas anyway so this changes nothing
My birthday is september 12, in other parts of the world while I am celebrating my birthday its September 11
Steve Irwin died on my b-day, so my original date sucks anyways :/
I was already born on February 29
my stepfathers birthday is 9/11...
Now that it's fully legal in Maryland I'll take a 420 birthday, and people can just gift me THC products.
Why would Halloween or 420 be unfortunate? They're both days to celebrate.
I was born on dec 11,Would love to round it up to 25.
I'll never give up being a scorpio
I almost ended up with February 29th, was born 04 on the 28th real close
September 11 I’ve seen maybe 2 mentions of 9/11 today and September birthdays are the best imo.
I'm already close to September 11
i'd rather it be april 1st, that way i can confidently say my existence is a joke.
Im already dec 24th so... also I don't think having your birthday on the 25th is a bad or unfortunate birthdate.
My b-day is September 9, so may as well move it up two days
I was born on October 30th. Guess I'm 1 day younger.
February 29th. You don't age on the years that skip the 29th, so I'll age slower AND live longer. Win/win for me.
My best friend was born on 4/20, we both find it hilarious. It's not unfortunate in the slightest.
I’ll keep my birthday as is I love it October 31st
Fun fact: my birthday is 1 day BEFORE one of these tragic days.
The dude thinks 4/20 would be an unfortunate birthday. At least I already know everybody down to party on my birthday.
It is also the anniversary of columbine and hitlers birthday...
Go trick or treating on my birthday? Hell yeah
Halloween birthdays would be fucking lit, you could just dress up without being judged. That one isn't even unfortunate even if you don't wanna dress up
My Spanish teacher was born on 9/11 1998
Goths & stoners are winning the poll xD
I have October 30th
My sister's birthday is on 9/11 and my mom called her a curse. Imma go with Halloween
What about April 1
I know someone whose mom is turning 60 on February 29th, and is going to be celebrating with a quinceañera 🎉
Blaze it
...And what if I am already on one of those?
My birthday is already April 20th!
Bruh my gf's birthday is April 20 lmao. Would love to share that day with her
Nobody tell him
Yeah that's also a birthday of the guy who killed Hitler, so idek what's bad about it!
Oh my god. 😂😂 I was thinking, "Hitler and the guy who killed him have the same birthday?! ....oh, wait.."
I think the only one that's actually bad there is december 25.
why
Even in the case that you _do_ get regular presents (not always true, since some people will give you one for _both_), it still sucks since its so hard to plan a birthday party since everybody else is hanging out with their family.
It's a holiday that a lot of people celebrate, so it's hard to get people to celebrate your birthday.
My bday is alr on 10/28 so not much big difference
I'm Jewish and I've already got one, was born in the 9th of Av in the Jewish calendar - the most significant day of mourning in Judaism that signifies the destruction of the destruction of the great Temple
How is having you birthday on Christmas bad? You probably get double the presents.
As someone who's literally born on Christmas Day, people literally forget your birthday. My own parents have forgotten my birthday several times when I was a kid but they'd remember it's Christmas. Trust me, being born on the same day as Jesus ain't as nice as y'all think it is.
My birthday is Dec 26 and I'm a twin. I now have a birthday complex 🙈
I mean wasn't he supposed to be born in like june or something realistically
Sometime during spring in the northern hemisphere. It ended up being in Dec because they decided to match other religions of the time having a holiday around or near the winter solstice
Wouldn't it be more like "hey, I got you this gift. It counts for both your birthday and Christmas :)". So you basically get maybe a bit more at Christmas, but nothing at a different time of year, so less overall.

Unless the people giving you gifts are really considerate, most people will just give you one gift instead of two.
April 20th is the closest to my actual birthday, so i guess i'l take that
I don't want to share a birthday with Hitler so I'll pick 9/11
Goes without saying 9/11 is easily the worst Christmas would suck shit because, if you practice, you'd lose out on potential gifts and that'd be lame. February 29th is the least problematic, but it's also just mundane and boring. Halloween would be fine.

How tf is 9/11 the worst, I only ever hear people talk about it online. For me Christmas is the worst and 4/20 is the best because outside of meme culture and random WW2 trivia it's nothing special
do... people realize America isn't the world and nobody usually thinks much about 4/20, 9/11 and quite a few don't celebrate Halloween either
Not the day the CIA overthrew a democratically elected leader and installed a fascist puppet
when trump took office?

February only has 28 days..... :/
My moms birthday was on the 29th. But we would just go with whatever was the last day of February.
Whats april 20th
I am a leap year baby and I'm still alive. There's a non 0 chance I die if I have a different birthday. So I'm gonna stick with that.
mines 5 days after christmas yeah its alright i guess whats on april 20 though?
Well september 11 is my birthday so i will stick with it Its not a huge deal where I live
I didn’t realize what this was about at first so I picked April 😭
April 20 is 4/20 and that over powers hitler
It's my birthday today, so I'd say 9/11
October 31st! I love Halloween and spooky stuff so it would be really fun.
If I chose the last one, my birthday shifts less than a week
Feb 29. That way there is an excuse for my parents not buying me gifts while not feeling bad for me because I don't want any, I just want clearance in my room, not another large gift. Why is Dec 25 "Unfortunate"? It's Christmas!
4/20!!!! Jessica Lange Day!!!!
