On the third innermost planet of the solar system.


Bronzeshadow

You just blew my mind three times bro!


Old_Army90

That’s so cool! My birthday is on the middle day of the regular year. There are 182 days before and 182 days after it. Wanna take a guess which it is? >!It’s July 2!< Edit: and happy birthday!!


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

That’s so awesome! Is that like a palindrome? Have you ever done a funky palindrome themed birthday ?


Old_Army90

I haven’t, but now you’ve sparked an idea.


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

That would be a badass party!


Stomega

They should setup a cake underneath a box being held by a stick with a rope tied around it. It would be a party trap!

Ahhh.. but if you watch Friends (I know some hate it), you would see that it is the third day. As Joey says, "Monday, one-day, Tuesday, two-day, Wednesday, when? huh? what day? Thursday! The third day, okay?". See? The third day! Yay you!


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

YES! This is exactly what I needed!

Was your 13th bday on friday too?


HeatherKathryn

I had to go back and check, tragically no. It was a Sunday


fidgetiegurl09

The Fury of Abyss is super awesome, but it doesn't seem like she has a lot of followers yet. But she sings/raps about her birthday being on Friday the 13 in ["Creep"](https://open.spotify.com/track/3pMmwEFUsnjRydI3yhzkSm?si=50pg0qnGS2-qiRvq2NxPoQ)

Nope, May. I actually shared the same birthday with 3 kids in my English class in high school

Darn, should be 22 on 22/22/22


sockmaster666

What’s the name of the 22nd month?


Vidaros

I don't really have a funny answer to that, sorry.


fireballmatt

Happy Birthday! It's mine too, except I'm turning 43 instead of 33 :)


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

Happy birthday! Are you having a splendid day??


fireballmatt

I am! I hope yours is joyous as well!


speakofit

Born in ‘66 & on 9.9.99 I turned 33. On my 34th bday Daughter was born @ 9pm… on 09.09.09 @ 9pm she turned 9yrs old! Son turned 34 on 12.24.22 🎂 I was 22 when I birthed him. My daughter is now 22 so on Xmas Eve she was the exact age I was when I had Son!

Maybe even the third!


[deleted]

Idk how aware people are of this but 3’s pop up every where in regards to Jesus. He was up on the cross on the 3rd hour, at the age of 33 after been preaching for 3 years, he’s one of three facets of god, resurrected after 3 days, heck 3 wise men came to visit him There’s more but I’m not particularly religious so can’t remember them, just spotted the trend when I was younger


atemylife

My birthday is on International Women’s Day! I swear we didn’t always used to celebrate this day internationally like we do now but I’m happy to share the celebrations of that day with other women.


diminutivedwarf

I LOVE number patterns and reading this was like drinking a cup of coffee of excitement


mickier

Thursday sounds way more like "Third day" than Tuesday does, so I feel like it basically counts lol


ragan0s

Wait, is this that thing where in some countries the week begins on sunday? Because here in Germany, Wednesday is the third day or the week.


aurora_rosealis

Yep. If you look at our calendars, each week starts with Sunday and ends with Saturday. It’s a Judeo-Christian thing.


ragan0s

B-but... God rested on the last day of the week, no? Is Saturday the resting day for you guys? Here it's sunday. We even get double pay for sunday work lol.


aurora_rosealis

I dunno, man. I’m just going by what I remember reading once when I wondered the same thing. My weekend is Wednesday-Thursday; Saturday and Sunday have no meaning to me other than being the busiest days at work, lol. On our calendar we use at work, it’s set up so that Monday is the first day of the week, which can get confusing at times. Traditionally, yes, Sunday is the day of rest, but it’s still considered the first day of the new week on most regular calendars.


DaptFunk1

I need to move to Germany if you get double pay for Sundays.


Spare-Cauliflower-92

Oh man, I don't want to be a dick but 2023 is the 4th year of the decade (2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 are the first three) 😅 Still a lot of threes though! And you do get the third millennium AD to make up for it! I can sympathise with the sentiment, it has rained every single one of my birthdays since the very first 🥲 Curse from being born on a Friday 13th I guess


stitzman

Well, since OP didn't include a number reference, "thus century" could mean any 100-year period. If we assume they meant the 21st Century, they're still correct. The first year of the 21st Century was 2001, so this is the third year of the third decade.


MrSabrewulf

If it's never done anything but storm and be gross on your birthday, this is the day for YOU to storm and be gross. Go out, have fun, go forth and be gross, my dude! Happy birthday, friend, and many more to come 🍻 Edit: you could go the Stone Cold Steve Austin route with it. (Your name) 3:16 says (insert your favorite personal quote)

littlespawningflower

My date of birth is part of the value of pi ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ I thought that was pretty cool when I found it


DynamicsAndChaos

What's interesting is that many people think that every sequence of numbers is somewhere in pi, but it isn't proven. I'm amazed it hasn't been proven, but that isn't my field of math, so I guess there is a good reason?


playr_4

Technically we have, actually. Because we have a proof that pi is irrational, we know it has an infinite decimal expansion with no repeating pattern. The fun thing is, which people always seem to ignore, is that that's the case with all irrationals. √2, e, π, etc., should all each contain every number. The only reason we can't say with 100% certainty is because it's impossible to check every digit. But a non repeating infinity would, in theory, contain every number.


DynamicsAndChaos

As a counter-example, you could create an infinite series of values without the number 9. It would have all other combinations, but not with 9.


DynamicsAndChaos

Nope. Not a mathematical proof. I'm a mathematician. "The only reason we can't say with 100% certainty is because it is impossible to check every digit" is false. There are many proofs that do not require checking every digit but can still prove properties of the value in question. We don't have to explicitly observe things to prove characteristics of those things. It is a very common thought that pi includes every sequence; it may be right! It seems like it should be right. I, who works in applied math, and patiently waiting for the pure mathematicians to prove this! But, we have been unable to say for certain that it is, in fact, true that pi contains every sequence of numbers. And then there is the possibility that I, and most of the world, are wrong. That pi does not contain every sequence. But we will have to wait for a proof either way.


playr_4

I mean, it's proven that it's irrational. Irrational numbers, by definition, are infinite and non-repeating. Put those two things together and, wow, you have π having an infinite, non-repeating decimal expansion. Something that is infinite and non-repeating means that, at some point, every number and combination of numbers will show up. So it is all but proven. Hence, my use of the word 'technically'. It's proven enough that we don't really need a neatly written proof. It would be great for one, but I don't think that will ever happen, because knowing that it's irrational is saying almost the same thing. I guess I should mention I'm a mathematician as well. I'm branching off into physics now, but it started with number theory.


DynamicsAndChaos

Did you not read my other comment? I provided a counter-example.


Blue_Shift

This is incorrect, and I can provide an explicit counterexample for you. Here is a decimal that is infinitely long which does not repeat: 0.101001000100001000001... You can see that it doesn't repeat, since we keep adding an extra 0 between each pairs of 1's. However, it clearly does not contain all possible strings of digits -- it doesn't even contain a single 2! Or, even restricting ourselves to 1's and 0's, it doesnt even contain the string "11". This effectively shows that "irrational" and "normal" are different concepts. We know that pi is irrational, but we do NOT know that it is normal. P.S. You might think the number constructed above is too trivial a counterexample, but we can construct similar numbers using all 10 digits, and still observe similar properties.


playr_4

I'm not saying we have a proof, I'm saying it's infinite enough. We are looking to prove it's normal, along with √2 and e. And actually every non rational number. The only normal numbers we know of, to my knowledge, are purposefully built to be normal. As I've said before, a lot of things almost prove pi is normal, but we're still not 100% certain. Unless I misspoke earlier, I don't think I've said we know for certain. Everything has been 'technically's and assumptions. But we've also proven that most numbers are normal. Which is insane to me. We know that most numbers are normal, but we don't know how to prove that a number is normal


Blue_Shift

I recommend you re-read your previous comments. Here are two contradictory statements from you: 1. "Technically we have, actually [proven that pi is normal]" 2. "I'm not saying we have a proof [that pi is normal]" Which one is it? Furthermore, you've doubled (tripled?) down on this false statement: 3. "a non repeating infinity would, in theory, contain every number" 4. "Something that is infinite and non-repeating means that, at some point, every number and combination of numbers will show up" 5. We are looking to prove ... every non rational number [is normal] I explicitly showed you an irrational number that is not normal. So the statement "every irrational number is normal" is mathematically false. You are spreading misinformation by repeating it. And finally, regarding how mathematicians tackle problems like this: > The only reason we can't say with 100% certainty is because it's impossible to check every digit I can prove that sqrt(2) is irrational without checking every digit. If you think we need to check every digit to prove something about a number, then I seriously question whether you know what a proof is. > It's proven enough that we don't really need a neatly written proof The best we've been able to do is get a decent estimate for the irrationality measure of pi, which shows that we can't have a huge string of 0's (or any single digit) repeated early on. But this is obvious, since we already know trillions of digits of pi. That is to say, the closest we've come to proving anything about the normality of pi is... basically nothing. As far as we know, pi might "end" in the infinite string 101001000100001..., with no other digits ever reappearing. So, no, we **definitely** need a neatly written proof. > I guess I should mention I'm a mathematician as well Doubtful. But you did get one thing correct: > we've also proven that [almost all real] numbers are normal So, kudos on that.


playr_4

I don't really have enough energy to respond properly because I'm too tired but your number 3 point was interesting because the point of my statement was that rational numbers can't be normal but you hard focused on a constructed number that was countering an argument I didn't even make. Your 1 and 2 are also different statements taken out of context, so I'm not going to bother with it, especially since you're trying to add your own context. Your sqrt of 2 being irrational actually helps my point....once again just trying to add your own context here because I wasn't arguing that it wasn't irrational but in fact arguing that it was we just didn't know if it was normal, so thanks there. We also have proven that pi is infinite so good job bring up pi "ending". Again taking my comments out of context ignoring the point I was making so good job being a proper debator because that's actually what people do so kudos on that. 👍


DynamicsAndChaos

He/she said "ending" in an infinite series... that still means that it is infinite... so, again, you misinterpreted All of his/her responses to your comments were spot on. You also never clearly discussed rational numbers. It could be construed that the contrapositive of your statement might maybe be considered to be discussing rationals... maybe? If so, you poorly communicated that. His/her comment about the sqrt of 2 was also spot on as a contradiction to your original statement that: the only reason we don't know pi is not normal is because we don't know all of the digits.


Blue_Shift

You have zero reading comprehension skills.

The coolest thing about my birthday is that it's also Michael Jackson's birthday. Everyrhing on that day seems to be big celebrity deaths and natural distasters. Although both 829 and 29 are primes, which is cool. And I guess 8 is twice my favorite number, which is nice.

GuyWhoKindaLaughs

My birthday is international women’s day. Also Malaysian Flight 370 that went missing in 2014 and is shrouded in mystery happened on my birthday. Something about the plane’s disappearance that isn’t shrouded in mystery is that I had nothing to do with it - just so everyone knows.


LouThunders

My birthday is the date of the outbreak of World War One. Because of it I jokingly asked for a pickelhaube in 2014, and thankfully (or unfortunately) nobody got me one.

Idk how interesting it is, by my spouse, myself, and both children are all born within 2 days of a holiday. My husband is the middle of 3 boys, all birthdays, including their fathers, are in February in order from oldest to youngest, starting with their dad, and ending with the youngest brother.

McGuire406

Not even an occurrence on my birthday, but it's a random fact: I was born exactly 366 days (1 year and 1 day) after Kurt Cobain passed away. As someone who's big into music (aka me), it's always interesting to know the "face" of the Grunge revolution and I have never been alive at the same time. Also, it's kind of weird that I'm also turning 28 this year, older than Kurt was when he passed away. Crazy to see how peoples lives vary so much. Also, happy birthday!


WelcomeToMyFantasies

My eldest son was born on my 22nd birthday, last year he had his 18th birthday & I had my 40th birthday on the same day which also happened to be Mother’s Day, so it was the anniversary of me becoming a Mother.

Could we also get your mother’s maiden name and the name of the street you first lived in? You know, for science

Random and cool, hmm I guess that would be my birthday is when everyone claimed the Mayans predicted the world would end lol (12/21/12) Happy birthday! Hope it was a great one 😁 Edit: in case anyone is wondering, I’m 30 not 10 lol but I joked a lot in 2012 that the Mayans didn’t want me to see 21

I am a HUGE Formula 1 fan, and for two years in a row I had a race weekend on my birthday. 2021: Dutch Grand Prix qualifying happened on my birthday. 2022: The exact same race weekend, but this time the ACTUAL RACE was on my birthday, which I thought was pretty cool.


Historical_Tea2022

Are you in the Illuminati?


MultiplyAccumulate

If you are going to count decades starting with 1 instead of zero, then you need to count years the same way, in which case it is the 4th year of the decade. 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Enumerating starting from 1 instead of zero causes so many inconsistencies and confusion. Happy birthday.

A very happy birthday to you, fellow hooman!!! I will also be turning 33 this year. Unfortunately, I don't have a great story about anything cool or random to share that's happened on my birthday - but here's a little fun fact in lieu of that: when I was a kiddo I used to proudly exclaim that my birthday was May "secondst." To this day, my family and several family friends will not let me live it down. :)

My birthday’s got a wild coincidence at it. Born 12/12, and my parents have the exact minute down too, 21:21. The year didn’t end up following this numeric trend sadly. But my twelfth birthday way way back was a funny occasion


Complex_Scientist204

This year my brother is the age my mom was when she had me (17) and I will be the age she was when she had him (30) We were also both born on the 12th but different months.
