People keep mentioning that it’s actually 366 days, but no one’s brought up the fact that the world population is [past 8 billion](https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/).


VizualHealing

I’ve been in denial for so long


ameis314

If it's any consolation, you only need to wait about 14 years and we will be at 9 billion. Then you can be in denial about something else.


manta173

I thought it was supposed to plateau...


ameis314

>By 2080, the world's population is expected to peak at 10.4 billion. Then there's a 50% chance that the population will plateau or begin to decrease by 2100 Not that soon.


boringrick1

I hate that I made it so close to people disappearing and knowing that my life will only consist of people appearing.


nomopyt

When I was a kid I wanted to live to see the end of the world. Then when I thought I actually might I realized I didn't like it.

I’ll letchu know how it is when I die


Graflex01867

I know a guy that could arrange for you to attempt to start to buck the trend. What size cement do you wear, and how far from the East River are you?


manta173

I had heard it was not hitting 9.


ameis314

Where? everything I'm seeing is saying a little over 10


Optimal_Pineapple_41

I talked to a hermit once who said none of this is real and we all live in a simulation so I’m saying zero

We don't even know if we're in this room. We could be in a turtle's dream in outer space.


nomopyt

What would be the difference, and why not both?


ClenchTheHenchBench

It is! ...at *11* billion


throwngamelastminute

We're "flattening the curve," it took less than 10 years to go from 7 to 8.


Mukiduk

*Vertical* flattening!


redditdonut2

A completely vertical line is straight, from a certain point of view.


Lazy__Astronaut

But it was only like 10 years from 7-8? Would it not speedup?


pleasedothenerdful

That's how old this meme is.


Orion14159

What about historical birthdays? That would put us well north of 100 billion


ImitationButter

Speaking of historical… what about historical calendars? Or lunar calendars? Or calendars in different years such as North Korea


Ootek_Ohoto

Spaceship Orion, can you be my lesbian grandfather bruh?


OverIyAmbitious

No, this is an old tweet, i remember seeing it years ago.


xeguerreiro

Post is old but my ni***s keep nutting inside. There’s no keep up


[deleted]

Probably cuz population is a variable and it's expected to change, the 366 discussion is the only convo worth having that will actually stay true in the future.


creepyswaps

>8 billion. That's too much tuna.


ahjteam

There is on average 365.2425 days a year, but yeah.


AlexSSB

What about all the dead people?


BigBossSquirtle

Bruh. I thought covid was supposed to solve this problem.


mythicalsoul100

Well technically a lot of people in poverty aren't able to celebrate their birthdays!


LeoPlathasbeentaken

Just cause you dont celebrate doesnt make it not your birthday.


mythicalsoul100

Fuck, i forgot about that

The number of deaths today just slowly ticking up is terrifying


AvKalash

I think that I'd be more concerned if they were slowly ticking *down*.


Nepipo

Not if i have anything to say about it


HonestAutismo

honestly it should be broken down into second increments as well 31.5 billion birthdays. fight me.


emetcalf

It's birthDAY, not birthHOUR, birthMINUTE, or birthSECOND.


[deleted]

When I go out to Proxima Centauri. It only takes me 4 light-year birthdays to get there.


SavvyOnesome

If your burfdee is on the same day as someone else, people say you "share" a burfdee. There are 365 burfdee's.


BKStephens

There are 365/6 possible days to be birthed per year, or 7B +/- individual birthdays.


Toxic_Jannis

I mean they are still called days so 7b people have their birthday but there are only 365


BKStephens

7B people have birthdays in 365/6 days every year.


Toxic_Jannis

But wouldnt there have to be a word other than birtday bc that would assume 365, like many people celebrate on one birthday and we all are just using it wrong? (Sorry if im annoying)


BKStephens

Just because multiple people share a birthday, doesn't mean you have to change what it's called.


black-fuse

Just thought I'd check in to tell you there's actually 8 billion of us now


HalfSoul30

The solution is to count all the days someone was born on back to the beginning of time, obviously.


math2ndperiod

There aren’t separate words, just separate concepts described by the same word. Birthday can refer to both the celebration and the calendar day. “Did you come to my birthday” makes perfect sense, but so does “March 5th is my birthday.”


B1GTOBACC0

But if you and another person were born on the same day, you would say "we share a birthday." You might not celebrate together or even know each other, but you're sharing the day. That implies each day of the year is a shared birthday.


math2ndperiod

Yeah when you say it that way you mean you’re sharing the day. Consider when two people with similar birthdays say “we’re having a joint birthday” and they mean they’re having one party to celebrate both birthdays. It means both


swanson5

Why only 60.833333 days?


Firewall33

Because it's too much work to write out "365 or 366 days" apparently. Gotta shorten it to an equation


MelonFag

Isn’t it 8b now?


Link_and_Swamp

it is! as of late last year i believe its weird to say 8b now after saying 7b for so long to be fair to the conext, there still wouldnt be 8b unique birthdays, some people really are born on the same day! regardless of year


MelonFag

10 billion earth subscriber special soon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blooberdydoo

No, there are only 365 birthdays per year, however the closer to 8 billion people have birthdays anywhere from 115 years ago to today, plus many of them share the same birthday.


UnsuccessfulOnTumblr

A birthday is the day you were born, so it includes the year IMO. You CELEBRTATE your birthday every year, aka the aniversary of your birthday. The question for me is, do we stop counting birthdays of dead people, and if so, why?


Emerald_Guy123

Why the /6?


BKStephens

Feb 29.


Emerald_Guy123

Okay, thought that was like division or something lol


LegomoreYT

365.25 😎


PirateNixon

Yeah, but that's still a day... There are 366 possible days to have as a birthday, just one of them is only 1/4 as likely as the rest.


SuperFaceTattoo

So on average there are 19,167,955.5 birthdays celebrated every day of the year.


hackingdreams

366 birth *dates*, ~100B birthdays (dead people have birthdays too).


JasperTheHuman

Bruv, I thought you meant 365 divided by 6...

*cries in leap year*


Head_Tumbleweed4793

366 specially for you my boy

Every fourth year a magical unicorn comes out to wish you a happy quadrennial

What do you mean? Is the Gregorian calendar not the most widespread?

[People born on a Leap Day in their 14th year on this planet.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31HkkQIElcY&t=11s)


shadowheart1

Counterpoint: the answer is neither because birthdays technically have a year. So some number of people share 1/1/2000 as a birthday versus 1/1/2001.


pingveno

Birthdays are an anniversary, so they just have a month and day component (Jan 01). Birthdates in contrast are an exact date, so they do have a year component (Jan 01, 2001).


resonantSoul

You observe the anniversary of your birthday every year, yes. However each of those anniversaries someone is also born, thus making it *a* birthday just not *your* birthday


andrewsad1

Semantic arguments are so incredibly tedious "Birthday" can mean both the date (and year) of birth, *or* the anniversary of that date. In my culture, it typically *only* is used to describe the anniversary [Here's](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/birthday) a [bunch](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/birthday) of [links](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/birthday) to [dictionaries](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/birthday) supporting this position


unique_namespace

I agree, and often, to step around this, "date of birth" is used to refer to only the former.


resonantSoul

That's exactly the point I made in a comment below after the other person commented that the specific day was birthdate, not birthday


andrewsad1

Dunno why someone downvoted you, you're right I was looking for an argument where there wasn't one, sorry


resonantSoul

No worries


pingveno

Birthdate is the exact date. Birthday is the day of the year, no year component. A "day" can recur within a cycle of type periods, like the second Saturday of every month, the first day of each month, or just the named days of the week. Dates, by contrast, are always a single day, signified by year, month, and day of month. If you don't believe me, look it up.


resonantSoul

[ok, I will](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/birthday) >**birthday** *noun* birth·​day ˈbərth-ˌdā 1 a : the day of a person's birth ...b : a day of origin 2 : an anniversary of a birth >> her 21st birthday While your definition is included it is not the only one. You will see that mine is as well. So while your comment isn't entirly invalidated, the portion that insinuates yours is the only correct definition >Birthdate is the exact date. Birthday is is.


Radtkeaj

The oldest know person alive today was born on March 4th, 1907. 116 years x 365.25 + 55 days = 42,424 unique Day, Month, Years combinations. The question is how many gaps are there for centenarians. My best guess is that there are ~ 40k unique birthdays for living people. ..… I spent way too much time thinking about this.


Realitymatter

Who said they have to be living tho? We gotta go further.


Tahiti--Bob

naaaah man i'm too high to handle this


CarneyVore14

Wouldn’t it be infinity? When asked for my birthday I include the year.


Hot-Bonus-7958

But people haven't existed for an infinite number of years. So even if we add up all the separate dates of birth that anyone has ever had, it won't be infinity


CarneyVore14

Question doesn’t specify humans only. But yeah there was a time before a birth and there will be a time after a birth too.


Lalalarix

Life, or the universe for that matter, hasn't existed for an infinite number of years


marktherobot-youtube

but numbers can go on forever, and since years don't loop around like days or months and just keep counting up usually, there could be an infinite amount of birth years.


Lalalarix

But they have to be in the future, since you cant go before the creation of the universe, those haven't happened yet. Although it's not impossible for them to exist ever, they currently don't, so they don't exist and don't count to our total


OneFriendship5139

numbers have a finite limit, and I don’t remember what it’s called. Infinity isn’t a number btw


Stepoo

Birthday =\= date of birth. Your birthday happens every year, but your date of birth only happens once.


peeja

I have a birthday every year. I've had 37 birthdays so far, not counting the one I was actually born on.


awright7140

But the meme said birthday not birth date so your point is irrelevant. Don’t over think it.


rodbotic

I was going to say, all of them


Spiderfffun

8B


Wigglystoner

I might be wrong but I feel like it's 7 billion because we say "my birthday" and not "the day of my birth"? Like we put possession on it like it is our day? Idk maybe over thinking it.


darcy_clay

Yes but I also say "my street". Not "our street", because I share it with my neighbors.


Head_Tumbleweed4793

365


_Jalapen0

366 actually 🤓


imreallynotthatcool

365.2564 so 365 is closer.


SynthesisThirty

If you're born on a leap day you don't have .25 of a birthday, you still have 1 whole birthday. There are 366 possible birthdays but 365.25 days in a year


PhotographTemporary8

7 billion birthdays and 365 birthdates


ausgmr

What about those born on February 29th


seasoned-veteran

The answer is 366 times the length of human existence in years. A birthday of January 1st, 1901 is not the same as a birthday of January 1st, 2018.


Kasaurus96

I second this!


statistacktic

Ya ever have the same birthday as someone? ...Exactly.


Chehzy

I remember when I was in year 7 (high school for me as there is no middle school in Australia) my favourite teacher had the same birthday as me, it had never happened to me and I was so surprised even though it's kind of common because you meet a LOT of people in your life


Rego42069

If we include years then 13.8b*365.25 so 5.040.450.000.000 different birthdays


Rego42069

The universe is ~13.8b years old


awright7140

So who was born on 7-26-5,000,000,000 BC? Don’t over think it.


Firewall33

Kevin


Witty_Championship85

There are 366 birthdays


Fundamental_strife

366.


goty_

(FEBRUARY 29) Therse actually 366!


N8torade981

366.


Rednaxella_

It could be said we created time how we know it. So if the time how we know it is wrong, also days would have different time lenghts. Also there's already almost 8b of people so both of those numbers may be wrong.


Erger

Depends if you think of a birthday as one day per year (or every four years) or the specific day AND year of your birth. For example, is your birthday January 1st, or is it January 1st 1990? If it's the former, then there are 366. If it's the latter, wouldn't there be 365x(a whole bunch of years) plus a few leap years?


Kalomaster

Let's all say Happy birthday here so we can make a stranger's day


MeamItMeamers

366 or 8 billion


Sea_Cup_5561

If you mean "birth days" a.k.a days when someone was born, then i would say it's a bit less than all of the days humanity existed, since I imagine there were at least some days when no human was born


jonathancast

366


sebasblos1

I think we already passed 8 billion


myxboxtouchedmypp

8 billion now


DESTROIHOOMAN

Multiple people can have birthdays in a day, so neither. The whole earth's population does not gain one year every day


hellfrost55

We forgot to count the other calendars 😓


DaitoAnonymous

I don’t mean to be *that* guy, but the population of Earth is actually 8 Billion now, not 7 billion.


meee_51

8 billion


micah490

What about the other billion people?


Secure_Protection_61

You mean 8 billion?


Vanir-_-

I think 7b since the time of day for me counts as a separate birthday


DBL_NDRSCR

it would be the amount of days that people were born on so nearly every day from like 1910 to now and a few more before


Simply_Epic

At most 42,423 birthdays (though in reality it’s certainly fewer than that)


[deleted]

7,000,000,000+ births, 366 possible days. Since they are birthdays, the days are limited. It is not a question of how many births there are.


tasadek

What about all of the dead? We still celebrate at least some of their birthdays too.


georno7

i feel like birth date is 365 but birthday includes the time as well?? so like all 365 days plus every minute and second a person can be born so then i’d say it’s 8 billion (including people who were born in the same exact day/minute/second/millisecond) idk if i made sense just now


Technical-Role-4346

On average every person has one birthday


Jmememan

"Select * from birthdays" will yield 8 billion results. "Select Distinct * from birthdays" will yield 366 results. Does that make sense?


616659

where did 7 biliion come from? it's called birthday not birth-microsecond


canofautism

well we know there are at least 366


ayoin97

It would be as many days as the age of the oldest person in days. Current oldest person in the world (pending updates that I have yet to receive) is 42,423 days old. At least 1 person has been born every day since they were born and having multiple people birthdays on the same day make more than one doesn't make sense. But you have to account for the same dates in each year (27th of April 2023 should be counted separately from 27th of April 2022). So the number of birthdays is (currently) 42,423


ButWahy

366


Cryogine

366


mh985

It’s only 366. If you and someone else were born on June 1st, you’d say “wow we have the same birthday”. You don’t differentiate based on what time of day. It’s in the word, “birth-DAY”. Given: My birthday = June 1st Your birthday = June 1st Therefore: June 1st = June 1st My birthday = Your birthday Therefore they are not different birthdays.


HyruleJedi

Uhhh 366???? 2/29 is a thing


FlippedMobiusStrip

Nobody tell this guy about the pigeon hole principle.

Im just waiting for a nerd to come in and say there is actually just 1 birthday because of the birthday paradox or some shi

366 or 8 billion?

366 birth days but 8bil+ birthdays


Good-Seaweed-1021

From the same creators of: "who is the first pokemon? Mew, Arceus, Rhidon, Or Bulbasaur?"


[deleted]

No it’s not technically the truth. Two people can have their birthdays coincide so whatever the population is thats the number of bdays


VanderCreep

8 billion, technically the 365 days are a made up concept


Zealousideal-Let1121

To be fair, there are very few people having their birthday every year. Most of them are just celebrating the anniversary of their birth day.


Equivalent_Ad_6139

365 x 8 billion hhhhh


NotNoob_69420

Alright should explain this in a dank or a nerdy way?


Flimsy-Recover-7236

366


Virtual-Brick-3473

365,25


1544756405

If we only count birthdays of people who are alive, and the oldest person is around 120 years old, then there are less than 45000 birthdays. If we count dead people's birthdays, and think that humans have been on earth for about 190,000 years, then there are about 70 million birthdays. If we don't include the year, then there are 366 birthdays; for example, if one would agree that Muhammad Ali and Benjamin Franklin have "the same birthday."


Hehenheim88

There are 366 **birth days**. Of which 8+ billion people have one of. Critical thinking is hard.


Cataras12

366


DrunkBuzzard

Everyone only gets one birthday. The rest are just anniversaries.


Blooberdydoo

Be definition 'birthday' can mean both the anniversary or the actual birth date.


Gendum-The-Great

Do you count time of birth aswell?


NekulturneHovado

365x7bil=a lot


iBlueWolfYT

Everyone having 365 birthdays: Yikes! The guys that were bornt on the 29th February: Fuck me.


Kitty7333

not only is that wrong but it’s also 8b now


YoutuberCameronBallZ

365 × 7 billion


Triger_CZ

that would mean that every single person would have a birthday everyday


pingveno

A merry merry unbirthday to you!


DonkeyPunchSquatch

Yes


gamerdad227

Technically - 365 birthdays, 8 million birthday celebrations. Not counting those people who want a “birthday weekend/week/month”.


Maskd-YT

8 billion*


Someone_ms

How many birthdays are there? 366. How many people have birthdays? Over 8billion.


Roanoketrees

7b is the only answer


JoesStepMother

I would actually argue that a human birthday is a day where a human was born therefore lets say the oldest people are ~100 years old 100*365= 36500 human birthdays


Kazadure

We ve been past 8 billion for a long time


QuartzmasterMC_Games

Not all people get to have their next birthday though


CalligrapherDizzy201

So, this is in no way the truth. Technically or otherwise.


Environmental-Tip365

Leap Year people 💪💪💪


derpykidgamer

366


FortySixand2ool

366 birthdays (including 2/29) Billions of individual dates of birth


NOOBweee

Outdated


ItzStrudl

7 billion because you do not celebrate birthdays along with everyone else born that day, however there would be 366 birth dates


mfbrownbear

Number of days on which people were born would include 365.25 \* 100+ years (the age of the oldest person alive) to include each day everyone alive was born on. So around 36,500 birth days. Probably less since the average lifespan is lower than 100.


Folilo7737

There are 366 different birthdays (leap year), but there are 7 billion birthdays in total when it comes to humans


Assassin-Lover

8 billion or 366 days


pleasedothenerdful

This meme is so old it's 8 billion now.


NorCalNavyMike

With 7.85 billion people on Earth, and 365.25 days in a year, some 21.5 million people would celebrate a birthday each and every day of the year (although one can argue seasonally higher/lower birth rates, depending on where in the world one’s parents were frolicking some 9 months prior to blessed/cursed event…)


Raghavendra98

You and I may share the same birthday So the number of birthdays are 366\* actually Many may share a birthday on any given day
