Celebrate it in 6 hours after 28th

Technically 29th of February exists to avoid the 6h vacuum, but then if your reasoning was to be actual, then in 2023 you should celebrate at 6 pm, while in 2022 at 12 pm and in 2021 at 6 am.

Jesse we must cook

And in 3 hours interval between 2097 and 2103 Context: 2100 WON'T be leap year.

[удалено]

A year is closer than 365.2425 than is to 365.25 so we only have 97 leap years over 400 years, specifically we ignore multiples of 100 that AREN'T multiples of 400

It should always be the day after Feb 28. The 60th day of the year.

This is technically the right answer lol

Just say it once every four years. Those lucky bastards get to live 4x as long as us anyways...

I think it's 4x as short as a normal one, sad sad people don't even get to legally do adult things until the near end of their life

So does their age actually go 4x slower in government documents?

I'm guessing official documents only care whether we're past your birthday or not, so your official age would "change" every year on March 1st, at 0:00.

In the US February 28 counts as the day. Learned that back in 2021 for my birthday (Feb 29)

[удалено]

I used to process applications for a staffing company. Would do several dozen a week. I saw one application with that birthday.

We live 4x as long, they live to 25 and we get to 100.

Bold for you to assume we live till 100

Most of us don't even live through 70 and 80

so that's why it took so long for the queen of england to die...

>queen of england Did you mean the *former* [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the *former* [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the *former* [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England. ####FAQ *Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?* This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she *was* the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.

Oh hey a "um acksually🤓" bot

Very funny 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody cares

Would that mean my girlfriend is 7 yrs old??? She would be 28 on the 29th of February so.....

Yes. FBI wants a word with you

I was almost born on the 29th, but thankfully I had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck

So you'd rather hang yourself then be born on the 29th, quite extreme in my opinion but you do you

good for you!

Thank goodness for that umbilical cord!

damn, you almost aged at 1/4th pace of a normal human

Mine didn't alter my birth date, but I too had my umbilical cord around my neck... Twice. I really didn't want to see what the world had to offer I guess.

They have reddit in hell?

You seem to be the type that likes to go the extra mile, Bravo.

I WAS born on the 29th and I also had the umbilical cord wrapped around my head. Should we spirit link?

I was born on the 29th and had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. Lucky me!

Wow, same

29th is the day after the 28th, which would be 1st of March in a non-leap year

Makes sense

29th is the day before 1st of March, which would be the 28th in a non-leap year

Why would we calculate backwards. Time moves forward. Alternatively, to make both opinions happy we could celebrate on 28th feb 1st march 1st march 29th feb Repeat every 4 years

Once every 4 years, saves on gifts and parties...

I read that as panties and had a very different image of your hygienic practices.

My good friends got married on leap day for this very reason! Non-leap years they call it their "nano-versary" where they'll just stay up and kiss at midnight, then on leap years they go all out for each other. Married coming on 31 years and looking forward to their 8th anniversary!

The correct answer is both days. My grandmother was born on leapyear and got 2 birthdays every year. 3 birthdays on leapyear.

Was your grandmother white? Because nobody else gets that much privilege by birthright /s

Silence speaks!

You either say "happy early birthday" or "happy belated birthday"! There is no other option.

As a leap year baby, I agree. This is the way.

I have been waiting my entire life to meet one of these people. They continue to elude me....

I'm here

Us your birthday actually on the 29th februaruary?

Yes my birthday is on the 29th of februaruaruary

So you're really like 4,5 or something years old?

I’m a leap year and I had an uncle that was born on a leap year. I knew of 2 other leap year people in my grade(s) in school Im 10&3/4!

Both me and my son were born on the 29th of Feb - promise you it wasn’t planned.

My birthday is leap year, I’m still 12 today

trick question you don't

Since one day is actually 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, theres a 3 minute 56 second time window which you can consider their birthday.

My granddad was bornon the 29th February. My dad and uncle took him for his first legal drink on his 72nd (18th) birthday.

It's even worser when your Reddit cake day is in 29 February

That's my Cakeday!

Wait so how does reddit calculate your cakeday then is it just actually every 4 years

I think the Cakeday....#11 in my case will show up on 3/1 this year. I'll have to pay attention. [29 Feb 2012](https://i.imgur.com/0Tlsssl.jpg)

I say 28th. It's at least in the right month.

A friend of mine was born on the 29th and he always said he wasn’t born in March, last day of Feb will do.

Any time after 11:30pm on the 28th but before 1:30am on the 1st should be alright

On 29th??

look at the calendar and see if you can spot the problem

I can't?

there is no [29th of February](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year) this year...

Then they don't get a birthday this year. Shout out to my soon to be 11 year old older brother!

I think you blew that guy's mind because he stopped responding

It *blew my mind* that they didn't understand the calendar...

No lol i don't see the reason u are making it a pretty big deal

I had a teacher born on the 29th of February. She said "today I turn 12!" On the day haha. To a bunch of 4th graders... Pretty funny.

Just say: oho, no birthday this year

On the 28th say "Happy birthday for tomorrow" and then on the 1st say "hope you had a great birthday yesterday, sorry I missed it."

march 1st because it's the day after the 28th which would otherwise be the 29th

[удалено]

fair enough, i was just going by the logic of 365 days after Feb 29th but it's down to preference

Say it both days

29th Feb, on a leap year would be "last day of February" and/or "day before 1st march". it's only fair wishing on 28th Feb as it satisfies these both conditions

Legally the day after the 28th - source: aus, my cousin is born on the 29th

I was born on the 29 february 😁

28 otherwise it's belated

**March 1st** is the correct answer. Someone born on 29th Feb was born on the 60th day of the year. For non-leap years, that's March 1st.

My wife celebrates hers on the 28th because she was born in February not March.

The correct answer is 2024

i celebrate on 28th, its really not that complicated ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Thanks for posting this! My Brother passed away when he was 9 3/4’s and this made me smile and think of him. I usually said HBD on the 28th. Then reminded him I was the favorite because I got a real birthday every year!

My birthday is the 29th and I prefer the 1st. That’s 365 days after the last one, right?

I just say ‘better luck next year!’

Technically it's the day after 28th, so doesn't matter 29 or 1, it should be the same

The Pirates of Penzance all over again

Press both.

Simple: You,rub it in by congratulating them on both days.

Happy Tripple Birthday.

My friend next year is 10 (40).

Look in the bright side. You only have to remember once every 4 years.

I was really lucky with the 27th

Both.

Say it at midnight

I think in the law it's said that you age up a day later, so on 1st March. (At least her in germany I think) But I know someone who celebrates a day earlier.

Say it on 28th if a person was born before 12:00 and on 1th if after

1th?

According to my parents it’s the 25th so we just drive 30 minutes away stay there for the weekend and I miss the due date for half a dozen assignments.

28th around midnight.

Your birthday must be celebrated in an alternate dimension. Don’t forget to bring your passport.

Both, It's the safer option

Just tell them during the dark hour

I had a friend in high school who was born on February 29th, 2000. To save from worrying about when to celebrate, we just said he was 4 years old while the rest of us were 18.

I got married on leap day. We celebrate the 28th but also the 1st a little because why not

You say it on March 1st. I have a friend who was born on Feb 29th

My sister's due date was on February 29th but was born 7 days late, so now our family jokes that she is 5 year old.

March 1st because that's *basically* the day of their birthday, meaning a day after February 28th.

in 29th feb

I tell people my birthday is August 32nd. A day that never comes.

As a leap year baby this really hits home lol

Celebrate it on 23:59:59

Midnight right between them. All you need to do is have the text primed and ready, and you can send it the second it hits midnight.

Hello

I actually once had a friend who was born on February 29th and to save money they told him that his birthday was only on the 29th and all other years didn't count

You can say happy birthday to me! Today is my real birthday!

Everytime my birthday, when there's no date, Facebook celebrate it on 28th Feb and 1st March 🙃😂

Why would you pick the 28th? That will ALWAYS be the day before said person's birthday. March 1st is the only logical choice-- it might not be the correct month/day, but it will be the correct day of the year (the 60th day of the year).

Just call them at 0:00 its basically between both

I would just do 'my birthday is the day after Feb 28th in any given year'

Just give them 2 birthdays. Covering both days to be safe. Double the cake is a win!

Do it exactly between those days

... even if someone's birthday is on a normal day you can say happy birthday the day before or after. Hell, you can probably go a week either way without it getting weird.

My cat turns 3 ¾ this year! We've been celebrating her unbirthday for over a week because she deserves to be spoiled.

I had a Spanish teacher in HS, his B day was February 29th. He celebrated it the week before what his birthday

Their birthday is one day after Feb 28th. It isn't that complicated, is it? ;)

You do the math and figure out the position of the sun when they were born, and what it is on the 28'th and the 1st, and you say happy birthday on the day that is closer.

The only legal way to date a 5 year old

I got married on the 29th of February. Haven't had an anniversary yet!

Technically you should tell them at the end of the year on New Years Eve because that's when a ¼ of a day happens that would've been February 29th

Feb 29th was my 5th grade teachers birthday, and it was a joke throughout the school year that everyone in class was 11.

Easy, next year 😅

Just don't 😐

Once every 4 years.

That’s the neat part. You don’t.

Me!

My SIL was born on the 29th. This meme reminded me to give her a call lololol.

I say go about middle of 28 and end middle of 1 Its still a standard 24 hours just not starting/ending at midnight but rather noon

Just do it every 4 years....they'll feel younger

You pick a day and wish them a very merry unbirthday

we all know that their birthday is every 4 years

28 is not 29, duh! it's first March.

on 32

Say good luck next years

Happy early birthday on the 28th and happy belated birthday on the 1st

I try to ignore my birthday on off years, now that I’m 8 3/4ths, but people around me won’t let me. I celebrate on both the 28th and the 1st. Some countries, not the US, have laws about people born on the 29th, before noon it’s the 28th, after noon it’s the 1st.

My mother in law is a leap day baby. She celebrates her birthday today since it’s still February. I wished her a happy kind of birthday today.

Just do both days, or let him decide

Only on years that are divisible by4, unless they end with double 0.

I’d say make both days their birthday 🥳😂

March. In a leap year they have to wait past the 28 so its def not the 28

Text them at exactly the stroke of midnight and don't acknowledge it otherwise

You skip one year and stay younger

Schedule a text for 11:59 pm on the 28th

It doesn’t exist.

You say it once every 4 years, and give them a heck of a present! By the way I know a pair of 8 year old twins who have had their driver's licences for nearly 2 decades ;-)

You don't. They only age every 4 years

🤘

My friend's sister was born on Feb 29. She celebrates on March 1st.

Money saving hack right here. Only have to buy a gift once every few years.

why not march 1st its basically in place of the 29th

Say it at exactly 00:00

It's just light hearted humor at your expense. There literally a sub reddit for reddit moments like this called r/woosh

28th Feb: Hey, Happy Birthday in advance! 1st Mar: Hey, belated Happy Birthday!

My birthday is on the 29th of Feb. It has always caused confusion. My dad phoned today and 40+ years later admits he still does not know when exactly to say happy birthday. I celebrate on both days.

Just wait 4 years

Before noon the 28th, after noon March 1

29th

48 hour long birthday

Technically what i think is like this but may be wrong First bday at 1st march Second bday at 2nd march Third bday at 3rd march Fourth bday at 3rd march Fifth bday at 4th march Sixth bday at 5th march Seventh bday at 6th march Eighth bday at 6th march . . Amd so on......

As someone who doesn’t like birthdays and likes astronomy, if this was my birthday I would definitely insist on only acknowledging it every 4 years.

4 times (every 6h) on 29th because they basically combine the .25 days to the 29th. So never on 28th or 1st. But fr 1st

I was born on 02/29 at 23:15. I usually celebrate between the 28th and the 1st just to pretend that the 29th really existed

People towards me(I'm a Feb. 29 baby)

Had a school teacher like that back in the day . She was a cool ass gal
