It's 'Twosday' & Here's What People Are Doing To Make 2-22-22 A Special Date

Good things come in twos!

It's Twosday.

Whether you're a twin, a numerology believer, a fan of quirky dates or a two-faced Batman villain, this Tuesday is a special date.

Today's date, 2-22-22 (month, date, year), is a palindrome. This means that it can be read the same forwards and backwards, and with all those 2's, it's the perfect day for doubling up on anything.

Aptly called "Twosday" by the internet, people are celebrating the day of 2's with jokes, deals and just about anything else involving the number 2.

Even Google joined in the fun. If you search "Twosday," confetti and large 2s will fall from the top of your screen, marking the date.

Really, if you had to pick a date that you'll need to remember for the rest of your life, you could do a lot worse than 2-22-22.

February 2 was also a palindrome this year, but it wasn't on a Tuesday.

If you're looking for something to do, getting married might be a good start.

An event by Two Twenty-Two Twenty-Two encouraged 222 couples to attend a "collective wedding event" in California.

According to the event page, ceremonies started at 2 p.m. and ended at 2:22 p.m., allowing couples to be married as off 2:22, 2-22-22. That's a lot of twos!

Las Vegas was also expecting an influx of people tying the knot on the special day. Couples can get a marriage licence at Las Vegas' main airport, Harry Reid International Airport, until February 22, according to CNN.

Content creators have even taken to TikTok to try and post their videos at exactly 2:22 p.m. to commemorate the day.

Happy Twosday. There will only be one of these in our lifetime. 💫22/02/2022💫 #twosday #22022022 #deep #tuesday #bigbrain

OneTikToker took it a step further by wearing two tutus to celebrate Twosday. We'll let the video speak for itself.

The internet made me do it... #twosday

While 2-22-22 will occur again on Feb. 22, 2122, it just won't be the same since it won't be Tuesday.

It'll be 400 years before the world sees another legit "Twosday," so you might want to get out there and make the most of it.
