- muzani 5y agoPalindrome day is different in different countries, like Mother's Day.
- mcv 5y agoIt's like Labour Day. The whole world agrees, except the US, which has a different date for it.
- atonse 5y agoHuh interesting. What is the US date based on? And what is the rest of the world’s date based on?
- celticninja 5y agoMay 1st is the standard in the rest of the world, US it's sometime in September.
- Zababa 5y agoMany countries have their date based on the International Worker's Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day. The US aren't the only one celebrating it on a different day, Japan does it too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Thanksgiving_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Thanksgiving_Day.
- mcv 5y agoFunny thing about that is that the the international one, on May 1, is ultimately based on a strike in Chicago. So the entire world celebrates Labour Day based on an event in the US, while the US alone uses a different date. And somehow that doesn't even seem that unusual to me; the US often is the first with a new idea, and as soon as others join in, they back down.
- Zababa 5y ago> while the US alone uses a different date As I said in my post, the US aren't alone in that, Japan also uses a different date. Canada also celebrates it on a different day, the same as the US. Ireland celebrates it on the first Monday in May.
