- bombcar 3y agoWere you born on the day after Feb 28 or the day before Mar 1? ;)
- jagged-chisel 3y agoYes
- chatmasta 3y agoHow often do you encounter challenges related to your birthday? Meaning, not just on the day of Feb 29, but any day of the year when you're trying to select your birth date or something like that. Do you ever find forms where the date is missing or the backend wont accept it?
- yanateras 3y agoOccasionally, but less often than one could imagine! About a dozen times in my life. Whenever February 29 wasn’t present as an option, the frontend was at fault, so I could set the right <input> value in the inspector as a workaround. Other times February 29 was present as an option, only to be saved as February 28. Never March 1, which I’d say would be more coherent.
- whycome 3y ago> more coherent depends on what you're trying to organize by. maybe 'birth month' is an important signifier.
- yanateras 3y agoHere’s why: * I was N years old on February 28th this year * I will be N+1 years old on March 1st this year Therefore: * I was N-1 years old on February 28th last year * I was N years old on March 1st last year Perhaps the month is February and the non-leap year date is March 1st...
- nyczomg 3y agoIf it makes you feel better.... On February 29, 2008 I was working on a system as a government contractor. Part of it was outsourced to a sub-contractor who decided to write their own date/time library because how hard could that be (which I only learned about later)? For some reason NOTHING would work right that day. Took me longer than I'd care to admit of staring at the logs to realize that some started with March 1 2008.... edit: also happy birthday!
- yanateras 3y agoDefinitely not any more coherent on a leap year! That remark only applied to dates stored without a year, as in “February 29” rather than “February 29, 2008”. Thank you..!
- swader999 3y agoHappy birthday!
- yanateras 3y agoThank you ^_~
- Wowfunhappy 3y ago...it occurs to me, when should those services congratulate you? Should it be on February 28 or March 1?
- jedberg 3y agoAccording to the government, Mar 1. Anything that is based on your birthday (driver's license, drinking, signing contracts, etc) all happen on March 1 if there is no Feb 29 that year. Which makes sense since then it is "after" your birthday.

- wolfendin 3y ago365 days ago was March 1, 2023
- jerbear4328 3y agoIn 365 days, it will be February 28, 2025 Which is more important, the past or the future?
- mr_toad 3y agoThis year has 366 days, or at least it does after Feb 29.
- yanateras 3y agoI’d say March 1! February 28 might be too early.
- mnw21cam 3y agoAt midnight in-between 28th February and 1st March.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoStay, yanateres, stay! They have no legal claim! No shadow of a shame will fall upon thy name: stay, yanateres, stay!
- codetiger 3y agoHappy birthday to you! It’s a special day and We don’t get this chance to say this often. Enjoy your day
- yanateras 3y agoThank you :3
