It's Tuesday, 2/22/22, the grandest of all taco Tuesdays. Do not squander this gift you have been given!

I'm in Sweden, and we write this 2022-02-22, i,e Year-Month-Day.
Not so fun in our notation then

LOL ! Very good, it indeed sounds like a tune when one pronounces it correctly and rythmically.

In Spain, this date is "22-02-2022", which reads like "dos-dos-cero-dos-dos-cero-dos-dos", which is a number perfectly palindromic and even more, as my daughter noticed, it's also invertible: if you look at it upside down (a 180º turn), it remains the same !!

Furthermore, in Spain Tuesday is the 2^nd day of the week, so you just need to wait until 02:20:22 and you'll have a most palindromic, invertible 2-0 timestamp ! :

I got a headache from standing upside down to read it. It still doesn't look the same to me:

sop-sop-oɹǝɔ-sop-sop-oɹǝɔ-sop-sop

Maybe if I lived in Australia it might look better. I've always wanted to visit Vienna!

Well, I said "which is a number perfectly palindromic", not "a sentence" ...

And I've always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand, but they're slightly far from my home.

If you are a Dumb and Dumber fan, Vienna would be in Australia. :-)

I'm glad one person got my joke, anyway! I've been to Vienna, Saltzburg, and quite a few other cities in Europe. My Grandmother was born and raised in Darmstadt and she took me on a tour of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the central Europe area. With the rough quality of the toilet paper in the cities we visited, I can see why bidets are so popular!
