Announcing ‘This Stupid Day’

Posted August 31, 2017, 11:02 p.m.

Every day is a stupid holiday now. It’s always ‘National Donut Day’ or ‘National Textiles Day’ or something. I think it’s getting pretty silly.

Rather than argue with it, I’ve decided to embrace it with my own set of idiotic “holidays.”

Head over to https://www.this-stupid-day.com/ and see what day it is today, or what day it is/was on any other day.

This is not necessarily the final version (I’ve given it a release number of 0.9, pending finalization). Feedback is welcome, and some of the “holidays” may change in the final version.

Enjoy!
