You can create your own holiday
- pluto_modadic 2y agoah, yes. just forget to paint some of a metal surface. Then you can use a Holiday Test to find it.
- tooreserved 2y agoBut, i wanted to spend my holidays on deviantart.com... ?! [img:] (I think they don't like direct linking) https://i.postimg.cc/fRY8zpBF/23429-NU-FINAL-Mail.png https://i.postimg.cc/fRY8zpBF/23429-NU-FINAL-Mail.png
- geocrasher 2y agoOf course you can create your own holiday. We know this because all holidays are made up.
- anonzzzies 2y agoi enjoy my holidays in my garden writing code. been creating them (holidays) since i could program which is now almost 45 years. I always have more fun in hindsight than my friends who do whatever 'the public likes' and took insta shots. each their own: if you can find joy in your head, it is easy to be happy forever. * you obviously need the means to do this ; I went for money early on and I regret it but then again; I basically have been living of interest for most of my life now from selling my first company that literally almost killed me, 2 times (ambulances and the whole crap).
- neuroelectron 2y agoI'm interested in his holiday celebrating Elon's social network, but I don't think it's that niche.
- badmintonbaseba 2y agoI wouldn't call these holidays, these are just once-a-year chores (apart from celebrate X).
- bluefirebrand 2y agoThese are more like scheduled rituals than holidays for me I guess at some level that's sort of all a holiday is, but I think there's some amount of "taking time away from work and tedium" implied by the word holiday I also think there's a sort of shared cultural meaning being lost from holidays as well. Is it really a holiday if no one else observes it, or is it just a personal thing? Holidays are something that people share with one another, with their families, friends, their neighbors, etc Maybe I'm being much too pedantic about what is ultimately just a list of days that this person has scheduled to take care of things that are important to them
- ape4 2y agoSysadmin Day, Pi Day, May the Forth Day
- tivert 2y ago> Pi Day, May the Forth Day Omg, I hate those so much. They're so forced and waaay past their sell-by date, especially "May the Forth Day." They're basically, "experience the fun of the the cake scene from Office Space day."
- kqr 2y agoBetween personal days and real holidays, there is a lot of middle ground. I recently learned about Petrov day, which is consistently celebrated as a holiday within small internet communities.
- ramses0 2y ago"Arbitrary Day" => the day 6-months offset from your actual birthday where you celebrate yourself instead of other people celebrating you.
- jcrash 2y agoYup, your half-birthday!
- motohagiography 2y agopersonal days of reflection and work make sense, but a holiday is probably inaccurate. things like toyotathon, various days of awareness or visibility, and prime day are essentially nihilist holidays, where the "holy" aspect of them is replaced with some material and un-sacred interest, and "celebrating" just means promoting or selling to people who don't care. Nobody is celebrating these things and acting them out is a banal rejection of meaning. I like the idea of taking days for important personal things, and there is probably a system of living well that includes these tasks, but maybe reflecting on what something "sacred" might actually mean is a better use of it.
- xandrius 2y agoI was expecting something more exciting as examples, as someone else pointed out, it's just a bunch of chores. My "custom" holidays are: - Summer Solstice - Winter Solstice - Grandma Memorial Day - Chestnut Gratitude Day - First Day of Winter - Flowers Day
