Push it out today and you’ll save a fortune on birthday presents.
But you have to take care of the little fucker four time as long before you can kick it out of the house.
This is why you should have been working on those kegels ladies.
Let’s finally speak facts: that water doesn’t break unless you allow it to break.
Wouldn’t hanging out in a walkin freezer/fridge or someplace cold freeze said water? That way the baby wouldn’t be able to break through the ice and have to wait another day to be born.
I might be getting biology wrong.
I believe you’re pretty spot-on. “Crowning” is when the baby emerges with the ice cap on its head (much like a crown). These lucky women are known as “ice queens.”
Babies aren’t usually allowed to be born on this day because if they do, they age far far slower than regular people or something because of leap years. Conspiracy time.
No need. The baby won’t remember their birth day. Just lie that they were born 28/Feb instead.
When they’re old enough to know the truth, they’ll also immediately understand why you lied!
In that scenario, do you round up or down on the date? I’d probably round up, since the 29th of February falls on the date that the 1st of March usually does on most years, right?
I’d round down, so their birth month remains the same.
This is critically important for horology, as you cannot upset the balance of the astrological month. Such inconsistencies will inevitably lead to the deformation of your baby’s brain causing them to look like those drooling wojaks.
/s because somebody probably actually believes that shit.
Horology is the study of clocks. You probably meant astrology/horoscopes.
For the sake of horoscopes either is fine - the zodiacal sign changes from Aquarius to Pisces somewhere between the 18th and the 21th, way before the end of the month. And most people don’t even know the hour that they’re born in, even if relevant for the placement of the 12 houses (including the ascendant, the start of the 1st house), and commemorating your birthday a bit before or after has zero to do with it.
Source: I don’t believe in astrology but I made some cash in my teenage years selling horoscopes.
Reminds me of Ron Swanson selling flutes to the local cult. Respect the hustle

Oh yeah, lol. Pretty sure I should have known that
It’s not that much zanier than regular astrology.
I’d probably round it down. Not just to keep the same birth month (as Rodeo) said, but also to give it a “we’re commemorating it earlier!” vibe.
Just do it alternating - one year Feb 28th, the next Mar 1st
Also be very clear when instructing the nanny to send them to be apprenticed. Pilot can sound a lot like Pirate.
Yeah, you don’t want them living at home when they’re eight.
leap year babies are another strong case in point why we should measure our age in days rather than years. So a leap year baby who has had 8 birthdays (technically 32 years old) has been alive on planet Earth approximately 11,680 days. See? If we keep track of our age by days, there could be no more discriminating against leap year babies.
Yeah but then the baby only she’s once every 4 years so it’ll be a super baby that lives for like 320 years
Yes in theory that sounds fantastic, but the truth is that leap babies age normally right alongside the rest of us but confusion surrounds them 3/4 of their lives’ birthdays when they scramble to decide when to celebrate it, their birthdays becoming a never-ending joke they can never escape 😱
Also sometimes they might end up working for a total psycho. https://www.askamanager.org/2018/01/i-paid-for-fake-references-is-it-rude-to-shush-someone-and-more.html#leapday
Is it really that much of an issue?
Yes, it’s a cataclysmic issue. /s
Damn, I thought sarcasm was the official language of Lemmy. All this time I was thinking /s meant /serious
it doesn’t?
/s definitely means serious.
/s
I’m glad we cleared that up
/s
Wait, does it? /s
this sounds personal are you ok
Aren’t they more likely to only live til they’re about 20? They’d only have 1/4 the birthdays as anyone else.
Wait… Wasn’t last year a leap year? I swear it’s been less than 4 years since the last time it was February 29th…😵💫
I still take issue with the second “2” in “2024”. In my mind we’re barely into the 3rd millennium.
…what do you mean? Adult people were born after 2000? Bollocks!
I thought the same thing about 1990 :(
This year is divisible by 4
Last year was not
No, it’s not.
