Today is February 2, 2020.
- In MM/DD/YYYY format, it's 02/02/2020.
- If you prefer DD/MM/YYYY format, that's 02/02/2020.
- If you like to put the year first, YYYY/MM/DD is 2020/02/02.
- Heck, even if you're a crazy person who writes in YYYY/DD/MM, it's 2020/02/02.
No matter how you write the date (using any regular numeric format with leading zeros on the day and month), today's date is a palindrome (reads the same backwards or forwards) -- 02022020 or 20200202.
This is the first date since November 11, 1111 where this is true, and the next time it happens will be December 12, 2121. I think it's safe to that this is the only day in any of our lifetimes where this will happen.
Additionally, today is the 33rd day of 2020 and there are also 333 days remaining in the year.
It is also the first day since September 30, 2009 (2009/09/30) where there wasn't at least one "1" in the numeric date.
