So we'd be remiss if we didn't point out that this incredible date is never, ever going to happen again, for the rest of time. This rare date and time palindrome hasn't happened for more than a decade (remember 11/11/11?) and [has been dubbed "Twosday"]() because, of course, it also happens to fall on a Tuesday. Plus, the coincidences don't stop there. For instance, Scottish meteorologist Scott Duncan noted that at 2:22:22 PM in Spain, it was 22 degrees Celsius. "I don't know what to do with this information," Duncan tweeted. https://twitter.com/ScottDuncanWX/status/1496163366758490116 Even weirder: many have noted that Tim Weah, an American soccer star who plays for Lille, France, turns 22 on today of all days. https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1496064788014813186 Check out some more of our fave memes about this bizarre, once-in-a-lifetime occurrence below. ## That Makes "Two" of Us https://twitter.com/rqlphbb/status/1496141800125480960 The implications... ## "Two" Cold https://twitter.com/KyleClark/status/1496157411564208134 We'd take 22 degrees Celsius over two degrees Fahrenheit any day. ## "Two" Cute https://twitter.com/TwoOfThemDaily/status/1496167960922275853 Certified banger. ## "Two" True https://twitter.com/UberFacts/status/1496168725615104004 UberFacts [doesn't always get it right](), but this is "two" cool. ## That's The "Two"-et https://twitter.com/parksandrec/status/1496168164639404032 That's all she wrote. **More memes:** *[Twitter Roast Feds After CIA Admits Havana Syndrome is Fake After All]()* ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
