January 1 is special for being new year’s day. And if any days after January 1 are not special, then the earliest of them would be the first non-special day of the year, which is special in it’s own right, giving a contradiction. Therefore, there are no non-special days. They are all special, so make the most of each one.
Well we’d need to establish some rules, before anything else. First off, what counts as a holiday? Obviously I think religious ones like the winter holidays should count, but what about the “Hallmark holidays” like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day? What about government-recognized holidays? What about social awareness holidays like Earth Day? Should famous birthdays count? If so, where is the line drawn on how famous that person needs to be? Jesus’ birthday is kind of a big one, but how about Elvis’ birthday?
You have to remember, some religious holidays follow calendars other than the normal one, e.g. Easter follows the lunar calendar, so changes each year, so what might be a special day this year, isn’t next year.
Other days with no national holidays in 2024 are:
7th March,
3rd April,
11th May,
8th June,
23rd August,
22nd October,
13th November,
27th November,
14th December,
28th December

Feb 29 is special because it only happens once every 4 years, tho.
I would think the least remarkable day, the day that is least special would be just, like… Tuesday.
If there were, it would be special for being the Least Special Day.
(I suspect it’s in August.)
yeah I had the same thought lol, I guess another way to define the least special day would be the one that has the exact average # of events.

I know I’ve heard of the least special day in history before, though I don’t remember when it was. In the early 1900s I think.

Oh! I know this one! It’s the dot above the i in Jeremy Bearimy. It’s Tuesday, July, and sometimes never. It’s the moment when nothing never happens.
An amusing related concept; the interesting number paradox.
I would argue that February 29th is the most special, since it only ever happens every 4 years. It’s the most unique day you can have.
Let’s say January 20th.
That’s my birthday! Also usually gets the state of the union in America so mildly important there
Happy birthday!
Would the least special day actually be forgotten by the comments? It’s left to be see…

Questions like these keep me up at night.

Jan 1, Jan 19, Feb 29, Aug 9 and Dec 25.
Those are the only days of the year that they never played a concert.
November 10th
For me it’s honestly my birthday, February 14 aka Valentine’s day.
I don’t really have anyone else to celebrate with other than close family, so it’s never really meant anything to me other than adding a number.
I think they meant worldwide and statistically, not personally.
