@alan @decolonialatlas it should be called Day Day

@decolonialatlas And yes of course everybody please read the link that I included, which clarifies that this actually happens for many days of the year from mid May through mid July. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/99-percent-sunlight

@alan @decolonialatlas Isn’t this just “summer solstice”?

How about "F*** y**, Australia + NZL" Day?

@alan @decolonialatlas July 8 is my birthday which is a grand holiday worth celebrating

skyphyr, 10 months ago

@alan @decolonialatlas could call it Oztralasiacized (which may also be the world's most complex, broken portmanteau)

How does it feel to be part of the 1% Mark? 😉

@DemocracySpot very dark 😭

TerrorBite, 10 months ago

@alan @decolonialatlas Australians are the one percent.

@alan so sometime on Jan 8 there is a day that most people on the globe are in the dark. That day we should also give a name and celebrate…. Goth day perhaps?

wackyvorlon, 11 months ago

@alan @AmyZenunim @decolonialatlas I say we call it Sun Day.

@alan @decolonialatlas call it Day Day

"The day of the day, on this day of days, is Day Day"

@WizardOfDocs Wow, deep cut! 😃

@Graham_LRR @Canageek and I watched all the surviving Phailhaüsen a few years ago, and the trivia bits stuck with me 💙

@alan @decolonialatlas I guess “Sorry Australia, we didn’t mean to exclude you”-day would be an appropriate name…

ijk64, 11 months ago

@alan @decolonialatlas and I’m still in the dark. Typical !

@alan @decolonialatlas We can call it: Fuck Australia Day.

@alan @decolonialatlas it's a shame that the Star Wars Christmas Special has forever tainted "Light Day"

@alan @decolonialatlas sorry for Australia and Middle Earth!

I have an adversarial relationship with that thrice-dedamned day star at the best of times, and here you are coming into my feed wanting to celebrate it's ascendancy

🥥 Please leave #Australia out of this. They've already got too many venomous creatures to deal with and the marsupials need their rest.
Also, may I respectfully suggest "#SunnyMcSunfaceDay" as the name for July 8th -- the day when 99% of the Earth's population is illuminated by the sun at the same time -- except for Australia.
In Australia, the day could be: #DeadlyMcDeadface. 🥥

From now on, let it be known as the "Screw Australia" day.
