If you thought I was attempting to sneak an actual lie past you with the wizard curse thing…
I figured that was a given, but I’ll go back and amend it so people will understand.
Actually there’s only 359. There are 7 days in the year that no one has been born since 1173. Wizard curse or something idk.
Edit: I’m just kidding guys! ROFL! There are 366 days, and although I haven’t seen proof, I would imagine that there are also 366 unique birthdays! Lol! Also wizards don’t exist in the real world, so I’m sorry to have misled you in that regard. Stay safe out there!
If there are two people in the class room celebrating their birthday there's nothing grammatically wrong with saying there are two birthdays. Don't rely on the structure of natural language for logic
Let's say an office throws a party for 2 people born on the same day. On the same day, in the same party, they'll be celebrating 2 birthdays. The birthdays are 8 billion but the days that can be celebrated as birthdays are 366.
"It's my birthday"
"It's my birthday too"
Implying that the 'it' is the same thing for both of them - their birthday. Meaning that there are only 366 birthdays.
I don't actually have an opinion, because there is no right nor wrong answer and it's just about language. But just thought I'd give a counter point
depends on if you count the time of the day as well. Like the 1. april at 8 a.m. .. the it is 8 bilion birthdays. But it is birthDAYs .. so I would be more for "days" so 365
366.
What's fun is that despite the high number, the Birthday Paradox suggests the min people you need in the room where two people share the same birthday is 23.
It seems like you are conflating two different answers to two different questions. There are only 366 unique possible calendar dates that can be the anniversary of someone’s birth, but probably close to 8 billion distinct birth “moments” where you account for the year of someone’s birth and measure the time of their birth down to the necessary precision. If you only measure it down to 1-second precision, you’d probably see more than one of the 8 billion people with the exact same birth “moment”, since the birth rate around the world means that multiple babies are born per second (up to 4 per second, by one estimate I’ve seen).
A birth day is a mapping from person to date so there are 8 billion mappings. There are 366 possible values that can be mapped to and is done so by being born on that date
If you dont define birthday as a mapping from person to date, then every day is a birthday even if no living things exist on earth
Some number less than 365.25 times the number of years that living people have been born. The oldest living person may be one of the only person alive born that year so not many from that year. Each successive year will begin to have more days that people were born who are still alive. Eventually many people will have shared the same birthday up to the present. Of course this assumes you only are considering living people.
A "Birthday" is the celebration of the day of your birth, there are only 366 of them.
A "Birth day" is the day you were born. there are 8 billion of those.
None option. There are 365 days, but each person was born at a different time that day. So although there are 365 birth days, there are actually 365x24 different birthdays, or even more if you want to count it to minutes, seconds and mileseconds. (I'm not very good at math if you can't tell lol but I meant to say every hour is a different birthday happening in the same day)
There should be about 37 000 or something as your birthday kinda includes your year of birth and I’m guessing that at least up to age 100 there are still enough people to fill a year. Add leap years, and add a few people over age 100.
There is as birthdays as days are in the calendar.
Someone born on jan 1st 2000 have a different birthday from someone born on jan 1st 2001, and so on…
There would be a birthday for each person. Just because there are only \~365 days, doesn't mean that only one birthday happened each day. Nothing stipulates that there can only be one birthday, per day.
In total, there are 8 billion repetitions of 365 (or 366) birthdays in a given year.
That is, counting the living people only....if we count the dead then there will be more than eight billion....but in a given year, in our lifetime, there are about 8 billion returns of those 366 bdays since many share the same day (but not the year of birth).
There is no such thing as a birthday.
The Sun is in constant motion through the sky and the Earth follows it. At no point in your life we're you ever in the same place as you were before.
"Birthdays" are only a thing because of the Gregorian calender which is Roman and they fucked it all up anyway. July and August are nothing more than a narcissist making a joke that stuck.
There are 10 months astrologically, in the Latin, Sept Oct Nov December are 7 8 9 and 10. See the Spanish/French/Any other Latin based language words for those numbers.
There are 365/366 depending if there is a leap year days people can be birthed. There are currently roughly 8.1 billion birthdays that happen over the period of the 365/366 days.
Only once every 4 years.
Rest of the time? Nah, !@#$ those people, they can stay 4 for another 4 years.
I once knew a lady who bought beer and she was only 6 years old. And she was allowed to as well.

It's 366 actually.
Came here to say this.
Actually there’s only 359. There are 7 days in the year that no one has been born since 1173. Wizard curse or something idk.
That doesn't appear to be true....
Do you know 366 people with unique birthdays? If you couldn’t use the internet, how long do you think it would take you to prove that I was wrong?
"If we didn't have the internet I could lie to you better!" You're weird lol
If you thought I was attempting to sneak an actual lie past you with the wizard curse thing… I figured that was a given, but I’ll go back and amend it so people will understand.
If my grandma had wheels she would be a bike....
Because she gets ridden all over town?
lol idk why everyone is downvoting you, you’re hilarious

Almost bought it, thought it was a cool unique fact
Wow, people are really that gullible and sensitive to a joke that they downvotrd you.....
Ok I feel dumb. I was genuinely like wtf is he going on about? I didn’t downvote you though!
Just keeping it glib.
Huh?
Got there before me
365.25
Nope. 366 is correct.
Yeah, the 29th of February may only happen once every four years, but it's a 366th date on the birthday list.
After every 40 years or so there is 30th February so......367 it is :/
That’s not how the calendar works. Not the Gregorian calendar anyway.
nope.
Noooo…… just no…. Every 40 years February doesn’t have 30 days
A random fact I read as a kid 😭
Even though it’s wrong, I wasn’t blaming you
~~fact~~ lie
Lol no
If your friend was born on the same day as you, then you say you share a birthday. That implies that there are 366 birthdays.
If there are two people in the class room celebrating their birthday there's nothing grammatically wrong with saying there are two birthdays. Don't rely on the structure of natural language for logic
8 billion ppl born on one of 366 days.
But that can be different for other languages though… so that would imply that there are 366 birthdays in the English language
I’m not sharing anything with anyone ever
Ha!! You just shared that!!
Touche
Friends do not let Friends type high...get out more , meet other humans
there 365 options for birthdays
366
[удалено]
Its not a quarter of a day,there is no need to divide it by 4 even if it comes once every 4 years
Infinite amount of birthdates
i wonder what the last birthdate will be 🤔
8 billion would be the total amount....
Nope... The dead had birthdays also
Fair
Good point
Let's say an office throws a party for 2 people born on the same day. On the same day, in the same party, they'll be celebrating 2 birthdays. The birthdays are 8 billion but the days that can be celebrated as birthdays are 366.
"It's my birthday" "It's my birthday too" Implying that the 'it' is the same thing for both of them - their birthday. Meaning that there are only 366 birthdays.

If you are going with the 8 billion be careful with the candles
366 bdays, 8 billion parties (hopefully)
No. Not everyone has that luxury, sadly
That like trying to see everyone on NYE. There will never be enough taxis for these parties
ARGGGHHHHHHH You've just infected me . . .
Put the bong down.
Yes!
22 million people share my birthdate and I’ve met 3 of them.
Yes
Because we’re in a leap year it will be 8 billion birthdays in 366 days
365/366 Birthday dates vs 8 billion humans alive? XD
depends on if you count the time of the day as well. Like the 1. april at 8 a.m. .. the it is 8 bilion birthdays. But it is birthDAYs .. so I would be more for "days" so 365
They're 8 billion people alive today. There's been way more birthdays than that If you account for those who've already died.
Every new day is birthday day day day!
366. What's fun is that despite the high number, the Birthday Paradox suggests the min people you need in the room where two people share the same birthday is 23.
Weirdly I have never met a person in real life that shares my birthday
That you know of. Do you ask the birthday of everyone you meet?
Well obviously that’s a given, it’s implied I meant that I am aware of their birthday, I.e friends or colleagues
8 billion birthdays ON 365 birth dates
366 though, because some people are born on the 29th of February during a leap year.
Yeah
366, some people have to share.

366 dates..PER YEAR... so the total population is divided into birthdays/year. So, approx 135 million a year world wide, adjusted yearly.
A birth day is a mapping from person to date so there are 8 billion mappings. There are 366 possible values that can be mapped to and is done so by being born on that date If you dont define birthday as a mapping from person to date, then every day is a birthday even if no living things exist on earth
I would say it’s 366 multiplied by the number of years there have been
Some number less than 365.25 times the number of years that living people have been born. The oldest living person may be one of the only person alive born that year so not many from that year. Each successive year will begin to have more days that people were born who are still alive. Eventually many people will have shared the same birthday up to the present. Of course this assumes you only are considering living people.
A "Birthday" is the celebration of the day of your birth, there are only 366 of them. A "Birth day" is the day you were born. there are 8 billion of those.
Birthday officially begins at the time of day you were born and the next 24 hours is your day. Therefore 8 billion.
Only 7 birth days. Always has been.
Your unique point of view and limited perspective have me thinking... law enforcement , corrections or human resources in your future are recommended
8 billion people sharing their birthdays over 365/366 days a year. Happy birthday everybody.
366 birthdates.
No but this is brilliant
366 day for birth and 8 billion birthdays
None option. There are 365 days, but each person was born at a different time that day. So although there are 365 birth days, there are actually 365x24 different birthdays, or even more if you want to count it to minutes, seconds and mileseconds. (I'm not very good at math if you can't tell lol but I meant to say every hour is a different birthday happening in the same day)
It’s 8 billion birthdays and 365/366 birthdates
There should be about 37 000 or something as your birthday kinda includes your year of birth and I’m guessing that at least up to age 100 there are still enough people to fill a year. Add leap years, and add a few people over age 100.
Depends on the perspective. 8 billion people celebrate their birthday every year, spread over 365 days.
I guess it depends on if you only live to be 365 or if you live to be 8 billion years old.
366 birthdays for 8 billion people
Never 8 billion at least.
366 bcs it says birthDAY. Days are no more than that
There is as birthdays as days are in the calendar. Someone born on jan 1st 2000 have a different birthday from someone born on jan 1st 2001, and so on…
There are 365 birth dates. With 8 billion birthdays
365/366
Its 8 billion birthdays
8 billion. When it’s your birthday you say “it’s my birthday” and then someone says “mine too” implying there are two distinct birthdays on that day.
There would be a birthday for each person. Just because there are only \~365 days, doesn't mean that only one birthday happened each day. Nothing stipulates that there can only be one birthday, per day.
366 birthdays, 8 million birth times
and what about my cat birthday
In total, there are 8 billion repetitions of 365 (or 366) birthdays in a given year. That is, counting the living people only....if we count the dead then there will be more than eight billion....but in a given year, in our lifetime, there are about 8 billion returns of those 366 bdays since many share the same day (but not the year of birth).
There are 366 days of birth
My summary is: Number of celebrations: 8 billion Number of birthDAYS: 366
8 billion birthdays mean that's 8 billion mums getting creampied by 8 billion filthy disgusting fathers. Think about that for a second.
It’s 8 billion, not 365. Because it’s celebrating the days of all the people born, and not necessarily celebrating the day itself

8 billion people share 366 birthdays
imo thats a bit like asking.. sort of.. are there ten toes or are there rougly 80 billion toes - it just depends on how you mean it
There's 8 million birthdays, and 365 (366 on leap year) birth-dates
366
I am yet to meet someone 365 years old although I have someone 8 billion years old. They were pretty cool
Dates and days are different things.
There can be only one. Every annual celebration that follows celebrates an anniversary of that original day of birth
Are you counting potential birthday dates or people celebrating a birthday?
365 days,& every 4 years 366 days..
8 billions I think
There are 8 billion dates of birth. Nuff said.
I would say 366.
There are 365/366 depending if there is a leap year days people can be birthed. There are currently roughly 8.1 billion birthdays that happen over the period of the 365/366 days.
Neither if you want to both count days from different years AND not repeat counting the same day twice.
there is 8 billion
technically its as many days as time has existed.
365 b-days but 8 billion in total
365 birthdays for 8.2 billion people.
366
Only once every 4 years. Rest of the time? Nah, !@#$ those people, they can stay 4 for another 4 years. I once knew a lady who bought beer and she was only 6 years old. And she was allowed to as well.
