On February 22, 2022, the world hit an unprecedented milestone with the date being 22/2/22 on a Tuesday, the second day of the week. The day was dubbed as a Twosday and here’s a look at when the next one will come.
The internet couldn’t be more excited for the occasion and Twitter has been flooding with memes ever since Twosday dawned upon us.
According to The Farmer’s Almanac, some cultures believe that dates like these are a sign of good luck.

What is a Twosday?
For the unversed, a “Twosday” is a day of twos. The Twosday falling on a Tuesday makes it all a palindrome.
A palindrome is a word, phrase or date that can be read the same way, both backwards and forwards.
In the instance of 22/2/22, the date sounds the same even if you read it as month-day-year, year-month-day or day-month-year.
The next palindrome date isn’t that far in the future, it will be on 3/20/2023.
However, we won’t be graced with another Twosday for a long, long time.

When is the next Twosday after 2022?
According to National Weather Service Elko, the next Twosday will fall in 2422, which is about 400 years from now.
That makes 2022’s Twosday the only one in our lifetime – unless someone finds a magic pill that would keep us alive for another four centuries.
