* to some countries. We don’t all celebrate Father’s Day on the same day and we don’t all celebrate Father’s Day at all.

I don't care about 90% of the posts on this site, but enough are relevant to make it worthwhile.

It'd be silly to reply to the threads that don't interest me.

You are right. Sometimes I do care about overly Americentrist views. But maybe better to now reply, thanks.

Reddit would be a better forum for that. https://www.reddit.com/r/complaints/

We had fathers day on May 14th :)

Outside of Towel Day, I'm not sure there is a universally celebrated holiday.

Somewhat apropos today, the solstices/equinoxes are by their nature celebrated at the same time of year universally. Granted, not everyone celebrates them, but you couldn't ever get everybody to celebrate anything.

Though if we're getting pedantic (like the head commenter of this thread), the solstices are opposites in the northern vs southern hemisphere, and on the equator solstices and equinoxes are irrelevant.

I do think New Year's on the Gregorian Calendar is up there, and the soccer World Cup does well, too.

New Year's?

Nah, my cats don't celebrate it due to fireworks.

Of which calendar system?

I think there is some sort of celebration of Gregorian New Year's in most of the world, even if it's not as big as lunar new year and other local calendar systems.
