Every person has the same birthday now.

We only allow births on one calendar day. Any baby born on another day except the designated calendar day is (as humanely as possible) removed from society or aborted. Existing people will live until their natural death.

Imagine all the sexy times happening 9 months prior to The Birthday of each year.
Oh. And also all the sexy times happening at every other time throughout the year.
Never mind.

Imagine all the people having sex right now.

This is kinda the opposite of how it works with racehorses. They’re born whenever they’re born, but the birthday on their paperwork is always January 1st of the relevant year.

Southern hemisphere horses are July 1st

That’s the one I was trying to remember! I thought it was June 21st, summer solstice, but that didn’t sound right, so I left it.

Have you accounted for all the timezones?
Official-FTM@reddit
remove timezones so this will work

This one I do actually agree with, i think it'd be more convenient if the world ran on UTC in every place. We could even move the prime meridian to the middle of the ocean so those punks at Greenwich don't get an advantage and have to adjust like the rest of us

I'm sorry I can't get behind the fact that 9am somewhere could be midnight and 12am somewhere could be the middle of the day

Kind of like the Giliacs in The Orville episode “All the World is Birthday Cake.”

There are certain cultures, like Korea, where a persons age is counted from the New Year to the New Year. A person born a day after the New Year and a person born the day before the New Year would both be one year old.
So your idea has worked before.
(This practice has been mostly abandoned in favor of Western Style individual Birthdays.)

Ok but why? I mean, I hate people as much as anyone, but we kind of need more than your idea allows if we want to keep the lights on.

We now have a 365 times lower birthrate and we go extinct.
