The Brief: Enjoy these Leap Day memes while you can because they only come once every four years.
DEEP DIVE
The earth takes approximately 365 1/4 days to orbit the sun. Because of this, every four years, the Gregorian calendar includes an extra day: February 29th. Celebrate Leap Day 2020 with memes about this extra-special but also quite ordinary day.
Yes, time is a construct and Leap Day isn’t actually an ‘extra’ day, but there’s nothing wrong with letting loose during this additional calendar day and extra-long February.
If you’re looking to enjoy some Leap Day-related content, there’s an excellent episode of 30 Rock that not only takes place on Leap Day, but has more hype around the holiday than you’ll ever see IRL.
Use your #LeapDay to do things you normally never would. Be gay, take drugs, do crime, overthrow the state. The world is your onion. pic.twitter.com/Gmxvauuboo

Leap Day Memes For 2020
I don’t mind leap years. I know why we need them. But 2020 doesn’t strike me so far as a year that deserves an extra day.

At least you get an extra day to pay rent…

Those born on Leap Day only get to celebrate their birthday every four years, making Leap Years extra special and meaning they hear a lot of jokes about only being one-quarter of their actual age.
This is what happens when Leap Day and your cake day are the same day:
Happy leap day from memes
