What does 1996 and 2024 have in common?

I guess I don’t understand the hoopla around all this. I mean, at some point, a calendar has to be the same as another year in history, right?

If you’ve got a 1996 calendar lying around you can get a second use out of it. This year is set up exactly the same as 1996. People on social media are melting down after realizing the two years mirror each other.

Now people are rushing to eBay to hawk their old calendars for a pretty penny. Social media is now plastered with photos of the 1996 calendars people have dug up. There are five other years that mirror 2024 in a 200 year time frame. They are 1940, 1968, 2052, 2080 and 2120.

If you still have a 1996 calendar and you wrote on it, it may be a nice little trip down memory lane!
