St Patrick’s Day as a major Irish holiday is an American invention. They have parades and festivals in Ireland now, but those traditions were imported mainly for tourists

I am irish, and its very major here anyway.

No, don't you see? This person knows better than your lived experience. /s

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Of course it is, they're out enjoying the holiday

Everyone is out drinking and hopefully having a good time. Let them disconnect for a bit and be social.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Indeed.
Difficult to thumb type when both hands are holding a pint.

With what? His knob? Pal's just said they've got a pint in each hand!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Huh. Must have misread that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

That's fair, hard to read a Lemmy post with your phone balanced on your knob while guzzling a double fistful of pint ;)

Wasn’t it yesterday there already? I still find the international dateline confusing 🫤

no idea where in the world you are but you posted this at a time when it was slightly past 5 pm on St. Patrick's Day (2025-03-17) in the Irish time zone, so no

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was momentarily so certain! 😌

To be fair, it's been yesterday everywhere already

Its the 17th of march here in Ireland:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks. I’ve suspected my only Irish friend has been messing with me for the last 20 years. This was the proof I needed ;-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Haha yeah they'll do that

Still on depression for losing the 6 Nations
