I was in my oscillarium, reading the stars, when I happened on this post from a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/jqnx49/the_owl_house_characters_birthdays/. It got me wondering about birthdays for different characters on the show, and I could only come up with a good working theory for one character: Hunter.

I've been a casual enthusiast of Genealogy for years now, and recently I'd been reading up on Astronomy and Calendar systems. I figured that this would be a neat application of the stuff I've studied so far.

I'm going to list my sources below, in case anyone wants to check my work. I have arrived at the following proposed date and time of birth for Hunter: 28 October 2004 03:07 UTC (27 October 2004, at 8:07 PM Pacific Time/11:07 PM Eastern Time in the Americas). My reasons are as follows:

• Dana stated in 2021 that Hunter is 16 years old, implying a birth year of 2004 or 2005.
• In the linked post, it is implied that none of the characters will have summer birthdays.
• In 2004, 28* October is the date of the Hunter's Moon. This is the next full moon following the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox.
• In 2004, the Hunter's Moon occurred during a lunar eclipse, which would make this date all the more auspicious and interesting. This 80-minute eclipse experienced its greatest magnitude at 03:04 UTC, about 3 minutes before the precise time of the full moon (03:07 UTC).

In summary, I propose that Hunter was born during the Lunar Eclipse of the Hunter's Moon in 2004. I don't exactly know what year the Owl House takes place (2020 or 2021), but I figured this might be a fun exercise nonetheless.

By now, you know I've a huge fan of local government. It's even better when it is boring, bland, and just a bunch of proposals on how to use our tax money instead of this needless Political Fringe Sh*tshow of 30 clowns from Tim Fitch's district that Ernie Trakas makes it even worse by expanding the public forum for more conspiracy nuts.

Since their presence only makes watching these meetings more taxing to my psyche and since almost every talking point they present are the same 10 things that are about people unhappy with how a LOCAL election turned out or is the Micky Mouse Club for Man-children unhappy that we didn't die at the hands of Nukey McNumbnuts so that they can meet Jesus and avoid paying off whatever debts they owe that their children will more than likely pay for, I have a few suggestions on how to put an end to that.

There will be mischief but hopefully no mayhem.

1. Show up at the meeting cosplaying as an FBI agent. Since Fuck Josh Hawley is currently adding some paranoia because a few Kens and Karens in Tennessee threatened their school board, those school boards actually will be getting a visit from the Feds, but more than likely they will be undercover. Remember, it is illegal to do FBI stuff if you are not an FBI agent, but there's not rule against dressing up in a "Female Body Inspector" T-Shirt. Airplanes have Sky Marshals. Council meetings more than likely already have The Fuzz in plain clothes anyway.
2. Three minutes on the problems with Hotdogs and Hotdog Buns. Life is short, and honestly, I should be working on other things myself right now. But every time someone shows up to the Council Meeting with some conspiracy theory about the vaccine, it's like 3 minutes of being strapped to The Machine from The Princess Bride. There are more enlightening topics to talk about like "Does the Pope sh*t in the woods" or "Why do hotdogs come in packs of 10 and hotdog buns in packs of 8" or explaining "Why kids can't resist the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch."
3. The Pastafanarian's Quandary. At least two people show up to these meetings including Christian Science Dave every week telling us how wearing masks and getting vaccinated are "not part of God's will" or that "these are the signs of the beast" or "you're all gonna burn in hell". But what if you don't pray to White Republican Gun-toting Jesus like these people? What if your god is a plate of Flying Spaghetti and you are more

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

It's that time of the year where posts about neo-pagans "owning" christians with "facts" start popping up. Here's a good little read from Brute Norse about how Yule is not Christmas

Norse Yuletide Sacrifices Had (Almost) Nothing To Do With The Winter Solstice

>In imitating the exemplary acts of a god or of a mythic hero, or simply by recounting their adventures, the man of an archaic society detaches himself from profane time and magically re-enters the Great Time, the sacred time.– Mircea Eliade, The Sacred and the Profane

Yule lads roasting on an open fire, spirits of the ancestral dead nipping at your nose. It's the most wonderfully strange time of the year. You know, that time when the sun proverbially turns, prying the coming spring from the cold dead hands of winter darkness. Where we spend all our money on symbolic trinkets, and open our hearts and doors to friends, family, and fire hazard in great abundance.

Oh yes, my friends, Christmas is here again, though we don't call it that in Scandinavia. We call it jul. It's an old word, handed down across the generations from the Old Norse jól, which in turn has cognates in several other Germanic languages. The occasion, or so it appears, was also referred to by other terms, such as miðsvetrarblót (midwinter sacrifice), and Hǫkunótt (etymology uncertain). I'll generally stick to Yule and jól for the duration of the article.

As sure as some birds fly South in the winter, so come the articles about the apparent continuity of certain Christmas traditions, like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and every festive dinner food on the Scandinavian table (though some of them are hardly a century old). I will save my heart the strain of going down that rabbit hole of disinformation and misconception today, but I will give you a fairly comprehensive run-down of one of the most popular misconceptions about pre-Christian yuletide celebrations: The time and date.

Time is an important aspect of ritual, whether you approach the subject with personal investment, or academic distance. I wrote this article with a varied audience in mind, and as always, my iconoclasm is motivated by a wish to raise awareness, and impose a minimal sense quality and critic

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

But let me give it a shot.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
