When Is National Tin Foil Hat Day???
Editorial - Sunday, October 13, 2024
With all the nutjob conspiracy theories flowing out of unprotected brains after the hurricanes and other natural disasters, I began telling people to put on their tin-foil hats -- way too often.
This morning, I decided to see if there was an actual "National Tin Foil Hat Day," and I guess the conspiracy theorists will have a ball of tin foil, knowing there is NO consensus as to when that day actually is. It must be a conspiracy theory by the Secret Societies!!!
The hardest part of this post was deciding which organization to preview. Of course, the cat with the tin-foil hat won. Hey, did I just make up a new Dr. Seuss character??? I want my royalties!!!

Kaspersky Labs, a computer anti-malware company, wrote a blog for International Tin Foil Hat Day on April 1, 2016. I'm not sure why they picked April Fool's Day as the day?
SNIP - Faced with these constant threats to our thoughts, we decided to attract attention to the issue — by coming up with International Tin Foil Hat Day! And it’s no accident that this year was chosen for introducing this new special day, since this year is the 120th since the invention of mind-reading-preventing tin foil hats. - END SNIP

SNIP - Every year on 13th May celebrate International Tin Foil Hat Day with a friendly and light-hearted march to provoke thought about the modern world and where it is going, and even more to the point, do we want to go there?
They call it 'progress', but is it?
Why are so many people depressed and sick if progress is so wonderful?
Why are we becoming increasingly lonely in a contactless world? - END SNIP

Last, but certainly not least, the Pastafarian Calendar (wordplay parody of Rastafarian) declared September 11, 2022, as Tin Foil Hat Day. I like how the post signed off -- R'amen! 
SNIP - Tinfoil Hat Day is a Pastafarian Holy Day which occurred on Sunday, September 11, 2022.

R’amen! - END SNIP
