It seems, according to the cultural barometer that is Twitter TWTR +2.12% hashtags, that today is National Send a Nude Day.

Yes, for some strange reason, today is a designated day for forever scarring the people in your life with pictures of things that may appear bigger…or smaller, to you.

At first glance, it seems like something a desperate horndog would say to get women to send him nudes but for some unknown reason, the internet hive-mind has latched onto this most lascivious of occasions.

I did some digging and for all intents and purposes, this seems to be the inaugural National Send a Nude Day.

In 2014 a similar event, the National Send Your Man a Nude Day briefly lit up the internet before fading into obscurity.

The working theory here is that this is either a single tweet gone awry or that it came from within twitter itself.

Whatever the reason may be and however temporal this event may be, we can all find solace in the fact that people around the world all united for one day to celebrate that most primal of human art forms…the Nude Selfie.
