The dopey dad from the classic cartoon “The Jetsons” is allegedly celebrating his birthday today, July 31, 2022, according to memes that have gone viral.

The math operates as follows: Although it was set in the future, the first season of the show debuted in 1962. That makes the year 2062.

George discloses his age as 40 in the first season of the program. 2062 minus 40 equals the final result.
It is, according to the fact-checking website Snopes looked into the claim , “a realistic guess of his birth year.”

What about the actual day itself? Let’s say that there is a 1-in-365 chance that the memes are accurate. But hey, we already have flat-screen TVs, robot vacuums, and talking watches. Perhaps in a few decades we will also be able to choose our own birthdays.
