A joyous occasion bringing all peoples together in the relatively holiday-less month of August, celebrated on the 222nd day of the year, August 10th. Originally "Día del Primer Grito de Independencia de Quito," Quito (Ecuador) Independence day, the tradition of celebration has translated to all walks of life via the magic of the internet. Because most people can't be bothered to say "Día del Primer Grito de Independencia de Quito," the term "international awesome day" was adopted instead.
“Totally awesome day” is a parody dogwhistle meaning “total alien death”. Alien in this instance is used to refer to extraterrestrials as in martians and not human immigrants.
The phrase comes from a TikTok where it is used in the comment sections of human supremacy edits. These edits often involve the idea of humans being superior to other lifeforms, usually because humans were ‘made in the image of god’ or some similar reason.
Basically it’s space racism.
Virgin Martian: “Bleep plam human flirp?”
Chad Human: “Have a totally awesome day!”
Virgin Martian: “Globu kling blorp… D:”
Hides the acronym TAD which means Total Alien Death. A play on the racist neo-nazi Totally Nice Day meaning Total N***er Death. Popularized by tiktok in a xenophobic trend following “the indomitable human spirit”
