Ever heard of the National Send-a-Doodle Day? This day, often misinterpreted as something not quite safe for work, actually refers to everyone sharing their art and creativity with others. It had been significantly misunderstood but let's set the record straight!

When is Send Nudes Day?

It's national send nudes day on the 18th April.


A Brief History

Even though there were 30823 mentions of the day online, it's fascinating to note that the majority of these occurred on April 18, 2019. It seems this particular day in spring really captured people's 'doodling' enthusiasm last year. If you're wondering why doodling, then grab a cup of tea (or coffee, we don't judge), and enjoy the little journey we offer into the world of plucky cartoon sketches and stick-figure extravaganza.

The Art of Doodling

Doodling, contrary to popular opinion, isn't just aimless scribbling; it’s an outlet for creativity that helps improve memory, concentration, and relieve stress. People find their inner Picasso, and every out-of-line shape you sketch becomes a masterpiece worthy of sharing.

Give Doodles, Not Noodles

So where did the confusion arise? A small mishap in the digital game of whispers turned 'doodle' into 'noodle', and consequently, the name was misinterpreted by a few online users, leading to an internet joke turned colossal misunderstanding. But as all great stories go, sometimes, a little confusion is what it takes to make a day unforgettable!
