Not entirely true as there are times of the year where couples are more sexually active, for example valentine's day, Christmas, New years, etc.

Except it is true, there is a 1/365 chance it is your birthday today.

What if you were born on February 29th?

You don’t understand probabilities then. If all factors are equal, then sure, but human interactions are cyclical, resource dependent, and have extrinsic factors that cause fluctuations in birthing rates, thus creating an unequal distribution map. You’re wrong.

If I point to any person on the planet, statically the chance of it being their birthday is 1/365. That is how that works.

No, it is not. Not even close. If you are in the US, the month that has the most birthdays is August, which then skews the likelihood of drawing a specific date. Dude, pay attention in maths.

Maybe when you’re 4.

Show me I'm mathematically wrong then.

If nothing else, there is 1/365 it is your birthday today.

This can’t happen under your model. https://www.zippia.com/advice/most-least-common-birthdays/

The world is bigger than the US. I have only said the world/planet. Your "evidence" is wrong, it is too narrow. But let me just throw in a random link too, just to show you how it looks, if you just post links http://www.bandolier.org.uk/booth/Risk/birthday.html

Then according to some superstition, your life will be full of suffering and bad luck.
