The simple explanation of "Opposite Day" is when children declare they mean the opposite of what they say like, "I love doing chores."

However, by declaring January 25th as the official "Opposite Day" it is not, in fact, opposite day because the opposite of opposite day is a normal day. So is it actually opposite day?

This is an ancient logical paradox called the Liar’s Paradox which often takes the form of “I am a liar” or “This sentence is false.” Because the sentence is self-referential and negative.

If you have to be opposite on opposite day can there ever be an opposite day if you are opposite on opposite day?

If you have to be opposite on opposite day, that makes it a day, and then there was no opposite day. But that can't be true since you HAVE to be opposite, which means that you have to be normal even though there is an opposite day because you are supposed to be opposite on opposite day, which means that you act normal as if it was a normal day, because that is the opposite of opposite day. (This is a classic "liar's paradox". Since there is already an opposite day, you should have a normal day because that is the opposite of an opposite day. But then it is not an opposite day.)

Is the following sentence always true IT IS NOT OPPOSITE DAY?

Yes, it is always true. If it was "opposite day", the actual meaning would be taken as 'it is opposite day'. If it was not opposite day, the sentence would be taken as read and would be correct. On Opposite Day : "It is not opposite day" = "It is opposite day" = True On Any Other Day: "It is not opposite day" = "It is not opposite day" = True If you said it WAS Opposite Day, it won't always be true.

There does not seem to be any consistent date on which "opposite day" occurs, and in fact it can occur at any time. It is a game in which everyone involved says the opposite of what they would normally say. (e.g. "I love homework"). (see the related questions)
