Where did fathers day come from?

hallmark maybe?

yeah, i guess it’s all just one big commercial scheme

the Greek god fathersese was the father of a lot of Olympian gods. And the greeks believed that if you praise fathersese when your having trouble concieving then you will reproduce. Eventually Rome adopted the tradition with the conquest of Greece.

Ok I made all that up. My guess is Hallmark

Here you go.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Fluther dads!

Happy Flutherer’s Day!

@iwamoto aren’t all holidays like that

mwa, not sure, i mean, it gives me a chance to show my appreciation by buying my family and friends gifts….ugh, that sounds wrong

It started in Spokane, Washington, when a woman’s father had died or something, and she wanted to do like a big parade in order to celebrate him. Eventually it caught on. There is debate though between the democrates and republicans on which president made it an official holiday.

Gender equality would be my guess. Fairness at play…now back to Dio for me.
