George Jetson was born on July 31, 2022 - at least according to the internet.
A new meme claiming that the father in the cartoon "The Jetsons" was indeed born on July 31 has been circulating online, and while the actual show never reveals his birthday, the show first aired in 1962 and was set 100 years in the future. Jetson reveals he is 40 in the first season, meaning that he would have been born in 2022.
The idea that he was born on July 31 came from a tweet posted by Brendan Kergin on July 28. The tweet included a photo of a chart of information from a fan website that listed Jetson's birthday as the 31st. "I don't mean to alarm anyone, but someone is about to give birth to George Jetson," Kergin wrote.

Roughly 50 years after the first episode of “The Jetsons” premiered, fans are gearing up to celebrate the birth of George Jetson, which according to lore, is July 31, 2022. But is that really his birthday?
On Thursday, a hawk-eyed fan pointed out that “someone is about to give birth” to the show’s main character, via a fan site listing the family patriarch’s exact birthdate.
The animated sitcom created by William Hannah and Joseph Barbera took place in the 21st century. Although no mention to a specific year was ever made in the show, promotional materials and articles from the time explained that it was set exactly 100 years in the future, according to MeTV.
Further evidence can be found in the episode “Test Pilot,” which aired Dec. 30, 1962. When Jetson’s doctor tells him he “should live to be 150,” he replies, “I’ve got 110 good years ahead of me!” – making him 40 years old.
