This is a serious question, and I do not expect joke answers.
I'm not sure that is a valid expectation. Can you show me the math?

It's 50/50. Either it happens or it doesn't.

Here is a program doing numerical calculations, which I do not see why they would not count as math: https://flatassembler.github.io/birthday_paradox

Your programme is flawed. If I enter '100' in the collisions field, the probability computes at 0%. This means that in a group of 23 people, there is no chance that they all share the same birthday. While such a coincidence is statistically unlikely, the probability is non-zero.

You're back on the birthday thing. I want to see the math for the odds of a funny post showing up in a serious thread.

I had a classmate who shared the same birthday and birthyear as mine. Out of 2 people that's a 100% chance...kind of skews the odds doesn't it?

I once escorted a former girlfriend to a Leap Day Party. Out of the 120 (or so) principal invitees, 100% percent had the same birthday - 29 February.

That's my wedding anniversary. In 2024 we will have had 8 anniversaries...yet it feels like 30 already.

Boru So, where do you think the error lies? https://flatassembler.github.io/birthday_paradox.aec

The error is that you do not understand any of it.
Is that clear enough?
