Yeah count me in, 14.3 doesn't make any sense for a πday
But I don’t wanna bake in late July
Well, you could do the 31st of April, but it seems the universe disagrees with your date format.
How about March Fourteenth as "American PI-Day" and 22.07. as "international, sensible and widely understood PI-Day", each according to the used date format?
A third excuse for pi, you say? I think it suits it.
22/07 is already known as "Pi Approximation Day"
Fun fact: 355/113 = 3.14159...
Close enough to pi so that using it for calculating the earth's circumference from its diameter is accurate to within 3 meters.
... or to within π meters?
I chuckled
Why have one pi day when you could have 2?
You're forgetting tau day, June 28th. That's 2*pi. Then we get 3 holidays.
for the greater good
3 is even better!
2*pi already sounds like two holidays rolled into one!
and four pies
One for sweet pies, one for savoury.
FUCK DD/MM FORMAT YYYY-MM-DD IS SUPERIOR
--ISO-8601 GANG
MM-DD-YY will make you cry
"In the year 3141..."
Agreed 🗣️🗣️🗣️
That's nice and helps remember it's 22/7. Americans can have their 14th of March, and let 22/7 be the international pi day.
Some very confused Americans trying to remember the names of the 13th - 22nd months.
But Pi Day doesn't end with the day. There can be Pi Hour, Pi Minute, Pi Second, Pi Milisec...
Is this some worldly date format that I'm too American to understand?
more like a rest-of-the-worldly date format 🙃
A man with an assault rifle at an island killing 77 people, many bellow 18, kinda ruined pi-approximation day in Norway.
I have a Daughter who was born on Pi day. When she was little. she would tell you it's the second most important day, right after Christmas. Pi Day actually became a school wide fun day because of her, (small rural schools can be fun that way). We would bring a couple of pies for her math class to celebrate. Oddly, she much prefers a strawberry cheese cake for her birthday over pies.
I suspect she will NOT allow the change...........
It's close, but the math checks out.
