Do you celebrate March 14 as Pi Day?

#EvanPoll #poll

[jamie@cosocial.ca]

@evan Fun story, 3 years back I was runner up to be "Pi" in the big Pi Day celebrations here in Markham. Some local council member used their political leverage to get it for their kid instead and it's put me off celebrating ever since. Sure I still go to the parade and support the pizza and baked good sales, but it just all feels like a sham now. Even the Pi costume and the mini cheesecakes they throw at us just don't have the same heft as they used to. #NotMyPiDay

("celebrate"?)

@jamie@cosocial.ca @evan@cosocial.ca no but it still tickles me a little 😊

[chigaze@mstdn.ca]

@evan More recognize than celebrate although we are ordering pizza today. I do have friends who go all out and big get together with many, many, many pies.

[philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com]

@evan Yes, but it’s an ongoing exercise in trying to be a person who prioritizes having fun, over being a person who grins their teeth at the MM/DD date format.

@evan Thank you for this poll

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@jamie this is a good story

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@penryu welcome to my oll. Notice there is no "p" in it. Let's keep it that way.

@nizarus reshared, Ty!

@evan Yes, but this year I forgot and I don't really have pie ingredients.

[jamie@cosocial.ca]

@evan in all seriousness though I demand photographic proof from those who “celebrate”. I need to see party hats and blowers, balloons, rented bouncy castles and clowns, etc. I do not subscribe to the idea that ordering a pizza and having some lemon meringue for dessert constitutes “celebration”. That’s just a dressed-up Tuesday night in my books.

@evan Having pizza (pie) tonight with a pie to be named later for dessert. Hoping to post in about 90 minutes to really celebrate. #PiDay

[jimfl@hachyderm.io]

@evan What I celebrate is any excuse to eat pie

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@evan Mostly to point out tau > pi

[ubik@fedi.turbofish.cc]

@evan No, because in the rest of the world the month comes after the day. I know there is no 31 April, but still, celebrating it on 14/3 would feel weird.

[dneary@mastodon.ie]

@evan Yes, but ... 22/7 is a better approximation, and month-first dates are not common worldwide.

[rpsu@mas.to]

@evan I celebrate it 31.4.

No wait.

[philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com]

@jamie Inversely, some may be jealous that your Tuesday nights apparently amount to a celebration every week.

Certainly the luxury of being able to order food amounts to a serious celebration for some.

@jamie people celebrate how they celebrate.
