It's #PiDay!

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@mina Or American Pi day as I prefer to think of it. 22nd July should really be Pi day, but it has been named Pi approximation day. Which is ironic as 3.14 is a worse approximation for Pi than 22/7.

π is an irrational number. The digits go on forever and ever.

The poor 6 will never be able to cross the street.

[mina@berlin.social]

@kbm0

Indeed!

However: I couldn't let the opportunity pass to post this cute cartoon.

[dot@mastodon.mg]

@mina 0 would be better for that picture.

[zoidbergforpresident@kolektiva.social]

@mina Ok but then... Why a 6?

[edavies@functional.cafe]

@kbm0 Also ISO Pi day.

@Fasgadh @mina

I was going to phrase it "Sharon soon realized that she had made an irrational choice.", but yeah 😂

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@mina

why is six named Sharon?

six always struck me as a Marcia or a Mabel. Maybe a Marcy

[atlovato@mastodon.social]

@mina - 👍

[mina@berlin.social]

@ZoidbergForPresident

I don't think, there's a deeper meaning to the choice of that number.

[mina@berlin.social]

@benroyce

Mabel!

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@mina

thank you! 6 is a Mabel! 🤭

[leonid@norden.social]

@mina very irrational decision...

[mina@berlin.social]

@leonid

Kindness doesn't need to be rational.

@energisch_

Eigentlich erstaunlich, dass du bei über 500 Reaktionen die erste bist, die daran gedacht hat!

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@mina so bye bye American pie, .... 💃 🎶

@hessejames62 du weißt schon dass es irgendwie sexistisch anmutet wenn Männer Frauen ihre eigenen Witze erklären?

@peterbrown @mina I hate MM/DD/YY but I can disregard that for the purposes of creating a day for pi.

[musiciankate@hcommons.social]

@mina @DziadekMick I suppose we could use January 3rd, but that would bring it down to only to digits. The ultimate pi day would be 3/1/4159, but I don’t expect to live long enough to get there.
