Real heads know 22 July is the more accurate Pi day.

22/7 = 3.1428

i was born on that day

Better 3 ^16^/~113~

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

No it's not, 22/7 is more accurate than 3/14 for Pi. So 22th of July is best pi day.

Okay but we're tacking on cousin Becky's birthday because it was three weeks ago and that side of thr family is real poor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

No need to be so rational also happy birthday

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Hey also share a birthday. Hope you managed to get cake instead of Pie. Lord knows I'm tired of it.

Sure just post a link to your astrophysics accomplishments.

For everyone else its the 3rd of Tetradecember

Its also the birthday and death day of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami who rose the craft to an art form.

Also if you manage to die on the day of your birth by natural causes at 94 I think you deserve extra credit.

The art is honored for his incredible work standardizing it, he really was a treasure

If that is true, than Einstein is the reincarnation of Hawking

Sorry, I prefer tau day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The problem about τ is that while, sure, you often have 2π but more often than not you have just π which would be τ/2 and doubling is so much easier than halving that it makes up for it

I didn't say tau over pi, I said tau day. It's my birthday. 😋

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Ok, that's a point

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Happy Brithday!

We had pizza, apple pie and cherry almond pie for Pi Day! And also rode bicycles and celebrated circles, arc, curves, and spirals!
