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.
well yeah, there’s no 14th monthTell me you are from
the USNorth America without telling meThey could be from Canada too. We’re in that fun zone of being mostly Oxford/metric/DMY, but due to proximity and history we still use a lot of Webster/imperial/MDY. My dad is from the past so he speaks in Fahrenheit but calls it “English”. Send help.
However, saying “July 23rd” feels more natural and efficient to me than “The 23rd of July”. That translates to me writing 07/23 over 23/07. To each their own though, I’m not gonna harsh any mellows over date formatting.
as if my Florida Man posting didn’t already give it away :P
that said I have learned to prefer YYYY-MM-DD for all my cataloguing needs on computer because it sorts far more easily
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.
3 is even better!
looks at today’s date
…darn, I did forget Tau Day. :(
Let’s get some pies and celebrate
2*pi already sounds like two holidays rolled into one!
for the greater good
and four pies
We should have approximately 3 pi days
I propose that during a 113 day period we have exactly 355 pi days. That would be an avrage of 3,14159 pi days per year
More like π days per day
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.

But Pi Day doesn’t end with the day. There can be Pi Hour, Pi Minute, Pi Second, Pi Milisec…
Do NOT give my one Daughter anymore ideas than she already has!
This was waaay too low
Some very confused Americans trying to remember the names of the 13th - 22nd months.
- Undecimber
- Duodecimber
- Tredecimber
- Quattordecimber
- Quindecimber
- Sedecimber
- Septendecimber
- Duodevigintiber
- Undevigintiber
- Vigintiber
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.
TIL that not only is it legal to own guns in Norway, apparently you guys have a fairly high percentage of gun ownership.
Absolutely, but acquiring a weapon legally is a process involving the police and requires a sensible intent (like hunting, sports or defense against polar bears) and an approved safe storage. While there are a lot of weapons in Norway, it’s very heavily regulated.
With that said, the terror in Norway was performed with a firearm which was obtained legally with approval from the police, so the system is far from perfect.
What an oddly specific trigger. I’m sure 3/14 has a tragic past somewhere too. 🤔
From the wiki:
2019 – Cyclone Idai makes landfall near Beira, Mozambique, causing devastating floods and over 1,000 deaths.
2021 – Burmese security forces kill at least 65 civilians in the Hlaingthaya massacre.It’s recent enough that it still haunts the people of the country. It’s also not an every day occurrence like in America.
Where’s the love for tau day
I was looking for you. Or someone like you. Or someone other than you.
I need a Tau advocate and you got the job.
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…
Cheesecake is pie though
Cheese cake is either a custard or Tart depending on ingredients. But it’s not a pie.
Not very odd. It’s traditional to use a cake for bday instead of pie.
But not for Pi Day. Having taught classrooms how to calculate Pi by tossing “frozen hot dgos” and literally timing the period of the swing of an apple pie suspended from the ceiling, it’s pies or nothing!
It’s close, but the math checks out.
Jokes on you, I’m too dumb to get it!
Yeah, that makes me want to celebrate my birthday more
What’s the 14th month?
This… this is why we have no friends, brain:)
