And all this time, I thought it was the cake that was a lie…
while sly PI stole my mind into infinite cries
of WHY CAN’T IT JUST BE 3.1415???!?!!
I guess I did it wrong, I drove out to a country diner and bought a slice of foot-high chocolate meringue pie.
I’m American, but observe on July 22nd.
so you’re an engineer
Far from it, but I like that 22/7 is numerically closer.
Shit and I just ordered a new order of operations
I think this joke has gone full circle.
Jesse, we need to calculate.
Pi day is a fake holiday created by people who don’t know how to format dates. Also, relevant xkcd.
YYYY.MM.DD (or similar) is the best (I just think dots look better and keeps the date together in many word processors, where hyphens do not)
DD/MM/YYYY is acceptable.
MM/DD/YYYY needs to be put out of its misery.
TIL XKCD has a mobile site
ISO format is the only correct way to format dates.
Aw yeah! UTC gang!
If you want a computer to sort dates in a sane manner, year-month-day is the only option. Anything else is madness.
Biggest to smallest - makes it easy to sort by date for things like folders of photos. And other things, I’m sure.
Biggest to smallest fails though for years which are smaller than the months, and for months which are smaller than the days.
e.g. Dec 1st 2003, would be written 12/03/01 biggest to smallest
I don’t think you’ve thought this through, and frankly I question your mother’s sexual decency.
Four digit years are required, as are dashes. 2012-03-01
Do you even ISO, bro?
nah
Biggest is referring to length of time, not number. Years are bigger than months are bigger than days, temporally.
nah
Thats because they dont have the same starting spot
5045874580890/165951270140/13829272511
DDDDDDDDDDDDD/MMMMMMMMMMMM/YYYYYYYYYYY is the best date format
Finally, a fellow scholar!
I mean biggest to smallest in units of time (year/month/day)
nah
why you guys downvoting this?
this is so obviously satire
It’s harmless fun, come downvote with us!
Ok
You can never trust Big Number.
They keep trying to make laws without going through Congress or the Senate.
Pie are squared? No, pie are circled!
Pie are round. Cornbread are square!
Loved the joke, but I’m distracted. There are cabinets below the white board and storage space above. What is done with the extra space behind the whiteboard? I’m picturing like storage or cubbies in the next classroom over or something?
The whiteboards are on sliders or hinges to access shelving behind.
It’d be wild if the staff can store stuff behind the whiteboards.
Pie was never meant to be commercialised!
(Also come on guys, please stop shortening it to ‘pi’. We’re not restricted by '90s SMS length any more!)
Textbooks.
The version I like better for some reason: Pi day is just a fake holiday created by big math to sell more formulas.
Pi=4
they have taken us for absolute fools
We should just call it four, or pi? One two three pi
It’s mathmagic!
