Shouldn't this actually be people who celebrate Pi day and People who write the date correctly?

[-] silvana 10 points 3 weeks ago

if you write the date in iso8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) it still works. which is just as valid (more valid if we are talking about date entry for computers) as (DD-MM-YYYY).

Seeing as I think this digital existence thing is gonna be more than a minor trend, YYYY-MM-DD is the only form that matters. In fact, months or minutes should be changed in language to better fit and eliminate the ambiguity of MM.

Well, no, because that's no fun

I'm giving a cream pie for pi day

I watched 3 Blue 1 Brown's video on colliding squares in an idealized frictionless environment reproducing an approximation of π in the number of collisions. I came up a little short in my understanding, but in my defense it is still 3.13 here ATM.

Tomorrow I will maybe do some CAD, and seeing as how proper design for the topological naming issue in CAD is due to π truncation in the tree, I'd call that my act of obeisance.
