The version I like better for some reason: Pi day is just a fake holiday created by big math to sell more formulas.
I think this joke has gone full circle.
If you think this is bad, how about the fact that Americans only have one math!
The time has come to stop the greedy hoarding of maths by Europeans. Let’s open up our hearts and donate another math or two to these poor unfortunate souls.
We tried coming up with some new math so that we’d have more than one, but it was met with significant pushback.
It was starting to change under Biden, but Trump put tariffs on importing math.
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?
It’d be wild if the staff can store stuff behind the whiteboards.
I’ve been hoodwinked!
Pi day is a fake holiday created by people who don’t know how to format dates. Also, relevant xkcd.
If you want a computer to sort dates in a sane manner, year-month-day is the only option. Anything else is madness.
ISO format is the only correct way to format dates.
Aw yeah! UTC gang!
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.
I mean biggest to smallest in units of time (year/month/day)
nah
Biggest is referring to length of time, not number. Years are bigger than months are bigger than days, temporally.
nah
Four digit years are required, as are dashes. 2012-03-01
Do you even ISO, bro?
nah
For a few brief years, there’s was a men’s alternative to Valentines day. “Steak & Blowjobs day” was held exactly one month later, on March 14.
I have never seen such a surge in love for mathematics since then. Women around the world who barely know what Pi represents were suddenly very aware that March 14 was Pi day.
Women around the world probably remember that pi is nowhere near 14,3.
We celebrate tau day in this household
Heresy
The only real pi day was in 1592. Everything else is just temporal appropriation
This doesn’t work with the DMY format and cannot be accepted.
Well DMY format is no fun, then!
Pi=4
they have taken us for absolute fools
We should just call it four, or pi? One two three pi
