this thread is going to be filled with people making pie or something.

anyways, my favorite pie is sweet potato pie, how 'm'mmnmabout you? 

 

[Geonovast]

Didn't make any, I'm usually too lazy.  Also sucks that it's on a weekend, we usually do something at work for it.  So we went light this year since it's just three of us.

I couldn't get any pie, but I had some circular tacos for dinner!

*Laugh while using the 2020-03-14 format*

Seriously, I turned myself to use YYYY—MM-DD years ago, and wouldn’t go back to any of the two others. I also like how it easily lists files per date with computers.

No, that’s why YYYY-MM-DD is the way to go; it’s unambiguous and will be sorted the way you want it without having to resort to (potentially faulty) date conversion.

With the US “leading the field” when it comes to making up holidays (like pi day and star wars day) it’s inevitable that these days become popular based on the US date format. And it’s also inevitable that the rest of the world wonders who makes this up.

Regardless, it’s the wrong day to celebrate. June 28th is far more appropriate.

I disagree.  By the end of yesterday, exactly half of our pie was eaten.

Because τ is a much better representation for the circumference of a circle. A lot of trigonometry becomes much simpler when using τ instead of π, and from a math point of view, the radius as the defining element of a circle is much more sensible (even though in engineering the diameter makes more sense).

22/7 was used for long times as pi.

So, July, 22.
