Hmmm, I don't think there is a 7 in π.

π = 3.141602553590

Happy to be proven wrong!

That's not pi? You have some odd rounding.

π ≈ 3.1415926535897

So you get 7 pretty quickly. To get a 0 you need,

π ≈ 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 50

That's not π, you've got spaces in there. Space is not a digit???!?

And what with the funny waves at the start? Looks like the Thai flag?

"≈" lmao

Bro are you trolling? I can't tell

I thought this was a shitposting community 😢

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not. It's a meme page. No jokes allowed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, everywhere in the world the shitposters minority is radicalised by the memeing community with this sort of abuse. More and more are turning to deep frying memes. I thought it was too extreme at first but I start to understand them 🤣💯👌

Akchwelly, spaces are digits and that's what bothers me about the meme: there do be spaces in π.

The first time a 7 appears in Pi is 13 digits after the decimal point.

Dude, you trust some numbers you found on the internet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Uh no.... I trust this power series expansion formula I found..... .....on the internet

Where did you get that value of pi. Pi is 3.14159265358979323846264~~323338950~~338327950. That’s 32 digits (to the first zero) and there’s definitely every number in it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah bro you got it wrong it's

3.1415926535897932384626433 not 432 smh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You’re correct. To be fair I posted without coffee from memory so I was bound to get a few wrong. My point still stands. All numbers are in pi in the first 32 digits.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm doing some internal rounding, it's cutting edge mathematics. Maybe you're not ready for this.

You look trustworthy, I'll use this value for my computations for our next Starship rocket

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, I'll memorize instead of the 3.14159265 I know from other sources

As far as we know Pi goes on forever and never repeats. If you assign letters to the numbers you can theoretically find your name in Pi at some place. At another place your address. And at another point the whole bible but with your name instead of God.

Kind of like the infinite monkey theorem.

This page lets you search the first 200 million digits of Pi for any number. Try to see if your birthday is in there.
