No it's not, 22/7 is more accurate than 3/14 for Pi. So 22th of July is best pi day.

Real heads know 22 July is the more accurate Pi day.
22/7 = 3.1428
Better 3 ^16^/~113~
What's the 22nd month of the year?
Despite living in the US my whole life, I don't subscribe to the insane mm/dd/yy ordering, it's the most ass backwards shit. That's why I wrote 22 July. Not sure how you got 22nd month out of that when it's unambiguous.
The heck? So are you like a rebel without a cause in the office then?
I write all my dates in military format i.e. dd MMM yyyy, so 16 MAR 2025 for today. Zero ambiguity. I also use 24H time from being in the military and living in Italy for a couple years.
Data Analyst background here. I prefer 20250722
digital artist here. i prefer 2025-07-22 for file sorting and it is easier to read
Technical drafter here,. Agree with you, ISO 8601 is the only right way
On this day 20250315, after many years of searching, I have finally found my people. The logical ones.
That is the mandate for all date structures that I can control.
Hello! I don't intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.
Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

That's all, got it out of my system. Thank you for reading.
That is pretty nice but it does not justify the inconvenience. Glad to have heard it :)
It was a joke.
That part was unambiguous, and the month comment was clearly a joke; however, the very next line you write "22/7". While you meant division, you accidentally wrote common date separator format, which WAS ambiguous and opened the door for the joke.
You could have written 22 ➗ 7 to get the effect you were aiming for ;).
i was born on that day
also it's my birthday too, can I be included as well if it's not too much trouble
Okay but we're tacking on cousin Becky's birthday because it was three weeks ago and that side of thr family is real poor.
for sure no problem
No need to be so rational also happy birthday
Hey also share a birthday. Hope you managed to get cake instead of Pie. Lord knows I'm tired of it.
Sure just post a link to your astrophysics accomplishments.
Its also the birthday and death day of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami who rose the craft to an art form.
Also if you manage to die on the day of your birth by natural causes at 94 I think you deserve extra credit.
The art is honored for his incredible work standardizing it, he really was a treasure
If that is true, than Einstein is the reincarnation of Hawking
Sorry, I prefer tau day.
The problem about τ is that while, sure, you often have 2π but more often than not you have just π which would be τ/2 and doubling is so much easier than halving that it makes up for it
I didn't say tau over pi, I said tau day. It's my birthday. 😋
Ok, that's a point
Happy Brithday!
True. But beware tomorrow.
?
The ides of march
LoL, thanks was so focused on other things I forgot. It's a friends fav. holiday. Some years She does a big party, everyone dresses up in togas and talks about betrayal.
We had pizza, apple pie and cherry almond pie for Pi Day! And also rode bicycles and celebrated circles, arc, curves, and spirals!
