Pi day is a fake holiday created by people who don’t know how to format dates. Also, relevant xkcd.
TIL XKCD has a mobile site
YYYY.MM.DD (or similar) is the best (I just think dots look better and keeps the date together in many word processors, where hyphens do not)
DD/MM/YYYY is acceptable.
MM/DD/YYYY needs to be put out of its misery.
Interesting. I prefer hyphens to improve readability
Luckily for you that’s the iso standard haha
I wouldn’t mind if it could be kept on the same line, but I don’t believe there is a non-breaking hyphen in unicode.
You can insert non-breaking hyphens into MS Office programs like word though. Very useful if you’re an engineer and writing out tags in reports all the time (and dislike when they get broken across lines).
The actual print character is a normal hyphen, though.
Thanks for reading my pedantic preferences haha
I think this joke has gone full circle.
Shit and I just ordered a new order of operations
Pie are squared? No, pie are circled!
Pie are round. Cornbread are square!
And all this time, I thought it was the cake that was a lie…
while sly PI stole my mind into infinite cries
of WHY CAN’T IT JUST BE 3.1415???!?!!
developed in a math lab
“One math, please!”
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.
