Pi day is an irrational holiday that was invented by Big US Date Format.

@mattblaze that's all fine and well but the important question is, what pie are you having?

@mattblaze I find it transcendental.

@mattblaze Are you saying we should celebrate Duodecember the Third instead?

[stuartb@social.teamb.space]

@mattblaze The rest of the world shoud start celebrating Pi Day on July 22nd.

@mattblaze
Europeans can keep waiting for April 31 to happen

@mattblaze
format will clean your hard drive, but if that's your Big Date you'll be left feeling empty.

@mattblaze unfortunately there's no third of Duodecember (3/14)

@peterbrown @dalias @mattblaze It entirely depends on your native language/culture. For instance, in Hungary we use year-month-day, and therefore I always found it more logical than any alternative.

These days we tend to say "March fourteenth" and our US written dates reflect that (3/14). In Olde Tymes we said "fourth of July" and the UK written form (4/7) reflects that. I'm not sure which changed first, though I suspect speech.
