Something like MMDDYYYY is simply disordered, not sorted according to size, neither decreasing nor increasing, just chaotic. Claiming such a 'pi day' looks arbitrary hence.

Last true pi day was 31.4.1592, next will be 3141-5-9 or 3.1.4159. Half pi day will be the 31st of April FWIW.

:oops: Point taken. :oops: Even less true pi days! :shock: So we have to go back to 3.1.415 or 314.1.5.

We should make sure to celebrate all the round anniversaries that we can! :)

I have yet to read a convincing theory about traveling back in time. Forward is easier, or at least to slow down time by traveling fast and return to earth, having aged just as a small percentage of earthlings ;-)

If traveling back in time became possible, I would travel back to the late 80’ies, and steal the HP-41CV (including NAV pack, Time module, CCD module, tape machine, wand, magnetic reader, video moduke+NEC Monitor) and HP-75 from myself, before I stupidly sold it to buy a PC 🤣

Back is easy - you just have to travel faster. ;)

I agree. For me, there is no doubt that pi day is irrational.
