3.1415926… there is 6 in pi, I believe the joke is that it’s an irrational number so the line never stops

Oh sure, but in 6 years someone at a dinner party is gonna say “did you know there is no 6 in π” because they read my comment. At that moment my life’s purpose will be fulfilled.
Mischief managed.

π has an infinite amount of decimals.

So does every number:
6.000000…

Or 5.999… It’s equal to 6 but it appears to have a much more impressive decimal expansion

Nope, the proof has been known since ancient times!
mkwt@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The proof is not that ancient. Pi was proven to be irrational in 1761, and proven to be transcendental in 1882.
For a long time the problem was known as “squaring the circle”: Given a circle in a plane, construct a square with the same area using a compass and straightedge. This was a famous unsolved problem in mathematics from antiquity all the way through the renaissance.
