  It’s a plot by Big Math.

  Tau Day was first. specifically created as a day to promote tau over pi being used (because 2 pi is always better than one.) (sorry. sorry. Couldn’t resist.)

      I’m curious. How long were you sitting on that?

    Tau isn’t real, it’s a social construct. Think about it: did you ever see tau in nature? “I have eaten tau apples” said no one ever. Face it: it’s made up by humans and isn’t real in any meaningful way

      considering that pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to it’s diameter, where tau is the ratio of a circles circumference to it’s radius, anywhere you see 2pi in nature, you’re seeing tau, too.

      Don’t mind me. I just like making bad math puns; so 2pi will always be better than 1. (especially around my family… quite vociferous about which pie is best. Apple, btw.)

    Tau is heresy, being foul xenos and all

      People working together for the greater good? Bad.

      Space Christo-fascism? Good.

      WH40K memes are weak.

    honestly I think I wanna write (2*pi) every time I need tau just to avoid confusing others. Maybe make it auto-subsitute or something. But many mechanical engineers have no idea why to use tau and use 2pi instead.

      Just use 1/2 tau anytime you need pi instead. Eventually they’ll learn.

  If it’s a conspiracy, it’s one I can get down with. My college was celebrating today by having free mini one person pies available for students and staff. They were just cheap store ones, but that helped make my lunch easier to decide on.

  One math please.

    if you want to know the percentage of something (e.g.: 6% of 50) you can swap the numbers around: 6% of 50 = 50% of 6 = 3
    that is because it’s simply a multiplication, 6% of 50 = 6/100 * 50 = 6 * 50/100 = 50% of 6

  The hype over it is totally irrational.

  The circumference of a circle divided by the diameter is exactly three.

  Big Math just made up all this bullshit about there being an infinite number of digits after the three to sell more expensive calculators.
