The “true value of pi” is too large for any computer to store. Our current understanding of numbers says it’s an infinite number of digits. On the other hand, any number you use to multiply with pi is far less than an infinite number of digits. So you get the correct answer, with no worse precision than your input value, using the approximations of pi.

I hit it with Google Lens.
dad’s friend, li call him Bob, is dring a ng out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere oregon
has to make the delivery by the following morning so he decides to just drive through the night
it’s like ane in the morning, no one else is out on the roads
Phaant seen another car in probably a hundred miles
he is literally in the middle of nowhere
suddenly the whole entire sky lights up
matantly like daylight
Bob fuckin slams on the breaks, has no idea what the hell is going on
everything stays lit up for a good solid ten seconds, he can see everything
whatever’s happening, it’s not lightning, it doesn’t stop or flicker at all
Bob hunkers down, anticipating imminent nuclear devastation
suddenly sky goes dark again
no sound, no blast waw
he sits there in the middle of the road waiting for almost five minutes, then decides to keep going
figures it was a meteor or something
goes about two miles up the road and sees a car with its flashers on stopped in the middle of the road
stops a good distance away from t
there’s not enough room to go around it
front end of the car is crumpled the it hit something
Bob figures they probably hit a deer that got spooked whenever the meteor went over and ran into the road
the gets out of the cab and goes to see if the driver is okay
diver is sitting on the ground by the diver side door
has his knees up and is testing his head on his ams
Hey buddy you okay? Bob calis
he stops about ten feet away for seemingly no reason
something about the whole siiation feels weed
Bob is one of those guys that always listens to his gut so he stays put
God my head is killing me." The guy says, but he doesnt lift his head up so it’s muffled
Did you hit a deer? Bob asks
she’s getting more and more uneasy
somethings wrong
(cont)

but he still can’t figure out what exactly it is
the guy says he think he might have hurt his head, asks Bob to please help him
Blob takes a step forward but his natincts are going apeshit
he looks at everything again
that’s when he notices it
the fucking car is all wrong
it looks like what someone thinks a car looks like
it has all the right pieces but there’s nothing extra, if that makes sense
Blob says it looked like a cheap hot wheels knock-off, it just looked wonky and wrong
he looks around at the back of the car and realizes that not only is there no license plate, there’s not even a trunk
it’s just one solid piece of material with taillights put in it
there’s no manufacturer or model names
Bob knows cars, and this thing is nothing he’s ever seen before.
from where he’s standing, he can see there’s no tailpipe or even hubcaps
t’s just the shape of a car
he starts to back up and the guy asks him for help again
Bob tells him he can’t help him and that he’ll call a tow truck when he gets to the next town
the guy ifta his head and looks at Bob
tells him he thinks he might have a concussion
something is really really wrong with the guys face but again it takes a second for Bob to figure it out
The next part is exactly how Bob described it
everything on the mans face was where it should have been, in their normal positions
The looked totally normal
except for the fact that his eyes and mouth wers on upside down
Bob goes apeshit and sprints back to his nig
climbs in, locks the door just in time for the man to slam into the door behind him
how the fuck did he get there so fast
he knocks on the glass and smiles at Bob but because his mouth is upside down it looks like he’s screaming
telis Bob to open the door so he can come in
Bob fucking floors it
doesn’t care if the hits the guy or not
Phis trick easily pushes the “car” out of the way
whatever it is, it’s light and it makes no sound when he hits it

Unfortunately it’s an anticlimactic ending.
Bob got where he was going fine, with no other problems. My dad knows the story, but I don’t think he believes it.
But Bob tells it to everyone he meets, so he obviously does
He’s absolutely adamant about the guy being an alien
Years later I heard about the Thatcher Effect and nearly had a fucking heart attack when I saw it
I showed one of the pictures to Bob and he wouldn’t even look at it
He says it’s exactly what the guy looked like.
