happy day to the actual circle constant, 6.28 etc.
i live in endless fear that we will be discovered by an alien race and they will ceaselessly mock us for using pi. what an embarrassment
hello i like to make video games and stuff and also have a good time on the computer. look @ my pinned for some of the video games and things. sometimes i am horny on @squishfox

I wonder sometimes if there's some alien culture that has the same debate but landed on the opposite solution, that Tau is standard for them and Pi people are the weird ones.
It does make me wonder if switching to Tau would actually make the other things that pi is useful for more difficult in context.
i don't know how! i've never identified anything that pi is a more "natural" fit for
Euler’s identity strikes me as the most fundamental one where half-tau would feel icky vs using pi
e^(i*pi) = -1 gives more info though; from the tau one it's unclear if square-rooting would give you -1 or 1
and from the pi one it's unclear whether square-rooting would give you -i or i
neither way paints the full picture but i think the more fundamental idea is "a full revolution in the complex plane returns you to unity", not "wow a semicircle is -1 that's weird i guess"
to be fair ultimately a single equation doesn't say enough; from e^(i*tau) = 1 maybe one thinks "is e^(i*x) = 1 for all x?" the more important equation is obviously e^(i*x) = cos x + i sin x, from which it's clear that at x = tau it means a complete revolution

I know Cheeseball is the scrunkliest of your several cats, but is he more or less scrunkly than Crimble? I'm asking this in replies to a post that has nothing to do with either of them because cohost has no other way to @ people
