Why do people even bother memorizing more than 4 digits? It's not like you'll ever need anymore than that.
why do people even bother playing blockland? it's not like you'll ever need to know how the game works later in life.

well
if blockland:"improves hand-eye coordination"::then i'd say that pi:improves memory skills

everyone here is loving stuff at making brown townogies jesus christ

Fun fact: It only takes 38 decimal places of pi to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to within the width of 1 single hydrogen atom.

I remember 3.141, that's all

I can only remember 3.14159 off of the top of my head.

But the universe is constantly expanding, therefore the number of decimal places is constantly increasing.

I don't think I understand numbers.

I don't think you understand numbers.
Number of decimals needed to make that estimation*

Numbers in general.

yeah maybe by like 1 every few dozen billion years lol

every time it expands by 10x it would require 1 more decimal

it's simple math, and i understand it perfectly

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm simply injecting my perspective on it.
