Happy Pi Day /prog/!

π (or pi) is one of the most important constants in mathematics and has a variety of interesting properties (which you can read about at wikipedia)

One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal, which is to say that its digits are all distributed evenly, with the implication that it is a disjunctive sequence, meaning that all possible finite sequences of digits will be present somewhere in it. If we consider π in base 16 (hexadecimal) , it is trivial to see that if this conjecture is true, then all possible finite files must exist within π. The first record of this observation dates back to 2001.

From here, it is a small leap to see that if π contains all possible files, why are we wasting exabytes of space storing those files, when we could just look them up in π!

You niggers are missing the point here.

Redefining a variable just because you're too fucking lazy to write a leading factor is like changing your name to "A" because you're too lazy to write your full name every time you want to write a love letter for your boyfriend.

It's a goddamned 2, for fuck's sake. Do you also want to give a special name to 2*sqrt(2)? What about integrals of ab respect to b? They are everywhere and are the clunky looking 1/2 * ab^2. Well, let's redefine it as aB because I'm such a lazy fuck! Derivatives of x^2 respect to x are also very common. Should we come up with a χ manifesto too?

All the energy you've wasted discussing this pointless shit should be instead redirected into something useful like
