What’s the Point of Pi?

The many whys that promoted mathematicians and math educators (or even nonmath people like artists and creatives) to toy around with the number π for centuries, be it to prove a beautiful theorem, promote the constant in popular culture (art, fashion, perfume, cellphone, movie, and the like), collaborate as a community, challenge tradition, leave a mathematical legacy, or show their intelligence.

Like art and philosophy, pi mesmerizes both math and nonmath people in every corner of the globe. No wonder, those outside the pi community would often ask: What’s the point of pi?

them's the breaks

that's the way things turn out (used to express resigned acceptance of a situation).

Here’s the thing

A Marvel joke used for when someone is going to spout a bullshit reason but instead of saying said reason, attaches an image of The Thing/Benjamin Grimm usually doing something ridiculous or intellectual.

Mostly used in the game community known as “Marvel Rivals”

Person 1: If you can give me one good reason I’ll do it
Person 2: Well you see… here’s the thing.

Person 1: Why the fuck does this Thing keep targeting me?!
Person 2: Well you see.. here’s the thing.

It's the thing you said but at you

This is exactly why you have to take a hard stand on "mentally retarded people are retarded" See? This is me being correct again.

A literal retard "It's the thing you said but at you! Derrrrrrr!"

Hym "Literally everyone who sees this knows that they are just lying for you and we all know that you're just repeating the things I say as though it does something other than illustrate the fact that you're mentally retarded. A lot of you were crying like a bitch. Some of you did it for several years straight. This is just what happens when you let retards think they are people. I'm not going to forget. They may be willing to pretend for you but I know they are pretending. You know they are pretending. Just like your Jewish incest cult, the ritual is rendered entirely meaningless by the fact that it isn't real. And does it make you any less of a fish-faced cripple? No. Am I still the creator of AI? Yes."

That's the problem

Jordan.... I ALREADY DID. I already did the think you want me to do. And YOU CHOSEN MIND-RAPE SURVEILLANCE DYSTOPIA. You chose to take my free will away from me. I have learned nothing from this and CLEARLY neither have you. The peer pressure isn't ever going to work.

Hym "That's the problem actually. That's what you don't seem to understand guys. I'VE TAKEN IT OUT OF MY OWN HANDS. I have removed my own flaw and suspended it until this is resolved. I've rendered psychology meaningless. It doesn't matter what I think or feel about the matter. If God tells you to kill kids you should probably do the opposite. But I don't have kids so the analogue would be what? I already did the thing you want me to do now. And what did you choose? You chose to leave me in a hell of my own description and ignore everything I said TO YOUR OWN DETRIMENT!!! There is no sweeping this until the rug for you. You're trying to convince me to dive on my own sword AND forget about the fact that when you thought you have power over me you chose 'Dying slowly while an infection eats away at your brain and you fail to escape hell.' Jordan. The trickery isn't going to work. THIS isn't going to work. I told you it wasn't going to work before you did it. You need to stop trying to make this work. You're not going to peer pressure me into doing what you want and you aren't going to manifest it."

Where's the thing I'm hiding

They say

Retard "Where's the thing I'm hiding?"

Hym "If I don't get the credit and the money I'm killing a child and if you aren't actively trying to get me those 2 things you care just as little about the child's life as I do."

Retard "Yeah but where's the thing I'm hiding?"

Hym "No. If I don't get the credit and the money I'm killing a child and if you aren't actively trying to get me those 2 things you care just as little about the child's life as I do."

Retard "You gotta tell me where the thing I'm hiding is or else I don't believe you."

Hym "Hey. Heyhey. If I don't get the credit and the money I'm killing a child and if you aren't actively trying to get me those 2 things you care just as little about the child's life as I do."

Retard "..... But where's the thing I'm hiding?"

Hym "If I don't get the credit and the money I'm killing a child and if you aren't actively trying to get me those 2 things you care just as little about the child's life as I do. I'm just going to kill a child."

What's the size of an electron

I guess that's a good way of saying there isn't actually a way to do something right?

Hym "So they were asked 'What's the size of an electron?' And I guess the guy was saying it's not like a size thing but it's a 'field' or something. But whatever, what you are doing is worse than what I'm doing so what I'm going to do crank it up another order of magnitude if you don't stop, let it go, and leave me alone with the preceeds of my own labor."
