Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.

The women fighting are labeled "mathematicians defining pi" and "engineers just using 3 because it's within tolerance"

The man smoking is labeled "astrophysicists" and the pipe is labeled "pi = 1"

    LOL. That's not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.

    What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.

    A very good question, I think it was in an old DIY wood crafts book for older kids. I'm gonna dig through my book boxes to see if I find it :) Any excuse to go through them!

    Edit: I'm autistic so it's not uncommon to read stuff to literally, so don't worry
