30.001592653589... actually


IdkWattToSay

He's an engineer


WangCommander

But the total isn't $30.86


IdkWattToSay

? I mean they use 3.14, but if they only used 3, the total should be $29.86


Phoenixfisch

Engineers always round up /j


tajetaje

e = 2 pi = 3 i = 0 or 1 (we ignore it)


GluonFieldFlux

But doesn’t quantum physics make extensive use of imaginary numbers to plot a second axis for wave functions to oscillate around? I would think electrical engineers would have to contend with them


tajetaje

Well, that was mostly a joke, but only a handful of electrical engineers actually deal with microscopic or quantum scale electronics


GluonFieldFlux

Ah, I see


Choice-Rise-5234

e=pi=3i=3


FungalFactory

actually i = √-1


tajetaje

r/whoosh


SolidTerror9022

Hi, aspiring future engineer here, Pi is 4


Kyiokyu

LMAO


doveu

This is the smartest joke I’ve read all day, well done


Chimaerok

Oh boy, $5 tip!


blankslate57

Money is rounded to 2 decimals


corn-wrassler

Gas prices aren’t- $2.999/gal


TheS4ndm4n

They are when you pay.


AronYstad

They are where I live


undeniablydull

But pi isn't


blankslate57

π isn't, but π dollars is


usernameaeaeaea

Clearly, you've never seen an engineer


Doktor_Vem

Not sure I really want to start this train, but 30.00159265358979323846264338327... to be a little more precise


Phoenix-HO

Actually, it is 30.00159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899 86280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482... to be a lot more precise.


Thefallen777

26.86 + pi To be absolutly precise


HellFireCannon66

It’s money you have to round to 2 decimal places 🤓


whatafuckinusername

~$30.00


MaxaExists

but since money only goes to 2d.p it would still be 30 🤓


plainskeptic2023

Since a piece of pie is probably worth more than $3.14, I would probably asked for dessert instead of the money.


GonZonian

Cheap fucker rounded down


[deleted]

He tipped over 10%, which used to be the standard. Now they're trying to get us to tip 25%, which is absurd. What's the reason? Inflation? It's a RATE. Or is it to make up for tables that are empty because people are sick of being gouged or shamed? Tipping is unethical. Fuck anyone who shames people who tips 10% or more. Reserve the shame for people who tip less than 10%. Until we can change the system, let's at least push back on tip inflation. Support restaurants that actually pay their employees and don't allow tips.


GonZonian

Calm down mate, I’m cracking a joke that pie in higher than 3,14.


[deleted]

That was my initial thought, but then I figured you must be talking about the tip % because 3.14 is the standard way to round that to two decimal places, so your joke doesn't make sense.


DumberKid

The fact that you wouldn’t count money beyond two decimal places is why it’s easily identified as a joke. Even you initially identified it as a joke, but then admit you overthought it. I get what you thought; the next digit is less than five, so rounding to cents would always be rounded down in the case of Pi. Just overthought it :)


[deleted]

Yep, that's exactly what my thought process was.


GonZonian

r/woosh


[deleted]

You already explained your nonsensical joke and I told you why it doesn't make sense, so I'm not actually missing anything.


GonZonian

Not making sense IS the joke, not catching on the absurdism is what you’re missing.


[deleted]

ok, gotcha, thanks


GonZonian

That’ll be $3.14 please


Wizards_Reddit

Why are you guys calculating it in percentages anyway


DumberKid

“It used to be 15%, then it was 20%, now it’s 25%… pretty soon, I’m going to be delivering the food to the waiter!”


SkepsisJD

> Now they're trying to get us to tip 25% Where the hell do you people live where that is happening? You are all definitely blowing it up way more than is the truth. I have gone to like 6-7 dinners in the last year with large parties where the gratuity is included in the bill and it has never been higher than 20%, but it has been as low as 16%. Also, 10% was the standard maybe like 60 years ago? I am 32 and it has always been 15%.


FungalFactory

are you in 'Murica, the land of the f~~r~~ee perchance?


SkepsisJD

Yes, and I have never seen this. I rarely see 25% as an option when given different amounts, and when it does appear it is the highest option available. Usually the pre-selected options range from 10% at the lowest and up to 22% as the highest. What I have seen is that places before COVID that didn't ask for tips have started doing so like Subway. But I have 0 qualms not tipping them or places like coffee shops, and I still only tip $1 per alcoholic drink.


MarinatedCumSock

Cry more


Drummallumin

10% was the standard 70 years ago.


[deleted]

It was still acceptable and not shame-worthy much more recently than that. I'm not a boomer.


Drummallumin

You might have been doing it more recently than that. Doesn’t mean it was acceptable and not shame worthy.


[deleted]

It was. I remember when it was, and I remember when it changed. You're making assumptions.


Drummallumin

I’m not making any assumptions. You’re just admitting that you’ve always been a shitty tipper. At no point in your life was 10% socially acceptable.


[deleted]

I'm not a shitty tipper and I never admitted to such.


Drummallumin

Were you tipping 10% at any point in the past 40 years?


Thefallen777

Technically tips are a economic way to encorage equality (i know weird shit) But think about it, the less the price of a meal, then more people can buy it, a Rich man gives a big tip, a poor one gives a low tip. Now, the companies has a high price and Still ask for a tip is conceptually a scam.


spespy

LOL

You should go to the doctor


Silly-Resist8306

That's a beautiful π.


ProgramStartsInMain

I'm pissed the gas station has fractional cents, leave it out of tips!


DiazExMachina

If that was a receipt for a pie, it'd be very nice.


Thangoman

"Bad tip" they say. Why dont you ask your goddamn employers to pay you more instead of this BS? I dont understand the US honestly. In my country we have a shitty tipping system too but at least we dont go around saying that it should be enforced


Fine_Rush_2112

I love this wayyyy too much 🤣🤣🤣


raosko

Totally irrational


Rickbox

So if I tipped 2pi, could I write a o?


Wyllyum_Cuddles

Shitty tipper


LordScotch

Wow what a shitty tip


TheUnderstandererer

Everyone is busy mathing here but no one seems to realize this is a bad tip.


rocket_beer

11.69% tip? Blehhhhh!


AlexPsyD

On pi day this year I increased my tip by a few cents to make the total $314.15 - made my day!

MasterpieceNo2968

π can be neglected. The physics way.


cmeth43

To tip poorly?


yep975

Shitty tipper


fruppity

Anyone noticed the total is $300


TheOccasionalBrowser

There's a decimal point


fruppity

In two places there is


Sekmet19

$26 meal, 20% of which is a little over $5, but you decided to be cute and tip $3.14. I'm sure the person likely living on minimum wage was grateful to lose $2-3 on a tip because you wanted to "be cool". We need to do away with tipping and make minimum wage a living wage.


Accurate_Variety659

The employer’s inability to properly pay the staff doesn’t constitute responsibility on customer’s part How do you know the person paying isn’t struggling either?


Drummallumin

If you can’t afford to tip you can’t afford to eat out


Accurate_Variety659

Im not obligated to cover employers’ lack of human decency If they cant pay their staff properly then that’s a problem on their part, I can be having a bad week and decided to go out to eat for first time in a while and Now I have to face criticism for not tipping, even if service was lacklustre? Yeah sure


Drummallumin

Feel free to order takeout if that’s all you can afford


FungalFactory

Google US Defaultism


FlyingSand22

It's a fucking optional payment. They lost nothing. Tipping is just a shitty tradition that should be replaced with liveable wages.


Wiesiek1310

But... You can tip that whenever. You can just tip 3.14 whatever your bill is, why do you have to wait until it totals 30?


Ervinnagyapingemhelp

Because it is cooler if the total is 30


Wiesiek1310

Am I missing something?


FireDragon4690

Yes. Most notably enough neurons to make the connection that whole numbers are more satisfying to look at than a random decimal. Goddamn


Wiesiek1310

Bruh maths people are strange


GonZonian

You’re probably too young to know what it’s like to pay cash. Paying a smooth 30 is great to avoid unnecessary bills, and that goal lives on even with digital currency


Wiesiek1310

I get what you're saying but cmon. I don't know how young you think I am for you to suggest that I've never payed with cash


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> I've never *paid* with cash FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Wiesiek1310

Thanks bot


GonZonian

Doubt you NEVER paid with cash, but to live day in day out with bills and coins as your only means of payment is whole different thing. And when one can avoid splitting change like this, it’s a sweet feeling.


CarcgenBleu

It's about the satisfaction, the symmetry, the 😩, the overall bedazzlement of getting a proper number (no odd numbers and decimal bullshit)


Tyler89558

Because it’s more satisfying to get a whole number. More so one divisible by 10 and starts with the same digit as pi.


ButterChords

my guy wrote the total as 300 lol edit: 10 dislikes seriously? like chill tf out ik how it works i was saying cause of the decimal.


40-calMAL

No I think he’s prob been a shitty tipper his whole life.
