The aha! feeling math geeks experience at the sight or sound of a little juicy or sexy theorem, or math factoid, on the number π—a minor form of mathematical bliss that could last for days in some instances.
Just as Roland Barthes, French writer and critic, associates a good or pleasurable read with a dizzying orgasm, pure mathematicians or number theorists secretly dream or long for an orgasmic pi chance encounter, especially when they’re at their most vulnerable state of mind.

The minor sector formed when the two hands of a circular clock at 3:14 are imaginarily extended to its edge or circumference.

Also known as “Post Truth Pi” or “Fake Pi.” Alternative facts on the number π that are popular in some political or conspiratorial circles, which oft-half-innumerate politicians like to share with their voters to sound mathematically civilized.
From the Encyclopedia of “Alternative Facts,” here are some post pi entries:
The value of π is different on different planets and galaxies.
The number π is contained within π.
The googolth digit of π is 3.
ET sent a pi message to earthlings on Independence Day.
The number π and the Bible are intimately related.

When the ghost or spirit of the number π would appear to some lucky mathematicians or math educators to reveal to them some of her sexy numerical, geometric, or trigonometric properties—when they least expect her to visiting them, while experiencing an aha!
Unlike demonic apparitions that petrify even diehard Proud Boys “patriots,” pi apparitions are welcomed by both the mathematical brethren and the numerological fraternity.

Playing patty cake with a panda....with no pants
I like to play patty cake with no pants with a panda or in other words , "panda pies".
A semiconscious state when you allow your creative mind to define a new (or redefine an existing) word or phrase related to the number π—for example, “pi in the sky” carries different meanings depending on the context.
By drifting into a pi reverie, be it by seeing what’s outside the window while pretending to listen to a sermon, or by staring into space or at the cloud in a posture of prayer, Ian has been blessed with a hundred-odd pi definitions on Urban Dictionary.

All the falsehoods, white lies, or fake news about the number π that conspiracy-minded Trumpublicans and QAnonists share on social media to their tribes, most of whom are ladle-fed with daily Fox News misinformation—for example, the googolth digit of π is the biblical value of 3; ET sent an apocalyptic message to earthlings on Pi Day via a Mar-a-Lago resort’s terminal.
Is pi dung a subset of woke math or a root of white supremacy math?
