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.

The minor sector formed when the two hands of a circular clock at 3:14 are imaginarily extended to its edge or circumference.
What fraction of a clock is the pi sector? 13/360
When the frequency of the number π gracing the pages of reputable math journals took a dive during the pandemic, when both male and female mathematicians and math educators worldwide, working from home, felt half-productive or fell sick from Covid-19.
Guesstimate how many pure mathematicians globally had some mental health issues during the pi lockdown in 2020–2021.

pi = approximately 3.14
therefore, when the clock shows 3:14, it is Pi Time!
An excellent time to eat pie.

When the public announcement of the proof of a famous unsolved problem on π turned out to be short-lived, because the result was later found to contain grave errors.
Mathematicians worldwide were excited to hear that the number (π + e) has been proved to be transcendental (i.e., its value can’t be the root of an algebraic equation with rational coefficients), but the news was nothing but a pi moment.
