I feel like this is not so much a meme as just a thing that is wrong.

Sadly, this is so far over my head that I have to accept it as truth, spread the word with authority, and found a religion based on it

This "proof" is based on a bug in Casio calculators (tested it on the fx-991EX classwitz, got it there too)
A try to explain it is in this video by Matt Parker. Are exactly the same numbers

It's not a bug, it's a feature

It's just an equation that gives you the first few digits of pi if you treat pi as a variable.
But, pi isn't a variable, so it's not a real equation.

That's a variable. The value of 'pi' is dependent on the rest of the equation.
If you treat it as a variable, the math gives you 3.1415926536.

Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks for the info :)

As a programmer, I know what a variable is. Therefore, now this all makes sense to me.

Maybe I am also too dumb, but isn't the issue that the first equation is just wrong? It assumes that pi only equals 3.141592654

Pi = pi/1
