  • The workers at my local gas station go outside of the shop to smoke. I once asked them if that wasn’t dangerous and they said they have a ventilation system that pushes the vapors out the other way and that it’s fine to smoke here (it’s still disallowed as per house rules but they don’t really care)

    This is an exaggeration.

    The universe’s radius is around 46.5 billion light years (around 4.4 * 10^26 meters), the error introduced of using 15 decimals of pi is around the order of 10^-16. Thus the error of calculating the circumference would be in the order of

    8.8*10^26 * 10^-16 = 8.8*10^10 meters
