Poor neglected irrational numbers! While π hogs all the mathematical spotlight with its never-ending digits, there are actually 2ℵ₀ (that's an uncountable infinity!) of other irrational numbers with the exact same non-repeating property. It's like getting excited about meeting someone with two eyes when ALMOST EVERYONE HAS TWO EYES! Mathematical hipsters know the truly cool numbers are hanging in the shadows—like e, φ, or the Conway constant. Next time someone gushes about π, just whisper "transcendental set theory" and walk away dramatically.
