Why is Pi infinite?

I feel the need to understand why something is the way that it is. Maybe this is because I'm a fucking sperg but who knows

Pi is between 3 and 4, how can it be infinite?

Because it's irrational, it cannot be written as a fraction using two integers. The proof(s) are kind of gnarly though.

Pi, along with any irrational number, is infinite in complexity because were they not, it would mean the universe has fundamental limits and therefore operates like a "rendering" engine. Pi isn't infinity, it's irrational decimals reach infinite complexity, for the same reason that the sky is blue and a circle is round.

Almost every number is irrational. Rationals are the rare exceptions. Expecting any number to be rational would be unusual.

Yes. And that's unusual.

No number you have ever seen is irrational.

Because it consists of infinitely many digits, as an extensional sequence, and this infinite aspect is required to properly define pi inside a number system.
>>14288816
Pi is not infinite in complexity. There are very finite algorithms that generate the digits of pi.

I would the mean, median, and mode number of carrots people have is not 5, yes.
>Am I supposed to have 4.699278... carrots?
I'm not sure there is an intended number of carrots for people to possess.

pi is 333/106 precisely
decimals are fake, they don't directly represent the true relationship been quantities the way that fractions do
