it's not treating pi as a variable, though...
here's one that does work:
circumference = 2piradius,
so, pi = 2*radius/circumference... which is true... (pi is the ratio of diameter to circumference)
the meme here is just an equation that's wrong because it's wrong... pi is being treated as if it's some value that it's not in the first equation, and it's still wrong in the second equation...

pi is being treated as if it's some value that it's not in the first 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.
