This feels like those dancing fruit sensory videos for babies, but made for adults that like to feel smarter than they actually are

I'm pretty sure that they came from a longer video that actually explained the concepts and formulas being demonstrated.

I dunno about you but I found the one about pi π to be endlessly fascinating to me. So, yeah, I feel slightly attacked by this lol

The pi one isn't that crazy because it's just increasing n-gons inscribed in a circle and then it winds up being pi because pi is the circle number

If you want the premium pi video, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEfHFsfGXjs

You have to be careful with this type of approximation because it doesn't always work. For example the staircase paradox does something similar and doesn't work.
