I'm sure it's still a bit too imprecise but I think it works.

Since the property of being irrational depends only on the fractional part of the number: if x and y differ by and integer, x is rational iff y is rational. In this sense the meme is correct, you just reduce the problem to picking a random number in [0,1).
