Since Pi is infinite and non-repeating, would that mean any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers should appear somewhere in Pi? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

that number is no longer pi… this is like answering the question "does the number "3548" contain 35?" by answering "no, 6925 doesnthave 35. qed"

It was just an example of an infinite, non-repeating number that still does not contain every other finite number

Another example could be 0.10100100010000100000... with the number of 0's increasing by one every time. It never repeats, but it still doesn't contain every other finite number.

op's question was focued very clearly on pi, but sure.
