I keep seeing this posted everywhere. The author has no idea how Venn Diagrams work.

[–] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Author doesn't claim it's Venn Diagram, and I think, for a meme, it's a smart way of presenting information.

You don't seem to understand them either. Let me guess, since this seems to be your criteria: you believe declaring "BANKRUPTCY!" in a loud voice is enough?

If you read my comment again, you'll notice (hopefully) that I didn't write that it's a Venn diagram. In fact, I don't think it's a Venn diagram. What I think you don't understand is that several overlaping circles don't make it one, so they don't have to adhere to its rules. OP took "YO HO HO HO" and used circles to divide it into something a pirate, rapper, or santa would say. It conveys this information clearly, and so I think it's a very good diargam (and before you accuse me again, not a Venn Diagram). There was not a single mention of it being a Venn Diagram. But unfortunately, based on this and your previous comment, you just like to put words in other people's mouths and get angry at them. Also, your comment about bankruptcy is ironic since it's you who keeps shouting "It's not how you make Venn Diargam!" even though it's not trying to be one.

"It's not me and OP who're unfamiliar with this 150 year old concept for overlapping commonalities... The rest of the world is out of touch."

[–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

what i meant is that the guy who made it mightve thought doing it wrong would be funny

Gangster rappers are a subset of pirates?

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, they share part of a phrase with pirates. If they were a subset, their circle would be entirely within the pirate circle

[–] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

But other than the label, there are no other items in the gangster rappers set

According to this diagram, what I said is mathematically true. The diagram doesn't need to fit entirely within the other, it doesn't contain secret hidden elements.

Ignoring of course, that a set can't contain duplicates. If we throw out the duplicates, then Santa and Gangster Rappers are just a type of pirate, at least in terms of their vocabulary.

Or you know, just don't take it so seriously because it's a meme and I made a joke...

it doesn't contain secret hidden elements

You haven’t met many pirates, have you?

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I feel like that last Ho for Santa should be in the empty overlap...

[–] Knasen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So essentially, all of them are a ho? Sorry couldn't help myself
