Gregory's ServerHey friends, it’s #NoVENNber! Let’s see those amazing Venn diagrams! Here’s one I found - unfortunately, I don’t know the source.
Edit: a couple friends did the legwork and let me know it’s an XKCD comic. Thanks, y’all!

 @adhdeanasl @belore It's from xkcd:
https://xkcd.com/2090/ And it's technically not a Venn diagram: https://xkcd.com/2721/  @adhdeanasl Yeah, you know about that time the Australian Army took on their close cousins, emus, and lost? And they'd brought machine guns to the fight! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War  @cstross @adhdeanasl I will have you know we won the second emu war!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_Field,_South_Australia @cstross @adhdeanasl Thanks for the link, very interesting account. I look forward to the promised film with John Cleese. It has the potential for good comedy and suspense. @Cotopaxi @adhdeanasl John Cleese is 84, alas. (Maybe find a CGI studio and license his likeness, and pay him as a script consultant to help get it right? But it really wants a no-more-than-50-year-old Cleese to star as the army CO in the Emu wars.) @cstross @adhdeanasl  @adhdeanasl the prospect of fighting an aggressive rooster is bad enough. Now make it the size of a man @adhdeanasl   @adhdeanasl When I was a teenager in Florida, I encountered a large group of Sandhill cranes in a graveyard at night. Oddly terrifying.  @adhdeanasl Or a goose, or a pigeon, or a magpie, or ... @adhdeanasl I think this is probably the best Venn diagram ever (sorry, also don't know the source) Edit: turns out the source is Stephen Wildish. Thank @eclectech for the link! @statsguy @adhdeanasl oh I know who made that (it is excellent) - Stephen Wildish. More funny stuff here  [I'm just quietly celebrating that XKCD's author uses "people who" and not "people that"]  (Two circles entirely overlapping, with a third circle barely sticking out over the edge of the other two, and a “t” in the gap that makes) Friend Caption: Things that are called Venn @adhdeanasl @LibertyForward1 Or even just a mean rooster. We had one a bit like this, huge, that came up to my dad’s knees, with spurs about the length of your finger, that would aggro you wherever you entered the pen. You didn’t go in there without a stick and a big attitude.   @corbden @adhdeanasl @LibertyForward1 "I might become a McNugget... But you're gonna bleed trying"  @adhdeanasl well, thats one of my favourites, it has stayed with me since the early days of the pandemic. It's been titled "somehow we ended up here." #NoVENNber @adhdeanasl My grandmother caught an ostrich and trapped it in our chicken coupe. lol Well, technically an Emu.  @Plumbert @adhdeanasl Nerds are a brand of flavored sugar candy.  @adhdeanasl Didn't emus nearly destroy Australia a few times? #dangerChimkin #dangerChicken #emu #dinosaurs   @adhdeanasl *also applies to geese and cassowaries* (not personal experience, luckily) @aadschippers @adhdeanasl It's like the "What's the difference between an anti-vaxxer and a crocodile?" gag.   |
@adhdeanasl Looks like an XKCD, could be an XKCD, probably isn't though
