    Well now I need a tool that makes graphs like this. I think I smell a winter break project coming up

      Please do. I really like this chart and expect a lot more coming soon.

      And no, I don’t expect to get any actual data from the chart at all.

      I think for maximum uselessness, they should not be overlapping spheres, but deform at the interface, like soap bubbles or rubber balls. As long as the spheres are the same size and modelled with the same “surface tension” or “elasticity”, the “intersection” of two sets would then be a circular interface with an area proportional to what would otherwise be an overlap (I think). If the spheres have different sizes or are modelled with different surface tension or elasticity, one would “intrude” into the other.

      Multiple sets would have increasingly complex shapes that may or not also create volumes external to the deformed spheres but still surrounded by the various interfaces.

      Time to break out the mathematics of bubbles and foam. This data ain’t gonna obscure itself!

      Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly. I suppose the same could be said of the shape described by overlapping. (Jesus, you’d think I was high or something. Just riffing.)

    What’s the problem? What I’m seeing, these are absolutely valid SQL joins 🤔

    😂

    We need different heights for each colour. Then the middle colour can be an average.

    I never really understood these graphs, even with the best of my ability. I just think it’s an excuse for people to make vaginal references.

    i like big graphs and i can not lie

    all about that x and y

    though when the venn diagram seems to deny

    an z axis I sigh
