This is not how venn diagrams work

[–] candybrie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

How so? One circle is things you do on a normal day. The other circle is things you do when the world is ending. And their overlap includes going to work. So you go to work on a normal day and on days the world is ending. And for some freaking reason that's true; even if the world is ending, you go to work

This diagram implies that going to work is not something you do on your normal, non-world-ending day.

It also implies that your day can be normal AND world ending, which contradicts itself.

EDIT: I'm wrong about the first one but I don't want to remove the comment or the paragraph

You're wrong about both paragraphs. It's not the days that fall into the circles. It's the activities you do on those days. So it's not a normal day that's world ending. It's things you do on both kinds of days.

Well, the venn diagram lady lost the election so we had to cede the territory to the opposition.
