People Are Cracking Up At These 31 Venn Diagrams That Are More Funny Than Useful
The most satisfying part of any presentation is the diagrams. Since humans like to learn words through visuals, diagrams are the perfect tool to summarize someone’s findings in a simple, but dense and effective way.
Making diagrams is so fun that Venn diagrams have actually become a fun template for memes. People creating memes use Venn diagrams to show unexpected relations between people and things, pointing out how stupid some individuals can be or how unfair life can get. Imgur user ParallelParkingInABurka has been collecting these memes for a while now and shared their collection for everyone to appreciate this format, and we added even more of the best ones the internet could offer.

You might not have heard of the term Venn diagram, but you certainly have seen it. As Investopedia explains, "A Venn diagram is an illustration that uses circles to show the relationships among things or finite groups of things. Circles that overlap have a commonality while circles that do not overlap do not share those traits."
These kinds of diagrams "help to visually represent the similarities and differences between two concepts” and they have been used since the mid-20th century. Even though they became more widely spread during this period, they existed quite some time before that.
First of all the diagram became more known in the 1880s when English mathematician, logician and philosopher John Venn’s popularized it. That's actually where the name as we now know it comes from.
Even though the diagram was named after the person who popularized them, similar ones were created in the 1700s and they were known as Eulerian circles because it was the Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler who created them. And the confusion doesn’t stop there, because the name was changed by Clarence Lewis in 1918, in his book A Survey of Symbolic Logic.
Venn diagrams are usually used in logic theory, but they've found their way into other fields such as statistics, linguistics, education, and computer sciences. They are also used in business and are a useful tool in comparisons.
And as is evident, they also caught the eye of meme creators as they've become a template to reflect on society or to compare incomparable concepts. They are some of the simplest diagrams and are self-explanatory, so that could have contributed to their popularity on the internet.
According to Know Your Meme, one of the first times the Venn diagram was used as a meme format was probably on the website Indexed on August 9th, 2006. It shows a three-way Venn diagram with overlapping circles. The circles are named Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Tooth Fairy. The thing they have in common, according to the creator of the meme, is religious doubt.
Lucidchart also mentions one of the earliest examples of Venn diagram memes. They share one from a 2008 post on the blog I’d Rather Be Writing. It showed one circle which was called ‘what you’d write to only yourself’ and the other one called ‘what you’d write to the entire world.’ The two circles overlapped and what both of the things had in common was that they both belonged on a blog.
Since then, the Venn diagram has been a recognizable format and has been used so often that some don't find it funny anymore and have mocked it, but it seems that it hasn't disappeared completely as there are still people like ParallelParkingInABurka enjoying it.
We would like to know if you are one of those people who enjoys a Venn diagram meme, or do you find that it should remain in the mathematics world instead of trying to be relatable on the internet? Let us know your thoughts and don’t forget to upvote the memes that made you laugh the most!
If he says he won in 2020 that's his second term. Not our fault if he wasted it being an even bigger criminal a**hole.

Seriously if the department of Justice does nothing after these January 6th hearings then I am not going to believe in the judicial system anymore. Well as much as I believed in it before.

Load More Replies...As a non-American, I had to look up the one-term impeached guy. You hear a lot about Richard Nixon and Watergate, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. But Andrew Johnson. I can't even make sense of his very long Wikipedia page - it sounds like maybe the only thing he did wrong was disagree with some key people? Feel free to help me out, anybody who knows this stuff.
1860ish, we had the civil war. South states wanted to secede from the Us and be its own country. A lot of this was so that rich southern land owners could own slaves. North didn't want that, so the states fought, and the north won. Lincoln, everybody's favorite president was unalived, and Johnson took over. Different party, different ideas. After the war, Congress wanted to help rebuild the south, which had largely gotten destroyed. They also wanted to create laws to help protect the former-slaves-now-citizens, who were getting shat on. Johnson kept vetoing all this, and eventually he was impeached for 'criminality'. Lincoln was also probably a pretty hard act to follow. That's my take on it, anyway. I'm a history nerd, not an expert. Maybe someone else knows more about it than I do

Half the conservative party is now part of the Agolf Twittler Kult, our health care system is actually falling apart, most Canadians in Ontario (most populated provice) don't have doctors or access to them without insane long waits at best. Tim Hortons is no longer Canadian but Brazilian/American owned and the coffee got changed. The USA flat out needs to unplug from all media and focus on themselves. Like holy fück...
Load More Replies...Apparently, if you have ties to Bill Clinton, you'll win the popular vote but lost the election. Only one way to test if it's true: Chelsea for president, 2024!
In a representative democracy popular vote is not worth jack, so i honestly do not know why people even mention it, and Trump will probably win again if he is running against Joe Biden whether or not we like it.
And the only Naval Academy graduate in this group is also the only Nobel Peace Prize winner in the group. And shouldn't Grover Cleveland be in the One Term group twice?
Except those things are happening all over the world so can't be biden's fault...you do know there's a world outside of America, don't you?

I brought a suit with me in case I got invited to a fancy party. I did not in fact get invited to any fancy parties.
I'd like to see this one: 1) owns AK-15s. 2) owns big pickup truck with oversize tires 3) owns "balls" (fake testes) hanging from the differential or trailer hitch.
