Very well done!
bravo!
more concise than any this year
The same can be said about all dogs. I know my sister’s puppy loves a little poo after breakfast…>_>
Today’s science fact: dogs are one of the few animals that can digest nutrients otherwise passed from other creatures. This condition is known as ‘coprophagia’ and likely developed when canines self-domesticated over a relatively short period of time as scavengers of early man’s waste piles.
I actually enjoyed looking at this diagram. Wow. Cute.
Very nicely done. It’s about freakin time someone made graph that didn’t suck.
OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making a graph that didn’t suck!
Very creative, well done!
Your bulldog eats “the way his breath smells”? That’s one talented dog. Most K9’s can only eat tangible objects.
It means he will eat both poo and garbage, making his breath smell like poo and garbage. It does not mean the dog will eat his breath’s smell. It’s a subgroup.
Hmm, sounds like you don’t know how Venn Diagrams work either. Stephen has it right.
It could have been labeled, “things like which his breath smells,” but that probably would have taken up too much space.
I was wondering how squirrels and his missing tail fit in the same category, personally. Glad I wasn’t misunderstanding it.
and additionally, his missing tail is on the list of things he’ll eat… how do you figure?
He ate it.
My brother’s dog used to eat his tail. They had to use a bad tasting dip on it, much like that used to teach kids not to suck their thumbds.
What would a dog consider to be badly tasting, when it already eats poo?
Thanks Stephen, I’m glad that someone understands Venn Diagrams…
it doesn’t say he’ll eat “the way his breath smells.” It says he’ll eat “what his breath smells like.” Since his breath smells like poo and garbage, it stands to follow that he will eat poo and garbage…which is the point…which means, comment fail.
that’s not how Venn diagrams work.
“what his breath smells like” is in the category of “things he’ll eat”, which unfortunately doesn’t work as part of the graph, considering the intangibility, and therefor un-eat-ability of “what his breath smells like”
If “what his breath smelled like resided SOLELY in the categories of “Poo” and “Garbage”, and PART of “Poo” and part of “garbage” crossed into the circle of “things he’ll eat” while part of the cross section of “poo” and “garbage” remained outside the circle of “things he’ll eat”…. AND, that particular outside cross section of “poo” and “garbage” was labeled “what his breath smells like”… the graph would work fine. (Except for that tail thing that was mentioned, though i suppose he could eat his tail.)
But then again that was confusing to type, let alone draw out with circles.
In the meantime, this graph is –ALMOST– a win, I guess. :-\
Actually, the graph says “What his breath smells like” and the 2 categories that go with that are “poo” and “garbage”. He can roll in what his breath smells like, be it poo, garbage, or any other rancid smelling object. Not trying to start a pointless argument, since I won’t reply to replies to my reply. I just wanted to point this out, if not only to contribute an opinion to a very well done graph.
wow
So wha’t with the small opening at the bottom of the graph? Is the door open for little Fido to be eating a boatload of other disgusting objects?
He will eat his own missing tail?
My cousin’s dog broke into the dumpster behind the vet’s office… they found him chewing on an amputated dog leg. So, yah, I’d be willing to bet most boxers would gnaw on their own missing tail if they ever came across it.
You totally did this backwards.
He’ll only chase things that are simultaneously a squirrel and his missing tail (which he eats?)
He’ll only drool over things that are both your food and his food (what do you eat?)
Seriously, learn how to make Venn Diagrams people.
Pedantic=Buzzkill
Pedantic=100% Correct.
Pedantic!! Come on now! We have sat through weeks of the lamest damn graphs I have ever seen! Finally, someone puts real effort into a great diagram and sure they got caught up in the moment and made some simple mistakes. The graph Gods enjoy the effort (they told me so). I would much rather see a “comical” graph then see another run of the mill 2 slice pie graph. Kudos to the graph maker!
I’ll grant you that more effort seems to have been put into this graph than most, but it would be nice if the user had a vague understanding of Venn diagrams.
They’re not simple mistakes, the creator of this graph has totally misunderstood how to use Venn Diagrams, he’s got it completely 100% backwards.
Your explanation of what the graph actually means makes it MUCH funnier. The creator’s intention was cute. But the dog’s missing tail being a squirrel (which he eats!) made me laugh. A lot.
I wonder where lipstick would fall under this chart
Clearly, right on top of the word ‘bulldog.’ And only if you crossed it out and wrote between ‘bulldog’ and ‘lipstick’ – pitbull.
within ‘thing he will eat’ but not within anything else.
I do not think this means what you think it means. For example:
He will only chase things that are both ‘his missing ball’ and ’squirrels’ – and some of his missing ball is a squirrel? A squirball, perhaps?
He only rolls in things that are dirt, poo, AND garbage.
I appreciate the thought, but the creator has no idea how Venn diagrams work.
It does not matter what one THINKS it means, Venn diagrams are specific, and while this is funny, it is a very poor venn diagram.
inconceivable!
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it does.
Inigo FTW!!! Thanks for making me giggle this morning!
tail…
This Venn diagram makes set theorists cry.
I’m not a set theorist, but I’m crying.
Set terrorists make set theorists cry.
Here. I’m getting drunk soon, so I’ll fix it for you before I get started.
Draw a big circle labeled “Things he’ll eat”. This will contain all other sets listed below. (So far no problems).
Contained in that, draw 3 medium sized circles. These probably shouldn’t intersect. Label them as follows.
A. “Things that make him drool”
B. “Things he’ll chase”
C. “Things he’ll roll in”
A: Inside “Things that make him drool”, draw 2 small circles. Label one of them “His food” and the other “My food.” These should intersect if your diets do.
B: Inside “Things he’ll chase”, draw 2 small circles (technically, circle and a point might be even better here but …). Label one of them “Squirrels” and the other “His missing tail.” These should not overlap since his tail is not a squirrel.
C: Inside “Things he’ll roll in”, draw 3 mutually intersecting circles. Label them as below.
C1: “Things he’ll track through the house”
C2: “Things his breath smells like”
C3: “Things he likes to dig through”
Where C1 intersects C2, list “garbage”.
Where C1 intersects C3, list “dirt”
Where C2 intersects C3, list “poo”
I hope we all learned something from this and that in the future we will be precise and write what we mean when using the language of mathematics. Now if you’ll excuse me, my beer’s getting warm.
thank you, good sir set theorist!
cheers!
thanks for saving me the time fjw. Also: well done! FTW on you
You’re my new hero.
Kudos to the original submitter picklepickle for both humor and effort (however poorly executed)…and kudos to fjw for effort and proper execution.
I do have a mathematical question for fjw to answer once he’s sober again:
Where both C1, C2, and C3 all intersect in the very middle, is it proper to leave that space blank or must all fields in a ven diagram have labels/values?
And assuming that space must have a value, would that space be
a) things that are simultaneously garbage, dirt, and poo?
b) things that are simultaneously “Things he’ll track through the house”, “Things his breath smells like”, and “Things he likes to dig through”
or
c) all of the above (things that are simultaneously garbage, dirt, poo, “Things he’ll track through the house”, “Things his breath smells like”, and “Things he likes to dig through”)
I suppose one circumstance that would satisfy any of those options would be if someone threw potting soil in the garbage and it was subsequently consumed and excreted by an animal.
I would also say that to be consistent with the intended conditions of picklepickle’s original ven diagram, poo and garbage should be switched on fjw’s version so that poo is at the intersection of C1 and C2 and garbage is at the intersection of C2 and C3. Of course fjw’s dog may be more likely to dig through poo than picklepickle’s dog.
I just realized that I keep writing “ven”instead of “venn”. My bad. Please ignore my stupidity. Given that it’s after 3am I probably made various other errors that you are free to call me out on.
Thanks everybody!
I think it’s perfectly OK to make a space for the intersection of C1, C2, and C3 even if that intersection is empty. It’s also acceptable to make non-empty intersections that aren’t labeled with specific examples. For intersections which are *obviously* empty, it might be poor style to make spaces for them when such confusion can be avoided. (It is possible to make three circles such that any two of them overlap, but where the 3-way intersection doesn’t exist. It’s even easier if you don’t use circles. Just draw an ellipse around each side of a triangle.)
I was trying not to add or subtract anything from the original submission. Since it was silent on whether or not there was anything that his dog would track through house, roll in, and that his breath smelled like, I was also silent on that.
This one.
b) things that are simultaneously “Things he’ll track through the house”, “Things his breath smells like”, and “Things he likes to dig through”
The above are sets. Poo, dirt, squirrels, bacon, etc. are points that might belong in some, none, or all of those sets. It is not meaningful for points to overlap, or to be contained in other points. (And to continue with the first question, the fact that you can even conceive of something in all three sets, means that they should all overlap, even if nothing inside is explicitly specified.
Good catch! That is what I intended to do. In that portion of the Venn Diagram, I wanted to take the keep the intent of the original but invert all the containment relations. That is, whenever he had a set contained in the intersection of two points, I made both points contained in that set. I must have gotten my indicies crossed at some point in the process.
Wow thanks for taking the time to educate all of us. I really appreciate it!
*claps*
I think this is creative and funny. I love it!
Very well done. But if it was my puppy you’d have to add poo to things he eats. This is a nasty habit he has.
Poo is already included in things he eats.
Try putting a little hot sauce on the poo.
Very, very good. You sir have just made me laugh, not an easy thing to do >.>
While I thought this one was really good, all we’d have to do is get rid of the “things he’ll eat,” even though most of it is true anyway, and it’s a total WIN. “Things that interest my bulldog” is more appropriate anyway.
GraphJam WIN!
graph: cluttered, wrong, and not funny
comments: worth the stupid graph
someBrad:loser, wrong, and not funny
comment: worth my stupid retort
some of you have to stop being so picky, so what if the graph didn’t make sense in a mathematical way you at least got the gist of it thats the main point, its like that god dam palin/dinosaurs venn diagram. just get the joke and move on
That’s the American spirit! Settle for mediocrity. It’s one of the more amusing graphs that’s made the front page lately, but it still has some flaws. Just acknowledge that and move on.
This was not only amusing, but very well thought-out! *golf clappity-clap*
Bravo, I say, Bravo! BTW, do you have any Grey Poupon?
congrats. That was so much better than some stuff that gets featured
VERY WELL DONE! and good effort!
Wow–this graph maker doesn’t seem to understand how Venn diagrams work. Terrible. By this graph, he will only chase squirrels that are also his lost ball. That makes no sense.
tail.
The maker of this graph doesn’t even begin to understand how Venn diagrams work. Is this really considered a good enough submission to appear on the page? Couldn’t a graph made by someone who understands their graphs have appeared instead?
Eugh, in what state is it legal to throw biohazardous waste such as amputated limbs into a dumpster?
Well, that comment didn’t go where it was supposed to -_-
Huh? Are you referring to a dumpster as “garbage”? Because garbage is completely separate from “missing tail” on this Venn diagram.
are there some squirrels he won’t chase? otherwise, you have venn-fail syndrome.
Part of his missing tail is a squirrel?
Too busy, bad graph, not even that funny.
Man! Look: Venn Diagrams are only witty and humorous when they actually function as a Venn Diagram…If you’re just going to put random stuff under a label then don’t use a Venn Diagram to describe it. I get the jokes and whatnot, but this doesn’t function as a true Venn Diagram.
Disappointed.
not funny.
“Things he’ll eat = his missing tail” is the best!
Wow, this is terrible.
You eat some of your dog’s food?
I laughed my ass off at the what his breath smells like!
Nice!!!
