If you ever find yourself thinking “would this graph be better in 3D” the answer is always no⁠ ⁠ #Venn #Graph #VennDiagram #Data#cartoon #cartoons #comic #comics #instacomic #instacartoon#academia #science #research#errantscience

3D Venn diagram with squat cylinders for circles. They’re labeled “Badly made Venn diagrams” & “Badly made 3D graphs,” with their intersection labeled “This horrific abomination.”

@gorfram @colm_ryan thanks! we added this for this cartoons, we are trying to do it for all our cartoons and appreciate the help :)
@errantscience @colm_ryan TBF, this was a hard one to write; & I had to break my rule of getting all the most important stuff in the 1st 125 characters (apparently some text readers have auto-cutoffs there). It’s easy to describe things people have seen before (“Bird perched on the back of a sheep out in a sunny pasture. Bird is black, sheep is white, grass is green, sky is blue”). But no one’s seen a 3D Venn diagram before, so they don’t know how to expect one to look.
