it looks like a circle, but that’s technically a venn diagram.

There's a lot of overlap in that venn diagram.

The overlap on this Venn diagram is significant.

That isn't a Venn diagram. It's an Euler diagram

Have no fear, Circles are not mutually exclusive. More like Venn diagrams, really.

Did you mean to write "Venn diagram", or this was the joke?

That's a Venn diagram, not a pie chart.

Warning: specious venn diagram.

hmm.. wonder what the most accurate Venn diagram for this is?

Probably you need a new Venn diagram :-) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OS8lt3zC9HM
