Think there might be some truth in this matrix...

1. A grid showing how different IT roles (Developers, Designers, Project Managers, QA, and Sysadmins) perceive each other. The matrix format uses humorous images for each intersection - like developers seeing designers as children with crayons, QA seeing everyone as problematic, and sysadmins being viewed as either chaotic or mysterious by others. The images range from professional photos to memes, creating a satirical take on tech workplace stereotypes and interdepartmental relationships

The Greek God Family Tree
by Korwin Briggs
https://veritablehokum.com/
In conversation about 3 months ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. An infographic depicting an intricate family tree of Greek gods and goddesses. The chart includes primordial deities, titans, and Olympians, with lines denoting relationships such as parentage, marriage, and notable births. Key details: At the top, primordial deities Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos (Sky) give rise to the titans and other entities. Titans like Kronos and Rhea lead to the Olympians, including Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Iconic births, such as Athena springing from Zeus's forehead and Aphrodite arising from sea foam, are highlighted. The chart humorously admits that it's "not even close to complete" but provides a visually appealing overview of Greek mythology's complex lineage.

1. A humorous diagram showing arm positions and their meanings in a meme format. A figure's arm positions are shown against a circular scale from bottom to top: 'REST' (arm down, in green), 'PET DOG', 'PET CHILDREN', 'CALL TAXI', and 'CALL WAITER' reaching progressively higher. The top position, similar to raising one's arm at a sharp angle, is labeled 'NAZI' in red, serving as a dark-humored warning about how certain gestures might be misinterpreted. The illustration uses a white silhouette figure against a gradient background.

1. A colorful map of Europe illustrating the phrase equivalents for "It's all Greek to me" in various languages. The map categorizes countries based on their expressions for incomprehensible language, highlighting cultural differences: "Greek": Common in English-speaking and nearby countries like the UK, Ireland, and France. "Chinese": Used in most Central and Eastern European countries like Germany, Poland, and Hungary. "Hebrew": Found in Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Sweden. Unique phrases: Some regions have distinct metaphors, such as: "Volapük" (a constructed language) in the Netherlands. "Arabic" in Italy. "Patagonian" in Bosnia. "Railway station" in Denmark. The map playfully explores linguistic diversity and cultural idioms for describing confusing language.

The side of the Earth we’re not used to seeing

1. Satellite view of Earth showing primarily the Pacific Ocean side, with minimal visible landmasses. The image shows Earth as a blue sphere against the black of space, with a bright rim of atmospheric glow along the edge. This perspective showcases the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which dominates most of the visible hemisphere, with only small portions of land visible near the edges, likely parts of Antarctica and South America. The ocean appears as various shades of deep blue, with some cloud patterns visible across its surface.

Ikigai - that interesting self-development concept & prism from Japan - and it's (more realistic?) opposite (by @adamgrant)
In conversation about 4 months ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. An Ikigai diagram showing overlapping circles in pink, yellow, blue, and purple on a dark background. The circles represent 'what you are good at', 'what earns you money', 'what the world needs', and 'what you love'. Where they intersect are concepts like 'profession', 'mission', 'calling', with 'ikigai' (purpose/dream job) at the center where all circles meet. Created by Information is Beautiful, original diagram by Mark Winn/Dan Buettner.

1. A humorous map of Europe showing potential punny names for different EU countries leaving the union, inspired by 'Brexit'. Examples include 'Swexit' and 'Finish' for Nordic countries, 'Deutschleave' for Germany, 'Quitaly' for Italy, 'Fruckoff' and 'Oui out' for France, and 'Nullgaria' for Bulgaria. The map shows EU member states in yellow with their suggested exit names, while non-EU countries are shown in grey. Created by bezzleford.

1. A diagram comparing gunshot wounds in movies versus real life, showing a human figure split down the middle. The left side (labeled 'In movies:') is marked in red showing supposedly non-fatal wound areas, while the right side (labeled 'In real life:') is completely white, implying that any gunshot wound can have serious consequences. The image critiques the unrealistic portrayal of survivable gunshot wounds in movies.
