Isn't this also a sexual innuendo? I mean... shock waves producing ejecta? Venus? anyone? 162.158.189.33 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Sure, as always it is only mentioned, whenever there is not a sexual innuendo by scientists, as collisions and planets and diagrams turn them on. Sebastian --172.68.110.65 11:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

That is really funny. But no there is no sexual reference in a collision between planets. What is in the middle is what would happen in the collision zone. Venus is the name of a planet here... --Kynde (talk) 12:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

All a matter of perspective - depends how Earthy your interpretation is.172.71.242.176 14:55, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Rename the "Venus" circle to "Theia" and you get The Giant-impact hypothesis for the creation of the Moon. Meteo (talk) 13:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I didn't get this at first, but I broke down laughing once I did, I can't quite pinpoint why but this is top tier xkcd right here. Terdragontra (talk) 19:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Minor update, just read 285: Wikipedian Protester and that just makes everything even better. OmniDoom (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

The Venn diagram explanation sounds flawed: "As a Venn diagram, it shows that there is a region of one sphere that is still recognizably Earth, a region of the other that is still recognizably Venus, and a region common to both that consists of "shockwaves and production of impact ejecta," and that this area of overlap is now neither Earth nor Venus, but an intermingled combination of the two." - But a Venn diagram is about logical relations, so the shapes and sizes of the areas are irrelevant. To me, that's the whole point of the joke, that it's really hard to see a drawing of round planets when your mind is trained to see a drawing of abstract logical relations under the title "Earth/Venus Venn Diagram". (Like, I stared at the comic blankly for minutes, thinking, why the heck should Earth and Venus only have shock waves and impact ejecta in common...) Transgalactic (talk) 16:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
