I'm sorry but this is very clearly the flag of Luxembourg.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Incorrect, the French flag has very dark navy.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

They changed it not that long ago it was lighter before.

Wrong shades of red and maybe blue for France.

I hope there'll never be toothpaste with the German flag's colors

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yellow and black tooth paste do exist, so we have the technology.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 months ago

What you originally posted two comments up, seems to have either a white pixel bleeding into the red, or a couple red pixels straying into the white.

That may just be my bad eyesight though.

Oh dang! I'm subscribed already but wasn't finding it when I searched! Thank you!

edit: just cross-posted to there!

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I'm subscribed as well but the post don't seem to show up in my feed. I'll have to look into that.

[–] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

ah I forgot to click all instead of local when searching communities 😅

looking at this makes me want to mod a game like minecraft or something so the player character is the landmass of the Netherlands and your health bar is the flag

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 4 months ago

Minecraft but you play as the Netherlands

Please make the Feddit one more popular, that would be so funny

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

I see zero subscribers, zero posts. I'm not breaking that streak

[–] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thank you! Just shared over there and edited my title for accuracy

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 4 months ago

The best part of this meme is watching the thumbnail and attachment together. It's like timed perfectly.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

You see them long ones fairly often in the Netherlands, though I suppose it's technically called a streamer or pennant or something.

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

It is not the size of the Dutch flag that matters, it is that you use it.
