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

Incorrect, the French flag has very dark navy.

Wrong shades of red and maybe blue for France.

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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago

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

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

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

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

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

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago

I remember subscribing to !vexillologyjerk@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz but got dead :<

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

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

is this a meme? is this science?
