You can put the Polish flag on the right tho.

This is neat.

Does CR have rules about flag desecration? If so, if you cut a perimeter and just make it a smaller flag is this exempt?

Seems you can get fined for blatantly decreasing it. But I don't think that resizing it per se would fall under that

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait. Did you really mean "decreasing" rather than "desecrating"? Because that's hilarious.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Haha whoops! Imagine if lowering a flag was illegal and you could only make it go even higher

The erotical love of the local flag is a US only thing, noone cares about that anywhere elso on the planet. Do whatever you want with that cloth.

"Desecrecation" what a word.

I just googled and couldn't find a single instance of that law being used in practice when it comes to flags. Nobody cares.

"Actually" Czech flag should be destroyed if it touches the ground. Also while in CZ there are rules on what should be the order of flags, if it is flying with other flags.

There are more rules, but the main point is ... Noone really cares.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There are rules of course, but unlike the US nobody here gives a crap about them.

wait, is the Czech flag technically a simple fractal?

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no bc you have to zoom in on exactly the center

anywhere else and it's either all blue, all red, the flag of poland, or the flag of france

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

you could say the same for the mandelbrot, if you zoom in to most of it you get all black

Czech Republic A4, Czech Republic A5, Czech Republic A6...

Norway fosters most of Europe?

Yep. Czechs out √

I'm sure Norway can do better and find a way to fit Costa Rica in.
