I love that it is totally geometrically described in their constitution.

Oh my god, that's amazing. Easily the best part of any constitution ever.

Why the fuck did I watch that whole video

Because James Grimes' accent is weirdly calming

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

He really was. I like that he was so excited about this. I didn't like that I still don't know why the flag is the way it is or what it means, although I've got a decent idea what it might mean.

I love numberphile but especially love when James gets excited about something (which to be fair is most math)

[–] intelisense@lemm.ee 22 points 8 months ago

I love the fact that Nepal's flag is so unique. 10/10 from me.

I love the fact that there is an entire OEIS entry for it's aspect ratio

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

It's much more simply a 4:3 (the red part) but the blue border messes it up enough to make it interesting ;)

Big fan of triangles

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

There's no current sovereign state that has a flag quite like it. It's very unique.

And no, Ohio doesn't count.

Someone should stop them

[–] athos77@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

I'm highly in favor of it!
