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

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 hours ago

Incorrect, the French flag has very dark navy.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 hours 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 11 hours ago

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

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 1 day ago

Minecraft but you play as the Netherlands

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

Missed the opportunity to make it 1 pixel wide.

There is more red than blue.

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.

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

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

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