I hardly think all those people suffering under the evil Danish crusaders appreciated anything about that harsh flag design. They certainly didn't after we liberated them if they had any sense

did somebody say baltic cross?? BonHair posted:Introducing my Icelandic neighbours to rødgrød med fløde with the cream cross blew their mind. I don't know if Swedes do blæbårsuppe with præstost, but that sounds gross the fun thing about danish is I don't know if these are real foods or just a bit cramming all the letters in there Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Dec 4, 2023 |

The Swedes are having a slapfight and it's almost as funny as the English having a slapfight.

The Swedish dish is made up though, but just as the most sensible Swedish version of the above. I suppose it could be blårbærgrød med smør?

the government of kyrgyzstan is trying to change the flag because the current one is "too sunflower-y". or because it's a bunch of right-wing popularists prone to stupid gestures that look important (current one on the left) the public is generally displeased https://twitter.com/_24_kg/status/1731907030854549601 https://twitter.com/Blue_Domes/status/1731701701684437392

It reminds me of the Xbox cheevo symbol, but it's a cool flag regardless. I don't see why you would want to change it.

ChubbyChecker posted:the colors are good as is, but the symbol isn't simple enough the symbol is great, it's looking through a yurt roof at the sun, whose rays correspond to the number of tribes united by Manas to form the Kyrgyz nation in their eponymous national epic  sure, not as simple as a basic-rear end cross, but it wraps up a lot of meaning in a very small number of components

"symbol needs to be simple" means that like, when a kid draws it you need to be able to tell they what they were trying to draw, not that they need to be able to draw it 100% accurately. kyrgyzstan symbol is fine

Unfortunately, most people outside of Central Asia are more familiar with Xbox than they are with Kyrgyzstan. Not me though, I'm a goontellectual and I don't even own a console
