  The flag of Ogden, Utah, or rather former flag because they decided to swap it out for a flag that echoes the new Utah flag more and get rid of the Golden Spike.  kiminewt posted:Oh crap.

This, however, is a terrible idea. Excel does this where every command is translated into Danish, making 100% of tutorials online useless because I need to know that Vlookup is actually called Lopslag in Danish for idiotic reasons. From what I gather, programming is 90% googling how to do stuff, so breaking that would be bad.

So yeah, it'd be a disaster, perhaps even more so because the people least likely to have experienced these kinds of language issues would be the ones making this.

Licorice flavor is probably the grey layer, black is either squid ink or activated charcoal

I can totes see that but chocolate crumble would go very weird with a bunch of these fruit flavors (no pun intended). I think I'd go with bi. The international bear brotherhood flag would be more to my taste, though- I'm boring that way.

Oxyclean posted:I thought most colour blindness was not like, can't see colour, but has a harder time distinguishing between certain colours or shades, so I'd presume that order of colour should still somewhat help. At least a fair few have different number of stripes, and the bi flag is set apart from pan by having the middle stripe smaller. I don't have anything to add to this post, but I'd love for anyone with any sort of colour-blindness to add their two cents (or however-much you can afford).

I can’t speak for all kinds of colorblindness and mine is more extreme than most, but sure. If you’re reading this you’re a big ol’ nerd so I assume you’re vaguely familiar with the whole primary colors of light thing. Your eyes have rods in them for picking up movement and outlines and poo poo, and you have various kinds of cones corresponding to the colors of light for seeing those. Colorblindness varies both in which kinds of cones/colors are affected and whether the eye makes low-power lovely cones or straight up no relevant cones at all. The most common kind of colorblindness is lovely-but-extant red cones while no cones of any kind is quite rare. As a total percentage of the population, however, colorblindness about 4-5% : certainly a minority but a pretty common one ; there was probably a colorblind student or two in every class you had, even if you didn’t know. It’s sex-linked recessive on the X chromosome so most colorblind people have XY chromosomes. I have the kind where I don’t make cones for red, so I can see blue but it’s the same as purple and red/green/brown are all kind of a mess. In as much as I see yellow it’s like green/brown but really light. I still see colors (e.g. I can tell black and white TV and color apart) but I don’t have the same contrasts as most people. I obviously know words like “orange” and “green”, but they don’t point to distinct categories I can perceive. My parents noticed I was colorblind because I’d draw grass with an orange crayon or water with purple. It’s not a problem in daily life because I don’t particularly care what color things are and I’m pretty well-practiced at making educated guesses if it ever becomes relevant. There aren’t actually that many situations where you suddenly get quizzed on if something is red or not*. It’s basically just when people try and use color to communicate something assuming the distinction is going to be visible to everyone. e.g. I’m pretty into boardgames and a lot of my collection involved bribing friends with a nice dinner the first time we played so that they’d mark all the cards and bits with sharpies. Because otherwise I can’t play my own $50 wheat-token dynamo of passive-aggression. Flags are thus a pretty big problem if they’re purely distinguished by color. Ireland’s and Italy’s flags might as well be identical to me : I can tell them apart from each other if they’re both in front of me, but that’s about it. All the tricolors pretty much suck. All the gender and sexual orientation ones are just stripes to me. They’re distinct if nearby each other, but it’s not “this flags has colors X, Y and Z”, it’s more like memorizing the names of the twins you just met via how they’re dressed. I’m memorizing other stuff about those actual, physical flags to just of get through whatever situation I’m in. Meanwhile I can definitely, 100% see some lions volant** and dope poo poo like so in as much as I have a voice in this discussion, I’m very pro just putting a device on flags too. There are a million cool things no one’s using! *Just by the by, next time you meet a colorblind person, please refrain from grabbing a random object and asking them what color it is. Think about how hosed up that is for a second : when you meet someone in a wheelchair. is your gut reaction to ask them to climb some stairs? Why????? **  don’t heraldry @ me

Seriously though, you do make a good point about flags that I've never considered, one that affects a pretty large minority. Kind of makes all the various gender/sexuality flags seem kind of callous, since there clearly wasn't much thought put into legibility across the human visual spectrum. At an immediate glance, subculture/fetish community is the most visually inclusive one:  In conclusion, you're more likely to be part of a fetish community if you're colorblind.
