@Anarkat Yeah but no conservative texas women will wear it as a string bikini. Or WILL they...?

@Anarkat not to be That Guy, but it does. There's a wholeass technical diagram with ratios embedded in the flag code. The one thing the US government is good at is pedantic diagrams

@neko @Anarkat Where is this diagram, is it legally binding, and on whom is it legally binding? Because the US flag code (which is what the original toot referred to) is rather vague: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/chapter-1

@cholling https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7

Paragraph (i) says that "the union should be uppermost and to the flags right" which implies that it is in one of the 4 corners.

And https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/1 states that "the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.". Emphasis on "a". implying one field. Not two.

So at least for that there's no diagram necessary...

Now I'm looking forward to new interpretations of the US-flag 😁

And what are the rules for the german flag....

So, who's going to get one of these professionally printed, and then make some conservatives brains explode when they're told it's a US flag?

Because at this point, the Flag Code isn't changing. The US gov't isn't going to revise it for specificity for some people goofing with the design.
