Lemmisaur@lemmy.zipto Vexillology@lemmy.world•Salt Lake City and Boise adopt official pride flags to skirt Republican bansEnglish2·20 days agoSince I saw this comment and couldn’t get out of the rabbit hole’s event horizon:
The Sego Lily stands for resilience and is a native flower in the area. On the original blue-white flag the blue stripe stood for the sky and the Great Salt Lake while the white stripe stood for snow and salt.
Lemmisaur@lemmy.zipOPto Vexillology@lemmy.world•Proposed Presidential Standard of Equatorial GuineaEnglish4·20 days agoThe flag/standard was proposed in 1986 along with two other variants after President Obiang requested it. The flags never became official.
The three stars are colonel stars relating to the grade that Obiang had in the (probably Spanish) army, the silk cotton tree (Ceiba) is also on the national arms of Equatorial Guinea. I couldn’t find the reason for the colours on the background.
Everyone who has ever sown or digitalized this flag earns my full respect.

Lemmisaur@lemmy.zipOPto Vexillology@lemmy.world•Standard of the Emir of "Koweit" (Kuwait) (1940–1956) shown on a flagpoleEnglish3·22 days agoThe reason why the flag is flown with the hoist on the left is because of the writing on it. The centre text says “Kuwait” or “Koweit” as it was also called at the time, and the text on the hoist is a declaration of faith in Islam and says “There is no God but God (Allah), Muhammed is the messenger of God”. I couldn’t find what the arrow-ish symbol or the two lines meant.

The cross’s arms on the symbol represent “man and woman, with their capacity to generate life”, the circle surrounded by red triangles represents the rugged terrain. The colours don’t seem to mean anything.

The blue crossed caducees on the flag represent the Roman god Mercury, being the protector of merchants.
Lemmisaur@lemmy.zipto Science Memes@mander.xyz•What else are they hiding from us?English24·1 month agoI tried to get multiple physicists to help me mine this imaginary time, but they all said that it was “impossible” and that it’s “not how time works” or something.
I guess people just really don’t want to jump on this money-making bandwagon.
Lemmisaur@lemmy.zipOPto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Map of the States of the Punjab Hills, 1852.2·1 month agoI made this months before I joined Lemmy using this source. I was unsure about Muzafarabad’s name because I couldn’t find any name for the state except for the river flowing through it, which had a blury and curved name.
Then the Tornado Guards will shoo it away.
The green in the flag represents the vegetation and pastures of the municipality, the white wavy stripe represents the Rio Camuy river which goes through a cave midway through (as represented with the split down the middle), the symbol in the middle represents the Sun, which is named “Camuy” in the Taino language.
