"What is up?" They're up your butt, and we still haven't been able to fight them?

this is the only flag

Poor Australia left out.

A planetary flag kind of makes me feel like we’re gearing up for war.

So you hold it in front of Mars, and now the Earth flag looks like Mars? Come on, think it through.

a flag specifically for distinguishing this planet, that when taken anywhere it would be useful to distinguish origin planet, fails to do so. genius (i'm agreeing with you)

Hey that's like the inversion of the flag i always dreamt of for earth when i was a kid

If you make the border the opaque part, then whatever you look at through the flag 'is' Earth. Very poetic imo, and an excellent picture frame

You could even do this without plastic if you just hem around a circular hole.

I'm putting my face in the hole and being like "the whole world is about me. Also Japan is just red earth.

"I said the real Earth flag."

Haah. I know they've tried to cram all the continents on to the same side of the globe to make us look united, but in doing so they've excluded new zealand. Sorry kiwis. Also Tasmania but they don't count.

Hey, it’s the equal earth projection!

Here you are all equally worthless!

plastic flag to represent our planet, fitting

If instead of flying it from one pole, we use two and stretch the flag between them, we might be able to kill some birds with it to make it even more representative

Make it real thin too so it shreds and spreads plastic all over

Also make the poles only go one way and the standard way to deal with wanting to lower the flag is to burn it and then raise a new one when it's time to go up.

Also, in the spirit of globalization, move the flag to the other side of the world for each step in its manufacture.

Skull and knives?

So the aliens know we like to kill each other with knives and have a skeleton?

We can't know if aliens even have a skeleton themselves, let alone bleed when cut by a basic-ass knife.

Sex flag. Let the aliens know what's up

The flag of Earth:

Now even the flags have titties

Are they soapy?

You're on your way to work so you have no way of knowing

Drat.

Just a big upside down pineapple on top of the LGBTQ+ flag so the aliens know we are down for anything and thirsty fr

Some graphics will help clear that up I bet.

Dynamic flags will only cause headaches.

Whereas dynamic headaches very rarely cause flags.

I'd say every nation state is a dynamic headache and they all have flags

That's a BIT reductive, but I'll allow it 😄

This idiotic idea was likely caused by a dynamic headache.

Aliens: These stupid monkeys are offering to remove their skin and give us their skulls?

Am i the only one who likes the UN flag?

By vexillology standards it's a bit meh. Tiny ass details so it's impossible to see from a distance and so overcomplicated that it's impossible to draw by hand. At least it doesn't have text though so simplify the seal and then we're talking.

But by the standards of anyone outside of r/vexillology, it is a pretty sick flag that should definitely be used everywhere

is that minos prime

Shattered Glass Japan (inversed)

Humanity, Fuck Yeah

Mais, pourquoi pas les deux?

My favorite idea for a global flag was a small, sky blue pennant that’s hung above every country’s flag.

I’m still a fan of a variation of this one, if used to represent our species as a whole.

It's not terrible, if it were to represent our species.

However, until we are an interplanetary species representing ourselves to other intelligent species I think a flag for "earth" is more relevant in most contexts.

For example, if an earth flag was flown along side a country's flag, that conveys an intention of unity and cooperation. If a human flag is flown there it doesn't convey much additional meaning IMO.

We know

We aren’t the only ones on this planet though, it’s too egotistical.

The nematodes can make their own flag.

For a flag for humans or species it’s fine, but the topic is about a planetary flag.

Fair enough. The nematodes can submit their ideas by the end of the month for consideration.

Aliens: it appears to be a part of their internal structure that houses their motor processes. The remaining shape is of when their biological processes cease, along with devices used to cause that cessation.

Perhaps the flag means they deliberately do this to themselves? From the look of their failing biosphere it would be apparent they are using accelerated means.

Plant the flag on Mars, Mars becomes part of flag, insta colonised. #galaxybrain
