@Karla Really this got a downvote? I guess maybe, I wasn't funny enough in the Funny thread or someone really doesn't like bikers who run red lights on their bike.
A logical conclusion, to be sure.

I suspect that someone is running a script that randomly downvotes posts to piss people off. Over the last few days, I've noticed quite a few posts which couldn't possibly have been downvoted for any other reason than trolling the poster.

The solution to this problem is to always post something you won't be surprised to receive a downvote for.

@Karla
I mean, if I were the downboating type, I'd be tempted just because you didn't close the tags from the previous post you quoted

Looks good to me. Could use bacon though.

@Polygeekery if you replaced the guacamole with a ground beef patty, you could have a hamburger.

@anotherusername
Psh, who wastes a good hamburger by not adding bacon?

Both, please. And the bacon. Especially the bacon.

Though I would have never made that joke if I didn't make the previous posts you downvoted.

@RaceProUK the creases being in the same place relative to the colors is a nice touch.

The more I look the more it looks like they've rotated the picture (and the shadow was added later).
In fact, let me see:Hmm, not sure.

The outer shape is the same (not rotated) on both, see e.g. the small indent on the bottom of the left side. So I'd say they have one blank shape template on which they paste textures to show the colors. And the texture for both flags is indeed the same, rotated (creases etc.).
Do they have and (or ) versions so we can compare on another example? (or /, /...)
And are / at the same price? What about /?
(and do all these flag have an official definition of the exact colors to use? In most cases the emojis use slightly different tinges... / and / seem to be the only exact matches...)

@remi Fun fact: if you hang the French flag upside down it is a distress call.

Quick search revealed this nice graphic: http://time.com/patriotic-flag-colors/ which would indicate that yes, there is an official definition of each color of each flag. Can't be bothered to search for anything more.

I thought with the French one you just had to remove the red and blue stripes...

For all the talk of American exceptionalism, there is at least one thing that is unexceptional about the United States: it’s flag.
I didn't know the US was flag.

@Mikael_Svahnberg Oh! That explains why there's an entire meme around France and the white flag of surrender! :D

Fun story time! During the French Revolution, a few scientists set out to carefully measure the distance between Paris and [somewhere towards Spain, can't remember where] by triangulating between various high points. This work was used, among other things, to properly measure the length of the meridian, from which the metre was to be defined.
(as a scientific aside, as far as I can remember the error in their measurements was a few metres out of more than 1 000 km... not bad!)
At one point, one of those scientists had the clever idea to put a flag at the top of one tower, to make sure he could spot it easily from the next high point. He very wisely used a white flag, i.e. the king's flag. He was apparently quite lucky to escape alive...

Dunkirk and Barcelona. The guys were Delambre and Méchain and the error was 0.23 mm/m, so about 300 m on the total distance.

More here:
At Herment he needed to make measurements of a tower, so he hung a white flag from it so as to better observe it, unfortunately white was the colour of the hated Royalist flag. The townspeople were so enraged that he had to sew red and white strips into it to make it look like the French tricolour flag. On the outskirts of Paris he barely escaped the Guillotine.

The dining room, deep in the hotel, is a broad space of high ceilings and coving, with thick carpets to muffle the screams. It is decorated in various shades of taupe, biscuit and fuck you.
...
The canapé we are instructed to eat first is a transparent ball on a spoon. It looks like a Barbie-sized silicone breast implant, and is a “spherification”, a gel globe using a technique perfected by Ferran Adrià at El Bulli about 20 years ago. This one pops in our mouth to release stale air with a tinge of ginger. My companion winces. “It’s like eating a condom that’s been left lying about in a dusty greengrocer’s,” she says.
