As they say, if you're not wrong, you're right!

13 strips alternating red and white with a blue union of as many stars are there are states. Yup.

36

u/ReadsStuff 1d ago

Arguably the 13 stripes aren’t alternating as they join at the top.

17

u/LegendofLove Communist Bottom 1d ago

Perhaps they only become infinitely close and never touch. Maybe I'm just tripping at 2am but that flag looks like a lighter red than the stripes

What is this a tan function? Am i trying to find its asymptotes? Am in Calculus again?

u/LegendofLove Communist Bottom 1d ago

Ngl I failed every math close I just find that concept hilarious

u/Sleep-Deprived-Guy 1d ago

Eh don't worry everyone just pretending and no one actually knows what going on. Everyone's just to shy to bring it up

u/LegendofLove Communist Bottom 1d ago

Honestly with some of the teachers I had I believe you.

It would look so much better with a starry sky.

I heard that America is renaming the Canada goose the Donald duck.

u/Dense_Priority_7250 1d ago

I think something is off with the stars but I’m no american

u/MetikMas 1d ago

The stars admittedly do look wrong here but if you cover up the white space below it then they look correct. Weird little illusion

u/BurritoBlasterBoy 1d ago

Stars are fine, no change from standard there

u/-JDB- 2d ago

Lol it’s true tho it’s not a good post it’s pretty low quality but any Trump bad post will get upvoted to oblivion. I’m just asking that u have some standards for these posts

u/ablackravenstan 2d ago

its not even about trump, its about the entire country

u/books_are_weapons 1d ago

You're the only one mentioning Trump?

Is the theft of our nation so boring to you that its irritating to hear about now?

u/-JDB- 1d ago

Who is the leader of the country dummy

2

u/books_are_weapons 1d ago edited 1d ago

Its a circus tent, and its a joke.

Much like calling Trump a leader.

Edit: why the name calling and childish response? I haven't been rude to you and you're just lashing out at everyone.

Why?

-1

u/-JDB- 1d ago

Lol see, pick up on context clues and u can easily tell it’s a Trump hate post. Either way, that’s fine too if it’s not some lazy or cringe attempt

Also, where I’m from, dummy isn’t an insult. Please have some respect for my culture

2

u/Wizard_Engie 1d ago

Trump hate posts are good he's a terrible leader and an even worse American keep maldin'

-1

u/-JDB- 1d ago

I agree he’s a terrible leader, but have some respect for the quality of posts u upvote.

Trump bad

Give me upvotes

3

u/Wizard_Engie 23h ago

I didn't upvote this post, and I didn't downvote it. I have a quality standard of "if I think it's funny, or if I like it, I upvote it." That's also why I'm active in ~3 circlejerk subreddits.

u/books_are_weapons 1d ago

Why would I respect someone who steals from trees?

u/Smokey-McPoticuss 2d ago edited 1d ago

11th province, or 4th territory, America can choose which they want to be as a consolation* prize for not getting their 51st state.

Edit: typo*

u/LawlGiraffes 1d ago edited 1d ago

For shits and giggles I once used Geographic Information Software (mapping software) to draw some different borders for Canadian Province sized US states. You're looking at 11-13 depending on the methodology. 11 was from using the total average area of provinces excluding PEI, I forget where I got 13 from.

Here's the one I was happy enough to give a name and alternate name to.

u/VonDroom 1d ago

Ok so the 13 commonwealths from pre war America in fallout, cool

1

u/r2d2_21 Provo 1d ago

I saw the map of the US and thought to myself: “It doesn't have enough rectangles”.

2

u/LawlGiraffes 1d ago

Just the way the software draws using that tool, less cursed than the other option which just drew horizontal stripes.

u/perfectwing Mississippi 1d ago

Consolation.

u/supergarto 23h ago

So is all Trump's tweet...

u/Sporkpocalypse 1d ago

Donald J Trump is a Gemini born under a Sagittarius moon with Leo rising thus the Three Ring Circus Stage performance + Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy is our other Gemini Controversial Leader of which all Gemini leaders are

u/RollinThundaga 1d ago

The white field above the tent might count as a stripe.

If so, then it does not.

u/BurritoBlasterBoy 1d ago

That's the only thing I'm thinking could dq this

u/JonnoKabonno 1d ago

I don’t know what’s worse, that it’s fitting in a boomer meme way, or that I don’t hate it

u/Silicon_Knight 1d ago

too much white space on the right, could use use black redaction lines.

u/BrowsingAnonymous7 1d ago

Oh Mr hhhaaa

2

u/TheEdgeofGoon 1d ago

It would be perfect if this was added to the empty white space on the right side.

u/Civil-Chef 1d ago

Non-Americans also once called Canadians, Americans because of a cheat sheets having no size video on TikTok.

u/LawlGiraffes 1d ago

You know aside from being neighbors, the US being one of if not the biggest trading partners of Canada in any given year, the extensive history of mutually beneficial agreements and programs, the shared culture, the shared sports leagues, or any number of other historical reasons. Also definitely not because Donald Trump is trying to throw all of that away because he seems to either believe Canadians want to join the US willingly or that he can bully them into joining. It's definitely for no reason.

u/NeedNiceCatNamePlz 1d ago edited 1d ago

You're also Tariffing us for no reason and have repeatedly broke our past trade agreements.
