Picture of striped toothpaste with similar colors to the Dutch flag

I'm sorry but this is very clearly the flag of Luxembourg.

hon hon hon, this is cleearly the previous french flag

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Incorrect, the French flag has very dark navy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

They changed it not that long ago it was lighter before.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wrong shades of red and maybe blue for France.

I hope there'll never be toothpaste with the German flag's colors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yellow and black tooth paste do exist, so we have the technology.

But we really shouldn't 🤢

Missed the opportunity to make it 1 pixel wide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There is more red than blue.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

20 pixels each

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

What you originally posted two comments up, seems to have either a white pixel bleeding into the red, or a couple red pixels straying into the white.

That may just be my bad eyesight though.

I'm subscribed as well but the post don't seem to show up in my feed. I'll have to look into that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

looking at this makes me want to mod a game like minecraft or something so the player character is the landmass of the Netherlands and your health bar is the flag

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Minecraft but you play as the Netherlands

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I see zero subscribers, zero posts. I'm not breaking that streak

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Thank you! Just shared over there and edited my title for accuracy

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The best part of this meme is watching the thumbnail and attachment together. It's like timed perfectly.

I remember subscribing to [email protected] but got dead :<

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It is not the size of the Dutch flag that matters, it is that you use it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

You see them long ones fairly often in the Netherlands, though I suppose it's technically called a streamer or pennant or something.
