This isn't even a flag

Hoser overthinked this idea so hard that he had to make a video about it.

Somewhere along the way, the pirate flag didn't lose its _meaning, _ after all it still means "pirates", but it did lose its emotional significance and cultural context.

I've always loved the history of flags, it's so interesting to see how creativity and professionalism has evolved over the ages.

As a carbon based life organism currently living on a planet of which we call "Earth" I accept your proposal as a piece of cloth more commonly known as a flag to represent us.

South Africa's flag is a huge W tbh. Well, it's actually a Y, but at least it's not an 𝕏.

It is kinda fun just seeing the limitations of the rules

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the flag of the United Nations. It’s the closest thing we have to a widely accepted Earth flag and it looks excellent. 🇺🇳

I didnt realize he was Canadian until I heard how he pronounced "flag"

Look, who hasn't gotten existential about human concepts before? I'm honestly glad hoser decided to just share his existentialism with us rather than wallow in it alone at night at 1 am in the morning

Isn't the hand print the best symbol for humanity? People have used it independently for thousands of years to symbol their presence

Here's the story behind the Indonesia and Monaco flags: Monaco's flag was adopted in April 1881. Chosen by Prince Charles III in 1881, the national banner recalls the colors of the Grimaldi coat of arms, which themselves recall the red and white colors of the heraldry of the Genoese Republic, the cradle of the Prince's Family. The House of Grimaldi was founded in 1160 by Grimaldo Canella in Genoa and became the ruling house of Monaco when Francesco Grimaldi captured Monaco in 1297. Monaco's flag has a 4:5 ratio and Indonesia's at 2:3. And the shade of red is darker for Monaco.

The Indonesian flag's colors are derived from the banner of the Majapahit Empire. The red and white symbolism can also be traced to the older common Austronesian mythology of the duality of Mother Earth (red) and Father Sky (white). This is why these colors appear in so many flags throughout Austronesia, from Tahiti to Madagascar. In the early 20th century these colors were revived by students and then nationalists, as an expression of nationalism against the Dutch. The modern red and white flag which was first flown in Java in 1928. After Indonesia's independence was declared and a war with the Dutch ensued, Indonesian youths removed a colonial Dutch flag flying over Surabaya's Yamato Hotel (now Hotel Majapahit), tore off the blue strip and re-hoisted it as an Indonesian flag. So symbolically, it can be interpreted as the Dutch flag without the blue, signifying the divorce.

Y’all hoser could be a student he’s just busy. Maybe a new video before the year ends

My man, we do kinda have a very tangible "Earth" flag. The UN flag. It may not be the official flag of Earth, but it is definetely one of the closest.

[Siethon]

honestly, let's just use the flag for the Olympics as the Earth flag

[aiocafea]

congrats on 50M views!!!!
i think the multiple rings flags is beautiful, and honestly a lot of the 'symbolism' on flags is very much improvised, like many colours
tha sun, moon and earth flag, with its very obvious representation, that one i find ugly

aint nothing like a new hoser video after a long day

I work with flags as a volunteer. I take care of flags, organize them, clean them and hang them in public places. I've always found flags to be fascinating. So, any videos questioning the existence of flags fascinates me beyond all reason.
