My favorite intention-warping meme of late is "this is a technically compliant US flag according to the US flag code"
@Anarkat not to be That Guy, but it does. There's a wholeass technical diagram with ratios embedded in the flag code. The one thing the US government is good at is pedantic diagrams
@neko @Anarkat The specify the order of colors allowed in bunting, and like fully nobody listens to it. It rules.

@neko I will accept that there is a diagram describing the precise layout of the flag, and assert that, under a "founding fathers" approach to US regulations, they don't matter.

If conservatives can ignore every bit of social progress made in the country to suit their own ends, why can't we ignore every bit of design progress made in the US flag, and declare that the US flag is whatever we want it to be, with a specific focus on malicious compliance?

@neko @Anarkat oh my wow, they took the opportunity of the 50th state to go full Late Fifties Engineering Draftsman Hand Lettering. Autism approved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Flag_Code#/media/File%3AUS_Flag_spec_TIOH_5-1-17_1967.jpg
