An updated Gadsen flag

Saw this in the wild today but I wasn't quick enough to get a photo. It was flying from the bed of a big pickup truck, of course.

Flag of Japan but the Sun is in Dymaxion projection instead of orthographic

Yes, this is a map of the Sun. #### Legend: 🟥 OW OW MY EYES ::: spoiler Explanation * [Orthographic projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_map_projection) = view of a sphere from a large distance. It sucks because it distorts terribly and cannot show more than one hemisphere. It is how we see astronomical objects. * [Dymaxion projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map) = the globe is projected on an icosahedron, which is then cut into its net. The net is usually chosen to keep continents continuous but the Sun does not have this restriction. As such, any of the [43,380 distinct edge-cut nets](https://art.ist.hokudai.ac.jp/~horiyama/research/unfolding/r05.pdf) can be used, as well as an unlimited number of nets if side cutting is allowed (as [the most commonly used Dymaxion projection of Earth](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dymaxion_projection.png) does). ::: ::: spoiler Transcript for visually impaired The flag of Japan is a rectangular white banner bearing a crimson-red circle at its center to symbolize the rising sun. Instead of a circle, this version features a shape composed of 20 equilateral triangles that form a icosahedron net that somewhat resembles this community's iconic stegosaurus. (To improve the stegosaurish look, the net is actually fake and won't fold correctly but don't tell anyone. One would need a good sense of 3D visualisation or actually create and try to fold it to find out.) :::

No, Krusty, that looks exactly like the flag of the Philippine independentist society Katipunan from 1892!

Inspired by https://sh.itjust.works/post/923260, but now with an obscure flag.

I'd just like to remind everybody that there is a python script for seychellesizing flags out there. See sample of Seychellesized Sri Lanka

Hawaii, but with the flag of Schaumburg-Lippe in the canton instead of the Union Jack, due to some advanced alt-history I can't even figure out myself.

Don't you think this community needs some proper circlejerking to live up to its name? Next up may be Republika Srpska.
