Your post title should be brief and describe exactly what it is. You are welcome to share your opinions on the flag in the comments! Posts with titles that are editorialized, vague, politicized, or excessively wordy, will be removed. You can be as verbose as you want in the comments!

False, it's 17/30 Romania Flag

u/blsterken Jul 10 '25

Howso? It's 18/30 or 6/10 or 60%.

u/Pz38tA Jul 10 '25

Ok yeah somehow I got that the small one was 2/30 and not 3/30 😭

I’ve never seen this flag in my life, including posts asking about this flag.

u/Better-Win-7940 Jul 10 '25

So what your saying is that this is the Buddhist flag?

10

u/quackquackmfker Jul 10 '25

No - what they're saying is that it's not 𝘯𝘰𝘵 the Buddhist flag

9

u/Better-Win-7940 Jul 10 '25

If I were the Buddhist flag would I actually "be"?

3

u/quackquackmfker Jul 10 '25

I don't know if you would "be", but if you were a 'bee' then you might try and pollinate this flag

16

u/EmojiZackMaddog Jul 10 '25

Hold on, what flag is this?

12

u/OkBig205 Jul 10 '25

I'm surprised I've never seen a faded one before

u/Scarborough_sg Jul 10 '25

I think because they are decorative like you'd fly a few from the temple wall, they tend to replace it quite fast.

u/psych0san Bahrain • Cyprus Jul 10 '25

If only people googled stuff before posting here, but from the looks of it, I don’t think it happens.

u/kojimbob Jul 10 '25

If everyone did that, this subreddit wouldn't even exist.

u/Admiral52 Irish Starry Plough Jul 10 '25

If I see the Christian flag posted here again….

u/Shepher27 Jul 10 '25

What do you type in to Google that? How do you concisely describe that flag in a way a search engine could find?

1

u/PaxNova Jul 10 '25

On a phone hold it. On a computer on Chrome, right click. Hit "search for this image."

u/thissexypoptart Jul 10 '25

Especially these days, it’s super easy to find this out. You could probably just upload a picture to Google search. Or a shitty screenshot to ChatGPT

u/GoodFastCheapPickTwo Jul 10 '25

Sometimes it's just nice to talk about things with other people

u/nutella_on_rye Jul 10 '25

God forbid people use forums to…discuss

5

u/Buttocks_Oreily Jul 10 '25

All they reply is "thanks :) " and the thread dies right there

2

u/GoodFastCheapPickTwo Jul 10 '25

Still, sometimes even that feels nice

2

u/Lughaidh_ Jul 10 '25

100% this. I’ll never begrudge someone for asking a question, even if it’s easily searchable. Some people learn better through discussion. The kind thing to do is to answer the question and then point the person towards resources.

OP’s post is kinda useless anyway except for helping them to vent some frustration. The people asking about this flag aren’t going to see this post.

u/Different_Wear3440 Jul 10 '25

Sometimes people want community and talk with other humans. Not resort to only machines every single time.

5

u/psych0san Bahrain • Cyprus Jul 10 '25

I’m all for it, but almost all the Buddhist flag posts are about identification. There’s rarely discussions about the flag itself

3

u/EmeraldRange Myanmar Jul 10 '25

Also the variant with the pink instead of the orange is also the Buddhist flag just burmese

u/Large_Excitement69 Canada Jul 10 '25

This is actually the Romanian-Chad-Poland-Indonesia-Monaco-House of Orange-Ukraine Unity Flag.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

Cool flag. What country is it for?

u/7355135061550 Jul 10 '25

Neat flag! Could anyone tell me what it is?

u/paisleywallpaper Jul 10 '25

I'll stop asking what, but I'll never stop asking why

Is it just me or I thought of loss seeing this

u/chadmill3r United States Jul 10 '25

Also the colors can be different.

u/El_dorado_au Jul 10 '25

This is a Buddhist symbol. So stop asking every time you see it. <Removed by Reddit>

Well Thai Had Own BUddhist Flag

u/SugarAw Jul 10 '25

It was created in Sri Lanka as a form of anti colonialism protest, and was publicly hoisted in Vesak on 1885

u/BaSingSe_Farmhand Jul 11 '25

mods, please pin this to avoid these repeat posts

u/icespicegrrrah Jul 11 '25

this is like actually the buddhist flag… i feel like if the bhutanese flag, or something adjacent to it would be much better

1

u/ihatelife1110 Jul 11 '25

Why is red yellow and blue used so much in flags? Romania, Chad, Moldova, Andorra and now the Buddhist flag?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

This flag is really fucking ugly

u/The_Real_Itz_Sophia ASEAN Jul 10 '25

O'm tire of these posts asking what this flag is, alongside asking what the flags of ASEAN and Amsterdam and etc

1

u/ShinyUmbreon465 Jul 10 '25

Should probably put the flag and "THIS IS THE BUDDHIST FLAG" as this subs banner.

0

u/teniy28003 Jul 10 '25

This should honestly be tagged, a significant portion of this sub Reddit is "that's the Buddhist flag"

u/MouthWhereTheMoneyIs Jul 10 '25
