    If instead of flying it from one pole, we use two and stretch the flag between them, we might be able to kill some birds with it to make it even more representative

    Make it real thin too so it shreds and spreads plastic all over

    Also make the poles only go one way and the standard way to deal with wanting to lower the flag is to burn it and then raise a new one when it's time to go up.

    Also, in the spirit of globalization, move the flag to the other side of the world for each step in its manufacture.

    Haah. I know they've tried to cram all the continents on to the same side of the globe to make us look united, but in doing so they've excluded new zealand. Sorry kiwis. Also Tasmania but they don't count.

    Skull and knives?

    So the aliens know we like to kill each other with knives and have a skeleton?

    We can't know if aliens even have a skeleton themselves, let alone bleed when cut by a basic-ass knife.

    Dynamic flags will only cause headaches.

    Whereas dynamic headaches very rarely cause flags.

    Hey that's like the inversion of the flag i always dreamt of for earth when i was a kid

    If you make the border the opaque part, then whatever you look at through the flag 'is' Earth. Very poetic imo, and an excellent picture frame

    A planetary flag kind of makes me feel like we’re gearing up for war.

    By vexillology standards it's a bit meh. Tiny ass details so it's impossible to see from a distance and so overcomplicated that it's impossible to draw by hand. At least it doesn't have text though so simplify the seal and then we're talking.

    So you hold it in front of Mars, and now the Earth flag looks like Mars? Come on, think it through.

    My favorite idea for a global flag was a small, sky blue pennant that’s hung above every country’s flag.

    Aliens: it appears to be a part of their internal structure that houses their motor processes. The remaining shape is of when their biological processes cease, along with devices used to cause that cessation.

    Perhaps the flag means they deliberately do this to themselves? From the look of their failing biosphere it would be apparent they are using accelerated means.
