Rebranding Your Country... (Countryballs)

[@darklordaranyx2467]

Little tidbit: the modern german flag (not inherently in the same order of colours) is actually older than both the imperial and the no-no-german flag as it was used by the national-liberal movement during the revolution of 1848 which sought a unified german state.

[@mariotheundying]

Nali Germany 😱

[@Demonetization_Symbol]

Really? I thought it started with the Weimar Republic.

[@dorderre]

And this national-liberal movement got its colours from the Lützow Free Corps, an army of volunteers from all over Germany, fighting against Napoleon's armies. Which might be a reason why everytime Germany shuffled off a dictatorship it turned to these colours :D

[@ganarygirl4557]

[@joffreybaratheon4904]

The Prussian Eagle looked more terrifying than the Fat Chicken

[@alfrig1363]

Fun Fact Addition: Fat Chicken specifically is directed at the version of it hanging in the German Parliament.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

There are even multiple eagles, There is obviously the fat chicken for the federal diet, but also the more edgy version of the federal council, the one for the federal president (which looks like the one for the council, but with eyes), the one for the government, that is a bit smoother than the last two but looks like being in pain and angry at the same time, and the one for the constitutional court that looks like a smooth hexagon that is lifting.

I'm Canadian, and the measurement system we use in different situations is interesting. Air temperature is C, but the pool is in F, and cooking is in F. Speed is in km/h, but for distance we often use miles colloquially, especially here in the prairies where our roads are all on a mile grid. Construction and materials are all in feet and inches. Weight is in pounds and height is in feet and inches, except for on official documents like a driver's license.
