The bars on the flag are arranged to be a circle interlacing the infinity symbol, the colours are from the Olympic Flag, standing for the five continents of the world (under their definition).

Since I saw this comment and couldn’t get out of the rabbit hole’s event horizon:
The Sego Lily stands for resilience and is a native flower in the area. The blue stripe stands for the sky and the Great Salt Lake while the white stripe stands for snow and salt. The flag itself was made in 2020 by combining the two finalist designs of the Sego Lily Flag and the Beehive Flag, it would be made the official flag on 2020-10-06 (YYYYMMDD).
The flag/standard was proposed in 1986 along with two other variants after President Obiang requested it. The flags never became official.
The three stars are colonel stars relating to the grade that Obiang had in the (probably Spanish) army, the silk cotton tree (Ceiba) is also on the national arms of Equatorial Guinea. I couldn’t find the reason for the colours on the background.
Everyone who has ever sown or digitalized this flag earns my full respect.
The three colours on the hoist of the swallow-tailed flag are the ones on the flag of Gabon, next to them are two crossed anchors.

The flag contains the emblem of Phatthalung defacing the Thai flag. The emblem contains the Phu Khao Ok Thalu mountain, which is the symbol of the province.
The reason why the flag is flown with the hoist on the left is because of the writing on it. The centre text says “Kuwait” or “Koweit” as it was also called at the time, and the text on the hoist is a declaration of faith in Islam and says “There is no God but God (Allah), Muhammed is the messenger of God”. I couldn’t find what the arrow-ish symbol or the two lines meant.

The green colour and the star and cresent on the flag are the symbols of Islam, the words at the top of the hoist say “Alash” in the Arabic script.

The cross’s arms on the symbol represent “man and woman, with their capacity to generate life”, the circle surrounded by red triangles represents the rugged terrain, with the ring being above them. The colours don’t seem to mean anything.

The blue crossed caducees on the flag represent the Roman god Mercury, being the protector of merchants.
They’re just thinking about the most anonymous rug pulling plan that will eventually be news-worthy level catastrophic if they pull it off successfully.
(They will always be waiting for everything to line up just perfectly to perform said plan, and will never end up doing it.)
Actually according to this graph I just found, you’re wrong and will never be right once. /s
No, that would just make them stronger.
Move human civilization to a different solar system and then explode the sun, it’ll all be worth it once those things are gone.
I tried to get multiple physicists to help me mine this imaginary time, but they all said that it was “impossible” and that it’s “not how time works” or something.
I guess people just really don’t want to jump on this money-making bandwagon.
I made this months before I joined Lemmy using this source. I was unsure about Muzafarabad’s name because I couldn’t find any name for the state except for the river flowing through it, which had a blury and curved name.
For your point about changing their names, we can’t change country names solely in English because there’s not an organization for it.
We only changed the name of Turkey to Türkiye because it requested to be named as such in the United Nations.
It seems like the nations themselves would have to request their names to be changed in all foreign languages for English to adopt it.
The flag is based off of the sheild in the coat of arms of Tomylivka, the cross, crown, crescent moon, sabre, and stars are all symbols of Cossack flags in the 17th and 18th centuries.
