        It’s the calendar date of the day you were born, repeated each year. But that’s not important right now.

                Supposedly in the summer due to something about the stars. Xmas was supposed to be cultural approtiates of the winter solstice or something. I’m sure someone will add to this.

                  On a serious note, yes Christmas was placed where it was in order to coincide with Saturnalia, the Roman winter solstice festival. This was an attempt by Constantine, the emperor who legalized Christianity in Rome, to transition the Romans to Christianity more easily.

            I’ve never seen one before. No one has. But I’m guessing it’s a white hole.

              It’s not even like there aren’t two US flag options, too: 🇺🇸🇺🇲

              If anyone figures out the difference, let me know, because these look pretty much the same.

                Taking a screenshot and zooming in, the grainy extrapolated pixels appear to be in exactly the same pattern. Very odd indeed.

                Apparently because of how flag codes work, the USA and US Minor Outlying Islands technically have different flags in unicode, even though they’re the same flag. There are countless people who have used the USA minor Outlying Islands flag instead of the regular USA flag.
