There are some wild things in the flag code. Like you technically aren’t allowed to have your flag up between sunset and sunrise unless it is "purposefully lit, meaning a light installed for the specific purpose of lighting the flag and not, say, a porch light that illuminates it.
Imagine having such a braindead devotion to a piece of fabric that you must burn it if it touches the floor.
Even better; that’s not a rule, the US flag code just says you should avoid having it on the ground so it doesn’t get damaged/dirty
