Sorry it isn't copy and paste, but it wouldn't copy in color.

Fix your Stars.  There is a very set pattern they need to be in.

 

Also, there should be only 13 stripes. 

 

Please tell me you know why.

Americans are so weird.

I know the pattern and amount of stars have changed as more states joined, and for the 13 stripes they stand for the original 13 colonies

it would be cooler if it was 1's & 0's and spelled something in binary;

I know, but I only wanted to get the look of one without too much trouble of all the stars in the right spots and exactly 50.

Gotta put flags on everything. I get that it's a holiday though.

 

But like why can't it be like a picture of some BBQ ribs. Or a corn dog.

Here! My dad's car (I'm a kid) in the US flag colors! Generated by Copilot -
I agree, @Hideki Ryuga, a flag colored something else would be cooler.

Ahh.

Yes, I don't get it either.

 

I am a 51 year old naturally born American and I cannot for the life of me understand all the flag shit we do.

 

Like... did you forget what you live?!  We're all Americans, so why throw the flag out at us?   We know we're in Amercan, duh motherucker!!!!

 

It's the only country  have ever been in so far that is sooooo over the top with pseudo patriotism.

There's other countries like that. Especially on independence days.

Could do, but then we're missing 4 more. Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana

Yeah but they're not official states.  Which is what the stars represent.

 

But yeah, you're not wrong.

Right but they're not counted in our state list.  I am sorry if it appeared I meant they were.

There are more than 50 white 0s in OPs flag. There's 53.

But yes, the flag has 50 stars.

I wasn't sure if you thought that I thought PR and DC were states and not territories, so I pointed out that even if OP went with territories they got their count wrong. Poorly worded on my part.

It's a holiday to celebrate the USA Declaration of Independence RE the birth of our country. 

[emothxughts]

My country's flag looks almost the same, just replace the 50 stars with one big yellow crescent moon and 14 pointed star...and maybe change the order of the red & white stripes.

I don't understand how this represents the flag.

[CasualExtremist]

_/s The fact that you havent spent the tedious time to create high resolution pixel art out of "0"s to get the perfect 13 strips and 50 stars while maintaining proper width-to-length ratio of the overall flag size is just appalling to me.

 

Clearly you need some help being an American, so I found this calculator for you
