In life you either cry, laugh, love or succumb to raging nationalism.
Or, in case of Japan, sparkle
and whatever the Kuwaitis think the pin 📍 emoji means
Well they did get their data from geotagged tweets, which I imagine skews the results just a bit towards nationalism.
Shout out to all the tiny islands who apparently do nothing but send their own flag to each other all day. We see you lite buddies.
I don’t think I have ever sent a flag. So it’s wild to me.
Poland’s most used emoji being Ukrainian flag is kinda hilarious.

Data was likely sourced during the war, and Poland is one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine (in part because they fear they might be next)
Japan has the only semi-interesting one.
Kuwait has something unique too 📍
And Laos 🥰
What is it and why do they use it?
On Twitter …
Having geotag enabled. How stupid are people? Protect your data folks.
I can’t believe there’s no 💀
Reminder that “national boundaries with mercator projection” maps are, while on the surface interesting, on a meaningful enough level are less useful due to sheer degree of variance. Small (sized) countries get buried to thr point of not being visible, while large (populated) countries get over-generalised to the point of meaninglessness.
I want to know why Trinidad, indonesia, Uruguay and Chile have 🤣 where as most of the world does 😂
It’s the italicized version
How’d they find out the north Korea one?
This graph was made from geotagged tweets.
Presumably that’s why the flags are so popular as well, I doubt Belgians are sending Belgian flags to one another in the DM’s. Or maybe they do, I wouldn’t know.
I was thinking this exact thing.
Yeah far right nationalism definitely is a thing but I don’t remember ever seeing someone texting the flag and I know quite a few nationalists.
