    Everything!

    Say "I love you babe!"

    • Long term relationship - green
    • First date - red

    Say "I'll beat you!"

    • Racing a kid - green
    • When stoping in the middle of the woods with your date - red

    Let a fart rip

    • With a friend when the room is silent - green
    • On your date when she rims you - red

    I can go on

    A literal flag colored red, if you or the flag is moving towards the other so fast as to blueshift it to green.

      Sooooo, wavelengths (λ) become longer when something moves away (redshift) and become shorter when something moves towards you (blueshift).

      For a red flag (λ0=610nm) to become a green flag (λ1=549nm), it has to move towards you quite fast. But how fast is 'quite fast'?

      Using the formula

      flag_velocity / speed of light © = difference in wavelengths / starting wavelength

      we get

      flag_velocity = (610-549) / 610 * c = 61 / 610 * c = 1/10 * c

      This means: the flag has to move with about c/10 = 30 000 000 m/s = 108 000 000 km/h = 67 108 100 mph. Yeah, that's quite fast.

      (Disclaimer:

      1. use info on own risk

      2. values for λ were chosen in a way to make calculations easy. There is no info on what shade of red or green the flag is. The final result will be about the same.

      3. With speeds at around 10% of c, I should use the formula considering the relativistic doppler effect… However, i wont. Thanks.)

    Red flag: My friend once saw what looked like people setting a RadioShack ablaze and stealing all the expensive electronics and making off with them all.

    Green flag context: It was actually a faulty electronic that caused the fire, and the "thieves" were Good Samaritans saving everything from getting burned.

            Oh. I'm not sure. That's the least they could've done though, considering someone posted a video of them saving the electronics and ruined their reputation. Made worse because they were loyal AA immigrant employees in a community that was growing unfonder of the immigration and the perception of what they were doing caused things to skyrocket.

              Was there a reason they didn't try to put out the fire or call the firestation? Triple-O or whatever is never far away.

                The idea of anyone helping was a business liability concern, but the insistent bystanders wanted to balance that out with anything they thought they "could" do. Both the firestation and the police (because they had nothing else to do in their tiny area) were called but took a while because Winter was in its cusp at the time.

                Ironically it was the fact the police understood the bystanders' intentions that made citizens (who thought it was a burglary) accuse everyone in charge of being overly sympathetic to what they thought was immigration-spawned crime. Police even made a public statement about the bystanders' intentions, but the citizens didn't believe the police on that.

    If a person with protanopia/deuteranopia looks at a red flag, one sees green-ish flag.

      Hi, protan here, you are not a correct. I am red-blind and it's more like reds are extremely muted, with weaker reds looking kinda grey.

      Yellows turn into greens, though, for perhaps predictable reasons.

    Red flags: wants constant attention, nags constantly for me to make her dinner, sometimes physically hurts me.

    Green flag: when it's my cat.

        They're just not moving fast enough, or possibly in the right direction.

            pssst hey you missed the conversion from seconds to hours, your answers are in kilometres/miles per second and need to be another 3600 times larger.

              Are you sure about that? From m/s to km/h you multiply by 3600 (for the time) and divide by 1000 (for the distance) which leads to a factor of 3.6.

              Personally i always remember 25 m/s = 90 km/h = 56 mph because of the somewhat round numbers.

            Well, instead of moving the flag, we could collapse the space in between us rapidly. Would that be easier? I think I have some dark energy around here somewhere…

    If your partner is indiscriminately murdering vaguely shady people with a bow and arrow it will probably be fine, cause he’ll reset the universe and become god (or something?) just be sure to weep about being betrayed at least once every seas—er… year.

    Partners who want to do everything for you.

    They're very giving, and will do you so many favors, and cater to your whims. Favorite ice cream? Let me go buy it for you! Need something from the store? I'll go get it! Need a ride? Got you covered!

    Once they have you "locked down" (married, pregnant, in a long-term lease, dependant on them for transport, etc.) they can do a 180 and suddenly "you owe them". No more favors. Only guilt. They'll isolate you and make every negative emotion they feel be "your fault."

    They want you to become dependant on them so they can use and manipulate you.

    Be so very careful with overly kind/giving people. Never let yourself be 100% dependant on someone else. Ever. No matter how nice they are to you.
