    those flags that ships used to communicate.

    i think those are called semaphore and they’re cool as hell. i have a set of flags around here somewhere

      Of course the random dude I replied to on Lemmy owns a set of semaphore flags. What else would I expect?

        oh, my wife and i are [mode of communication] geeks. she knows 3 different sign languages, i know a really rare one, we both speak just enough of like 17 different languages to order food and find the library and bathroom wherever we go. Also in semaphore. Partly because we sing, partly because we like people. The first time you learn a new language it changes the way you think about the world just by giving you new words and structures to place those words. It’s beautiful.
