Doge
(i.ibb.co)
The title is perfect for the post
Well yeah, doge is the meme that the picture spawned
If someone has a time machine, they can just make the world a better place by killing baby ~~Adolf Hitler~~ Thomas Malthus.
Ah, yes. Science. That thing where going back in time to kill the scientist who discovered something guarantees that no one else will ever think of the same concept.
Thomas Malthus was not a scientist, but an economist and a cleric.
Science convergers on the same truth. It's the stupid that creates uniquely dumb outcomes. If you want to change the world by time travel, do not kill the scientist, kill the fool.
That's still too late. As a post yesterday pointed out. Doge is the result of Homestar Runner being somewhat illiterate.
it's .com!
Homestarrunner.net
Its dot coooooom
How about going back in time to make sure the Constitution is written with less room for interpretation? You could solve DOGE, Trump, and gun rights in one go.
Go back and never compromise with the south during our early years. No slavery loopholes no state rights senate bullshit. Partner with George to make a 3rd party. Make a clause that no actor can become president. Would solve 2 of the worst presidents....
Go back to the fifties and stop the systematic dismantling of the education system.
Take out RBG in like 2014
I'd be more prone to pushing Obama to be more aggressive, especially with the courts. Some harsh conversations with the dnc in 2010 could do a lot
Do you really want a constitution written by a bunch of slave-owning, warmongering aristocrats to be more specific?
Uh... maybe?
Trump and Elon don't actually care about the constitution, you know. They pretend that they do because it's patriotic, but it wouldn't stop them from doing anything they're doing.
Look putting Musk's stupidity aside (and believe me, I'm absolutely livid as a former educational researcher), I need to get this unpopular opinion off my chest.
It's... actually kind of fucking funny to name an agency DOGE.
Hear me out! NPR today kept saying it over and over again with straght fucking faces (well, voices) and the whole god damned time I'm muttering to myself "it's a meme, it's a god damned meme". It's like if someone named an agency LOSS, I would fucking lose my shit. If this was any other timeline and a shitlord like Musk wasn't the one making the joke, it would be funny.
Anyway that's my guilty thought I wanted to share to you, random internet strangers. I hope in better times, President AOC has a SUS initiative or something. I just love reporters being forced to say this shit.
It'll also make it easier for future history students studying the last days of American hegemony to get a grasp on what's going on. They just need to be told "They were making government agencies based on memes" to get a decent idea of the mindset of the time.
The problem is that this is not a joking matter. Gutting USAID suddenly has literally kills a TON of people.
You caught some heat but you are 100% right. This is encapsulated every time I watch a house hearing clip and the reps say it over and over. The context of what they’re fighting is so infuriating, but just hearing these mostly out of touch old fucks who can’t comprehend technology saying it still almost evokes a grin.
Just wait until we get the agency for the Treasury, Housing, Economics, General Administration and Market Enforcement
Dammit...been years
Or the BUSSIN initiative.
Or the USDA safe beef program I Can Has Cheeseburger.
Or the protection from fake news program No Cap Fam.
Or the USDA safe beef program I Can Has Cheeseburger.
I'm kinda surprised there's not a standard meme response to this meme by now - it itself being an older meme.
It seems this meme has avoided detection by referencing the old age of the meme to which it's posted in response. But with what could we respond to it? The same meme? Wouldn't that start a recursive loop? More research is required...
I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it further.
Poor dog doesn't deserve this legacy.
Neither does Homestar Runner
Huh? I'm out of the loop on Homestar Runner legacy drama, apparently.
Even the coin deserves better than this.
Yep, she was a good girl that definitely deserved better. Tasty treats? Yes. Becoming the face of Elon Musk's neo-fascist movement? No.
I cant believe I'd say this but, if you would kill baby hitler then poor doge too had it coming
Hell, at this point I can think of at least a dozen prominent figures that I wouldn't mind seeing experience a bit of crib death if I had a time machine.
Unfortunately Doge the government thing would exist regardless of the dog
The cryptocurrency though, who knows
I mean you can make up a lot of different names for an efficiency agency, I'm pretty sure Musk picked the name, as they renamed the Digital Services department to create Doge - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Government_Efficiency
