If someone has a time machine, they can just make the world a better place by killing baby ~~Adolf Hitler~~ Thomas Malthus.

That's still too late. As a post yesterday pointed out. Doge is the result of Homestar Runner being somewhat illiterate.

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.

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?

I cant believe I'd say this but, if you would kill baby hitler then poor doge too had it coming

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

The problem is that this is not a joking matter. Gutting USAID suddenly has literally kills a TON of people.

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.

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

if someone named an agency LOSS

They won't. Many big retail organizations have departments to make sure this will not happen...

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.

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm kinda surprised there's not a standard meme response to this meme by now - it itself being an older meme.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it further.

Unfortunately Doge the government thing would exist regardless of the dog

The cryptocurrency though, who knows

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Poor dog doesn't deserve this legacy.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yep, she was a good girl that definitely deserved better. Tasty treats? Yes. Becoming the face of Elon Musk's neo-fascist movement? No.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Neither does Homestar Runner

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Huh? I'm out of the loop on Homestar Runner legacy drama, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

What happened to Homestar Runner?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Holy shit, I had no idea it went that far back! Good jorb finding that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It was pretty easy, TBH (as I also pointed it out recently). It's right there on the knowyourmeme.com page.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, I have a strongly worded email to send to Mr Strongbad.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Even the coin deserves better than this.
