If we're slowly taking Pepe back we can do the same with Doge.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Wait what happened to pepe? What are we taking it back from? (I'm an avid pepe user)

4chan and their offshoot nazi spaces. It's not entirely apropriated by them but it's incredibly popular, there were shitholes like r/frenworld which sit all day and made fascist dogwhistles with pepe and clowns (and clown pepes).

Oh I remember that but I thought that was like in 2017 or something.

Yeah they are still on it, just 3 day ago i encountered one of them here on lemmy, and i'm not even active here.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That is unfortunate.

There's a documentary about it from 2020 that is quite the watch.

If it makes you feel any better, that dumb crypto was developed as satire, and the creator has some pretty based takes on the matter.

Sad times

Sad news, but isn't the Doge in the picture Kabosu rather than Balltze?

[-] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Kabosu is the original doge ("very wow," etc.)

Cheems came with dogelore later on

Edit: Wait, that is Kabosu in the picture wtf

If the text is accurate, “falling asleep” is probably more humane than chemo would have been, anyway.

My sympathies to all who loved him.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I can say from experience, it's always a hard decision

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah this one's the bonk dog, not the wow doge

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The more I think about it, it's somehow an even more appropriate tribute to Cheems that it's not even him in the picture

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Correct. Use of Doge in the pic is from meme creator being stupid.

My Shiba crossed the bridge two years ago at age fifteen.

There are not many dog breeds that are more difficult and there are not many dog breeds that are more rewarding.

I still miss him daily.

Disclaimer: While he did happen to be a purebred Shiba Inu, I got him at the SPCA and didn't know shibas were even a thing at the time. I only learned that at the first vet visit.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago
