Poor dog doesn't deserve this legacy.

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.
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.
I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it further.
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.
if someone named an agency LOSS
They won't. Many big retail organizations have departments to make sure this will not happen...
Tap for spoiler
Loss prevention
The problem is that this is not a joking matter. Gutting USAID suddenly has literally kills a TON of people.
Just wait until we get the agency for the Treasury, Housing, Economics, General Administration and Market Enforcement
Dammit...been years
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.
That's still too late. As a post yesterday pointed out. Doge is the result of Homestar Runner being somewhat illiterate.
If you would go back in time and not kill a fascist... What are you even doing!?
If the time travel rules are that you cannot change your present you return to, then it becomes tourism.
Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there'll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?
I cant believe I'd say this but, if you would kill baby hitler then poor doge too had it coming
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....
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.
Do you really want a constitution written by a bunch of slave-owning, warmongering aristocrats to be more specific?
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
And honestly the whole RAGE from Curtis Yarvin sounds a lot smarter and more marketable as a catchy phrase. Going with DOGE is just an edgelord move, but Musk is the best example of one I've ever seen. It drives me nuts that it seems like so few people actually think it's dumb in real life.
That's because they don't know where the name DOGE came from; all they think it means is "Department of Government Efficiency." If they knew it was from a meme of just a picture of a dog that started having people saying "dog" in a weird way, I'm sure they also would find it incredibly stupid.
It was just a funny way to say dog, kinda like the ermagerd gersburms meme. Then somebody started a cryptocurrency called "dogecoin" as a joke, but it actually started making people money, and then Elon Musk started using that to defraud his way into the eventual pseudopresidency.
22nd century history teachers are so fucking screwed trying to teach this shit.
If someone has a time machine, they can just make the world a better place by killing baby Adolf Hitler Thomas Malthus.
If yOu hAd a tImE MaChInE WhAt wOuLd yOu dO?
I'D ToTaLlY KiLl hItLeR BrAh
we're finding out that no one would do shit.
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.
The title is perfect for the post
