Good God, we really will use anything but the metric system.

Or 488.28 kibidollars.

Approximately $1139.32 per poodle

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

They said approximately.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it seems they thought that there were 438.9 poodles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I wanna see that movie.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you spend that money on a poodle when you could use it for a psychic?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about a psychic poodle?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, didn't know poodles were that expensive.

I'd just get a street dog, costs nothing and will be your best friend ☺️.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No street dogs where I live. Suppose I'll have to get a pet deer instead

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

maybe try getting adopted by a street cat then

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Where do you live? I live in the country but still get people who drive out here to drop of strays sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That could support 10 lemmy devs!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For 1 year unfortunately, it would support 3 lemmy devs for 3.33 years

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

5×1=5 ≠ 3×3⅓=10

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Software engineers make buku bucks

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

I was going to correct you, but after doing a web search, it appears that "buku" is an alternative spelling of "beaucoup." Neat!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was also going to correct. Thanks for doing the work!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If only there was some way she could have seen that coming.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The psychics certainly saw that coming.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Sure, if you buy purebreds with documentation or something, JFC. Anyone willing to pay $12,000 for one dog needs to be taxed harder.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

It would be $1,200 though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only reason to pay that much is if you're planning on starting breeding yourself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

If you breed yourself you're going to spend a hell of a lot more than $1,200. Especially if you plan on sending them to college.

Eww.. don’t buy animals, adopt.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You do still have to pay for them though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The elites don’t want you to know this but the dogs at the park are free you can take them home I have 416 dogs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you don't know it already, please listen to I Steal Pets by Rachel Bloom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Generally, you pay things like the cost of spaying or neutering and vaccines. We paid $150 when we adopted our last dog to cover those costs. $150 is a hell of a lot less than over $1000.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And food and taxes and going to a doc when they get ill and make vaccations more expensive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My local shelter has free adoptions. Everyone returned the dogs they bought during COVID, so they just need to get rid of them as fast as possible from the shelters.

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

Yes generally, but adopted animals can absolutely have challenging behavoural issues that not everyone is suited to deal with. It depends on your situation I think but absolutely more people should adopt.

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

Adoption isn't free tho.....

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I suppose that’s an argument from someone who thinks a poodle is replacement for therapy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

432 metric poodles

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

158 french bulldogs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

still need banana for scale

If you prefer, $500,000 can get you 5 1993 AMERTEK 4000L tanker
