These we're all important questions and raises an important follow up.

So about the same time the dog is coming back from dog heaven Deicide?

As a dad, I should really end my answers with "next question" more often.

I love the reference to the fan remake of Robocop, where he goes around shooting rapists in the dick.

EDIT: Also relevant, considering our "democratically elected leaders who refuse to advance American interests."

How much is the 6 million dollar dog, if we account for inflation

[–] Mozingo 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In dog dollars or human dollars?

[–] GraniteM 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The Six Million Dollar Man first aired in March, 1973.

The online inflation calculator says that's equivalent to $43,732,794.46 in December, 2024 dollars.

Now the question becomes does $1 human = $7 dog, or is it $1 dog = $7 human?

Don't feel bad. It's hard. Trying to figure out those mathematical translations is sure to give you a RUFF time.

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

I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it'd work out to be about the same.

And is it the 7 to 1 ratio so often associated with dogs and humans?

[–] ggppjj 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gotta be up there. Over 6 million at least if I had to guess.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 7 points 1 month ago

Math checks out.

Before reading this my personal theology was based mostly on defending everyone's right to ask big questions and feel uniquely uncomfortable with all available answers.

After reading this, it's still that, but amended with a supernatural certainty that non-Abrahamic Dog God can be killed by Robo-Dog.
