Poor dog doesn't deserve this legacy.
Neither does Homestar Runner
What happened to Homestar Runner?
His spelling started this
Holy shit, I had no idea it went that far back! Good jorb finding that.
Well, I have a strongly worded email to send to Mr Strongbad.
It was pretty easy, TBH (as I also pointed it out recently). It's right there on the knowyourmeme.com page.
Even the coin deserves better than this.
Huh? I'm out of the loop on Homestar Runner legacy drama, apparently.
Yep, she was a good girl that definitely deserved better. Tasty treats? Yes. Becoming the face of Elon Musk's neo-fascist movement? No.
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.
It seems this meme has avoided detection by referencing the old age of the meme to which it's posted in response. But with what could we respond to it? The same meme? Wouldn't that start a recursive loop? More research is required...

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

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

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