Well, this has never been more appropriate.

That doggy deserved better than to be associated forever with a scam economy.

i like that.
i would call it dōg (dOHg) until my brother corrected me.
still, damn shame Kabosu’s lovely likeness ever had the stink of a muskrat associated with her.

is it just me or is anyone else getting this Mandela effect-type feeling that this dog died last year?! :thinking: :grimacing:

Perhaps you read that Kabosu had leukemia and assumed that she would die soon.

Or perhaps you read about the statue of Kabosu and assumed that it was a memorial.

I didn’t bother clicking on any of the stories about her w/headlines which mentioned that crypto shite. Fuck that.

She was a Goddess Doge.

Dogecoin is crypto shit. The doge meme itself is not.

ETA: Neither of the articles I posted mentions Dogecoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Agreed.

ETA: I was only referring to stories I saw on Gogol news, not what you’d posted here. Sorry about the confusion tophat-cry
This has been a bad enough couple days w/o pissing off someone cool.
