Well, that sucks. Whether you've got a new vacuum to show off, a big loss to mourn, or simply encounter an inconvenience, put it here.

Seems they changed the logo

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 9 points 8 hours ago

Gross, AI gen artwork

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago

You can just smell the AI

I hate that this meme and dog has become associated with crypto, Elon Musk and Republicans.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 49 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 24 points 9 hours ago

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

We've come a long way since dogetipbot :( those were good times

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Heh. I found a comment that someone tipped me with that long long ago. It was worth less than half a cent at the time.

Still had it. Sold for $90 iirc a couple years back. Only crypto profit I ever had lol

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Bro I don't even want to think about how much I had sitting on a wallet that's now in a landfill

[–] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, someone tipped me, too - worth $150 or so now. I accepted the tip back then, but the address linked looks empty. Can't figure out how I'd get access to the wallet anyhow. Oh well.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 9 hours ago

I was lucky and had transferred it to a wallet I had backed up in my personal cloud storage

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[–] __nobodynowhere@lemm.ee 14 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions!

Just the inevitable transition from the corporate oligarchy of late stage capitalism, to state-capitalist fascist dictatorship.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 hours ago

Not quite, Capitalism has long since turned to its Imperialist phase, but this is the long and drawn out death of the system. The US has been fascist for a long while.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 68 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

I think musk is getting off on the new throne from which to infuriate the wokerati. He's trolling. I suspect that this won't rate a blip on the list of shitte things this dept does.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 27 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (4 children)

I’m planning on bringing this department up for discussion any time I talk with a ‘true conservative’ Republican.

Please explain how the best way to improve government efficiency is to establish and staff a new department and give it two leaders.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 10 hours ago

I mean the whole thing is stupid but your question isn't very hard to answer for them.

"DOGE will cut out more money and bureaucracy than it creates"

And it may well! But what they're gonna cut is the shit that's actually good for people...

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I forgot the name, but supposedly there's a department that essentially already exists that serves this function so it's extra stupid.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)
[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It’s like an absurdity onion.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Department of Redundancy Department

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah but how else are you supposed to ingratiate yourself with your base if you can’t make a joke with the acronym? /s

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 9 points 13 hours ago

Apparently Ramaswamy is bailing on DOGE to run for governor in Ohio, leaving Eldolf Muskler all by himself (which I'm not sure what's worse).

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Graeber is rotating in his grave like a beyblade

[–] karashta@lemm.ee 34 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Trump government. In no way shape or form is that a US government thing

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 25 minutes ago

America wanted this, you can say what you want but America wanted this. They voted him into power twice.

He won by far, and got the popular vote.

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 10 hours ago

It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the "Go to home page" button might have been still Spanish and read "Vete a casa"

I dunno if it's intentional or true but it would've been very on the fucking nose.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 8 points 11 hours ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[–] gex@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Now its a 404

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not that I don't believe you, but I checked archive.org and unfortunately it's not there so hopefully you screen capped it. For me right now it just gives a 404

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately not, I'll try and find a source for it

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 12 hours ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago

The level of cringe, I don't know if the world can handle it.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 13 hours ago

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 16 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

How did they get this approved

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 41 points 14 hours ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 13 hours ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So ironic. The site does nothing. There's nothing to click on. or any plans/goals. I don't get the joke.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

The efficiency is in being an ad for dogecoin on a site paid for by taxpayers!
