What?!? Impossible. Spider with balls.

Someone didn't assemble him correctly

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Dög in Swedish means "sufficed" or "good enough", so while the assembly might not be correct, it's good enough.

I was wondering if it will mean something in some other language. Mission accomplished!

Nice! One learns something new every day.

For the linguistics nerds, "dög" is past tense of "duga."
Det får duga - It will have to do.
Det duger - It is good enough.
Det dög - It was sufficient.

Definitely beats Hungarian dög (carrion/carcass).

They put the balls in the right spot at least

@Sanctus @CheeryLBottom
Just this reply showed up in my feed I was like "OK I got to see what this is relating to"

This is what happens if you use WinRar without a licence :)

Sometimes you just need a little air cooling and aren't too picky about how you get it.

Where the heck is its head? 😳

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There is no head… only balls. (Just kidding, it’s under the front legs if you look carefully)

[-] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

What? How? What happened to his neck? O_o

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Noodlefied.

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Some assembly required.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Please spay and neuter your pets.

I've never had a dog but I would assume it's not so relevant with them since they go out only on a leash, right?
