Good God, we really will use anything but the metric system.
500 kilodollars
Or 488.28 kibidollars.
Lmao
Approximately $1139.32 per poodle
My math says $1201.92
They said approximately.
Unfortunately it seems they thought that there were 438.9 poodles
I wanna see that movie.
Wow, didn’t know poodles were that expensive.
I’d just get a street dog, costs nothing and will be your best friend ☺️.
No street dogs where I live. Suppose I’ll have to get a pet deer instead
maybe try getting adopted by a street cat then
Where do you live? I live in the country but still get people who drive out here to drop of strays sometimes.
That could support 10 lemmy devs!
For 5 years?
For 1 year unfortunately, it would support 3 lemmy devs for 3.33 years
5×1=5 ≠ 3×3⅓=10
Software engineers make buku bucks
I was going to correct you, but after doing a web search, it appears that “buku” is an alternative spelling of “beaucoup.” Neat!
I was also going to correct. Thanks for doing the work!
If only there was some way she could have seen that coming.
The psychics certainly saw that coming.
Eww… don’t buy animals, adopt.
You do still have to pay for them though.
The elites don’t want you to know this but the dogs at the park are free you can take them home I have 416 dogs.
If you don’t know it already, please listen to I Steal Pets by Rachel Bloom.
Generally, you pay things like the cost of spaying or neutering and vaccines. We paid $150 when we adopted our last dog to cover those costs. $150 is a hell of a lot less than over $1000.
And food and taxes and going to a doc when they get ill and make vaccations more expensive
My local shelter has free adoptions. Everyone returned the dogs they bought during COVID, so they just need to get rid of them as fast as possible from the shelters.
Adoption isn’t free tho…
Yes generally, but adopted animals can absolutely have challenging behavoural issues that not everyone is suited to deal with. It depends on your situation I think but absolutely more people should adopt.
Sure, if you buy purebreds with documentation or something, JFC. Anyone willing to pay $12,000 for one dog needs to be taxed harder.
It would be $1,200 though
The only reason to pay that much is if you’re planning on starting breeding yourself.
If you breed yourself you’re going to spend a hell of a lot more than $1,200. Especially if you plan on sending them to college.
I guess you just don’t love dogs enough.
If you loved dogs you wouldn’t be buying purebreds.
If your dog doesn’t look like a Spanish Habsburg I don’t want it.
Clearly. Maybe across it’s lifetime I’d spend that but not on the adoption papers
I suppose that’s an argument from someone who thinks a poodle is replacement for therapy.
What’s that in metric?
432 metric poodles
158 french bulldogs
still need banana for scale
If you prefer, $500,000 can get you 5 1993 AMERTEK 4000L tanker
