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.

The problem is that this is not a joking matter. Gutting USAID suddenly has literally kills a TON of people.

So like, 10 average Americans?

/S

Well, not technically sarcasm, that is quite literally the number roof average american males it would take to weight a ton.

Americans average 100kg? I figured it'd be at least in the 90s

[–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Im seeing roughly 90kg for males little under or a little over depending on source.
