These we're all important questions and raises an important follow up.

So about the same time the dog is coming back from dog heaven Deicide?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

I don't know how long it takes to kill the dog god.

!ROBO-PUPPY MISTREATMENT ALERT!

As a dad, I should really end my answers with "next question" more often.

I love the reference to the fan remake of Robocop, where he goes around shooting rapists in the dick.

EDIT: Also relevant, considering our "democratically elected leaders who refuse to advance American interests."

Boy, Doug didn't grow up to be very funny after all.

How much is the 6 million dollar dog, if we account for inflation

[–] Mozingo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

In dog dollars or human dollars?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The Six Million Dollar Man first aired in March, 1973.

The online inflation calculator says that's equivalent to $43,732,794.46 in December, 2024 dollars.

Now the question becomes does $1 human = $7 dog, or is it $1 dog = $7 human?

Don't feel bad. It's hard. Trying to figure out those mathematical translations is sure to give you a RUFF time.

[–] JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 days ago

I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it'd work out to be about the same.

[–] QueenFern@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

And is it the 7 to 1 ratio so often associated with dogs and humans?

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gotta be up there. Over 6 million at least if I had to guess.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Math checks out.

Before reading this my personal theology was based mostly on defending everyone's right to ask big questions and feel uniquely uncomfortable with all available answers.

After reading this, it's still that, but amended with a supernatural certainty that non-Abrahamic Dog God can be killed by Robo-Dog.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this the plot of Dog Man?
