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
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
  
  Software engineers make buku bucks
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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  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?
If you prefer, $500,000 can get you 5 1993 AMERTEK 4000L tanker
