  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.

  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

What?!? Impossible. Spider with balls.

Someone didn't assemble him correctly

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

Some assembly required.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where the heck is its head? 😳

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? How? What happened to his neck? O_o

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Noodlefied.

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?
