Dog rich
Main Post: Dog rich
Top Comment: If that's considered poor these days then I have no idea what I am. I'm turning 41 in a few weeks and I still have blue jeans and shirts from when I was in high school. None of my clothing items are in the hundreds of dollars range.
TIL that with a net worth of $500 million, German Shepherd, Gunther IV is the world's richest dog. He inherited his fortune from his father, Gunther III, the previous richest dog in the world.

Top Comment: Watch the documentary on netflix. The whole arrangement is basically a multinational tax dodge and money laundering scheme. The fact that it centers around a dog is one of the least weird things about this family. Edit: the documentary is called Gunther's Millions on netflix. It's a crazy ride.
Waterfall get-rich-quick-scheme more lucrative than Dog Residue-scheme
Main Post:
All of you should be familiar with the Dog Residue-strategy, but for those who aren't, here's the explanation:
When you play the leitmotif of "His Theme" on the Piano in Waterfall, you can gain access to the legendary artifact, only to have it absorbed by the Annoying Dog. You are then left with Dog Residue, which fills your inventory when used, with the occasional chance of receiving Dog Salads. When sold to Temmie, Dog Residue can get you from 1 to 4 G, and +1 or +3 G when negotiated, and Dog Salads can get you 8 G, and 9 or 13 G when negotiated. You get to negotiate with Temmie for every 8th attempt you make to sell to Temmie.
Since Dog Residue is reproducible via usage, it can be used as an infinite source of money, and you make ∞% gain proportional to how much you spend as you don't spend anything when acquiring the Dog Residue.
However, I'm here to tell you an even more lucrative way to make money with Temmie, and it involves Gerson and Alphys.
This is how it works: You visit Gerson at Waterfall in order to buy Cloudy Glasses, which you then sell to Temmie. I'll be referring to this as "pair of transactions".
Cloudy Glasses cost 30 G to buy, and 50 G to sell, meaning you will make 66% gain with every pair of transactions.
To fill your main inventory with Cloudy Glasses costs 240 G, and selling that to Temmie gives you 400 G, and considering that as you can carry 8 items in your main inventory and Temmie negotiates with you every 8th time, you get to negotiate with Temmie once for every inventory you sell to her, meaning you can add +15 to every inventory you sell.
This means that you can gain a total of 175 G for every inventory.
After having visited her laboratory, your phone should be upgraded with access to two Dimensional Boxes, A and B respectively. Since Dimensional Box A is the same box as the public boxes, we will only be using Dimensional Box B.
Now you can double your transactional revenue - you gain 350 G for every pair of transactions as you are carrying two inventories per transaction, negotiations included.
Although boxes have two extra slots to the main inventory, don't use them, and here's why:
After having filled your inventory twice (or thrice if you choose to empty and use Box A) with Cloudy Glasses, you would have to go for a third (or fourth) time in order to fill the extra slots, as well as empty the extra slots just to visit Temmie for a third (or fourth) time, and all of this is surprisingly time-consuming, so it's much more efficient not to use the extra slots and save the time.
The longer you take, the less you make.
This is especially true considering what you'd make with Dog Residue in an hour can be made with Cloudy Glasses in minutes.
Now, if you choose to get rid of all items you have in order to use Box A as well (or decide to put up to 4 items into the 4 extra slots you have), you will be using 24 slots in total, meaning you will be making 525 G for every pair of transactions.

On my first run of Undertale (in which I killed one single Migosp in the Ruins because he was asking for it but played the rest of the game like a Pacifist Run. However, since Undyne refused to open the door for me because I was a "murderer" in her mind for having killed one entity the entire game, it ended up being a Neutral Run...), I used this method to get myself 10000+ G to pay for Temmie's college tuition, buy the Temmie armor, and some Spider Cider at Muffet's Hotland Sale just to see what happens, as most games reward you in some form for getting enough money to buy something with a ridiculously high price tag - and what do ya know - I end up not having to fight Muffet because I donated so much to the good cause of helping the Spiders.
I'm still baffled as to how the cat ("Scared Donut Guy" on the Wiki) managed to pull up 9999 G out of his wallet when 500 G is already considered to be a lot by most, and why 9999 G wasn't enough to finance the Spiders. My guess is that the cat bought the donut at its original cheap price (the same as in the Ruins), and that Muffet jacked up the prices because she maybe thought she could get away with it as creeping people into buying her stuff would work regardless of the price. This is supported by the obvious fact that the cat, although traumatized by the threat and complaining about the donut itself, isn't complaining about the price, hinting that it couldn't have been that expensive.
By the way, looking up the article for G (Gold) on the Wiki, I've noticed that this exact scheme had already been written down there, but that didn't stop me from doing all of the math and writing a Reddit post about it, as I'm writing out of my own Undertale experience, so if you already knew all of this, you may view this as an appreciation thread for this brilliant scheme.

Rich peoples dogs
Main Post:
So, I'm out in Lake Oswego, OR. I have to work there 3x a week. Every time I go out there, I see an army of people drinking Starbucks while walking their dogs. Mind you, I work a low-paying blue collar job and literally have to pick up after the rich people for a living. Aside from my frustrations of seeing these happy go lucky social leaders (who are not at work during the weekdays like the rest of us), they always have some form of dog with them.
I saw something that honestly made me sad, questioning my own value and worth. I have a water jug, and am allowed to fill it up at water sources located outside the properties I do maintenance on (hose bib access usually). I don't mind, but the other day I saw a lady put a small dish down on the ground and open a new bottle of Fiji water. She filled it up for her dog to drink. This just so happened as I was grimacing from the coppery taste of the hose water.
The thought crossed my mind that this dog more tha likely has a higher position in society, as well as a much higher standard of living.
I apartment-crowd with other equally low-income adults, in a beat up mold infested POS. I eat what the fastest, cheapest food is out there - since I work way more than full time and am always on the go. I haven't seen the doctor in more than a decade due to poverty, etc.
I can imagine this dog...
Lives in a HOUSE.
Goes to the VET.
Eats nutritionally balanced MEALS.
Has a GENERALLY HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING
Maybe I'm delusional, but I can't help but feel worthless when I think about rich peoples family dogs, and how much of a loser I feel when I realize I'm jealous of their position.
(Edit): Wow, I didn't expect so many replies. You guys are so incredibly supportive and compassionate. Thank you all so much for your words of perspective. I feel a lot better. Sorry for the late reply and follow up. I am used to many of my posts going unnoticed.
Thanks again, you are the best
Top Comment: You're not delusional at all. I am disgusted by the massive waste of resources wasted on dogs. They do not need designer clothes, expensive bottled water, organic gourmet food or any of the unnecessary items the billion dollar pet industry relentlessly advertises. Those billions of dollars wasted on dogs who do nothing to advance society as a whole. I remember the days when Fido lived in the backyard, had water from the tap and chewed on an old bone. Those dogs did just fine. You're not a loser but a realist. The whole dogs over people is an unjust situation. You are doing everything you can to provide for yourself and for that you should be proud.

Fucking chutiyas bringing huskies in Indian heat. WTF is wrong with people?
rich people who don’t take care of their dogs....
Main Post:
just delivered to a $1.6 million house. they have two english bulldogs (one is an American mix). the boy/mix had some green snot, otherwise was fine. the girl bully... 💔. I could just hear all the fluid in her lungs as she’s huffing and puffing... her nose is crusted to shit with green snot... her wrinkles! 😭 completely BLACK. just crusted black shit overflowing out of them.
my point being... I would expect to find those dogs in a fucking gutter, not in a rich neighborhood. it took me 20 minutes to leave her house. she was outside smoking when I got there, then disappeared. (side note, I smoke too... but NEVER around my bulldog.. you just don’t fucking do that).... those dogs wanted to leave with me SO BAD. and in the process? scratched the living shit out of my car too.
I had to go find this woman to ask her to take her dogs inside so I could try to get out of her driveway without them jumping at my car. the scratches all over my 2 year old car, really fucking shitty... but I could care less about that compared to the piss poor state of health her dogs are in. specifically the girl. I even asked her how old they are, she just said “I dunno.. maybe like 3 and 5 at least”.... 😐
so I needed to rant that... I think I’m going to call the humane society? Just curious if anyone has any ideas of what else I could possibly do. It’s people like this who like the excuse “oh, english bulldogs have a lot of health problems”... well... no not really. they’re a high-maintenance dog, sure. but if you TAKE CARE OF THEM, they don’t have health problems. I’m just beyond disgusted right now.

Holy crap. I dont know how much can be done if they are being fed and not physically abused but I'd definitely submit a report.
Similar topic, I never actually saw the dogs because it was a "leave it at the door" person but I delivered several boxes of super cheap, garbage quality dog food to a literal mansion. I was a bit shocked and nervous to even be on the property with how secured it was. They had to buzz me in at the gate. But they cant feed their dogs proper food.
Rich people have small dogs as a sign of authority, whereas poor people have big dogs as a sign of security.
