Hold my rubber ducky, you're the one

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM,

IT MATTERS THAT THEY ARE HERE.

AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I hope that they will exist for a long time

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Look, where do you expect me to put my giant inflatable ducks?

[–] NedK@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Put them on my bill.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Where your giant inflatable doll wants them.

[–] DepthCharge@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

From China, probably

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, you see, when mother giant inflatable duck and father giant inflatable duck love each other very much...

What?

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

I suspect reddit's /u/fuckswithducks is involved

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We don't know where do they come from but do we know where are they going?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Where do they come from, rubber duck Joe?

Doesn't Toronto and other Canadian cities do this? Did they have ducklings?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I think they came from Canada. I mean they keep exporting their damn geese to us too.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

They come from rubber eggs, obviously.

[–] NedK@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

How do you become a famous New Zealand athelete?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe it was James Veitch again...

There was only one iirc, but nature finds a way

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like the work of Florentijn Hofman.

[–] spiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How does one pull off a feat like this?

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Someone's job was to blow...

I mean it's Maine in a harbor in a small-mid sized town for Maine. You sneak out at night and if you're even close to stealthy and past last call it's pretty easy.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which came first: the duck or the egg?

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think it all started with goose egg.

[–] ares35@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

the friendly floatees are all grown up!

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh no, this again. Didn't some one murder the last giant rubber duck that escaped captivity?

[–] TheTango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That death remains unsolved.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I was taking a bath and they got away from me.

[–] Pat12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
