And to think, 50 years ago scientists had no idea there were ducks on Jupiter.

Better yet, 24 billion pound ducks that are each about 4,000 miles long. And no, I didn't do the math for the size of the corkscrew genitalia.

Looks real to me, but I wasn't there when the ducks were named

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] notreallyhere@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

oh that makes a lot of sense

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago

Woah, what will they think of next?

(Off the top of my head, I would surmise Saturn.)
