This guy has never heard of quantum ducks

[-] RagingHungryPanda@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

What you didn't know is that the universe is mostly ducks. Dark matter? More like duck matter!

Duck Tales? More like Everything Tales!

How crispy we talking?

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Is a single cell within a duck a duck or is it itself not a duck?

[-] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago
[-] dudinax@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Inclusive or gets them every time.

Is a picture of a duck a duck?

Is the life of a duck a duck?

Is your perception of a duck a duck?

[-] RoadieRich@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.

What about some sorta duck-goose hybrid?

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It depends on your definition of duck

[-] TheDankHold@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Makes sense to me

[-] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago
[-] Shard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Heretic! How dare you!?

What about a platypus? It could be considered part/half-duck. Or even duck-like!

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 5 points 1 year ago

Fewer than 5% of adult cats have a driver's license.

There's a linear algebra joke that can complement this one and goes like this:

Everything in the universe is either a duck or not a duck, but almost everything that is not a duck, if examined very closely or in really short time intervals, it behaves as a duck and you can apply duck methods to it.

Hey buddy, you ever here of a loon?

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

More like law of excluded middle amirite?

Mathematical constructivists hate this meme

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The fun thing about the existence of infinity is that there is an infinite number of possible points on the line between “duck” and “not duck”

[-] lemmington_steele@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

depends how you define duck; you can very much make it a binary. ultimately every term is just a construct

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You can make the term a binary, but binary doesn’t really exist in the real world. Your DNA is part duck just by nature of being a vertebrate.

[-] BA834024112@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Binary absolutely exists "in the real world".

Very strong Law of the Excluded Mallard vibes here.

Aren't you forgetting Goduck's Incompleteness Theorem?

[-] outer_spec@lemmy.studio 4 points 1 year ago

wrong. duck fetus

[-] downpunxx@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Schrödinger would like a word

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Just because we can't know if something is a duck or not, doesn't mean there are other possibilities.

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wait. Could Quantum ducks in a superposition state exist? And how would those be a duck or not?

Infinity is only a concept, nothing is infinite.

What about a fertilized but unhatched duck egg? That's kinda both a duck and not a duck.

I think you'd consider a roast duck a duck, but what about a duck drumstick? Would you say that's not a duck? If so, how much of the roast duck needs to be connected for it to be a duck?

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Since this is indeed a binary system, every part of "Duck" is also "Duck". So a duck salad is not duck, bit the meat in it is "duck".

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

What about the cells the form the wall around the heart of the duck? Is that a duck?

They are duck

Not individual ducks but a collective duck

Well when you put it that way...

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

If a duck was about to hit his head on something, how would you warn him?

"Hey duck!" ?

[-] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They are called ducks because they duck.

You may see a duck, but Stanley sees a bucket.

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Surely you mean a ducket?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Except muscovies. They are both duck and not duck.
