Schrödinger's Duck
Came here to write this... Man you're good.
What you didn't know is that the universe is mostly ducks. Dark matter? More like duck matter!
Duck Tales? More like Everything Tales!
What about half a duck?
How crispy we talking?
- Hot Dog
- Not Hot Dog
Came here to make the same joke. Am not disappoint.
Is a single cell within a duck a duck or is it itself not a duck?
Yes.
Inclusive or gets them every time.

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.
Now this is science.
This is where the science begins
Is a picture of a duck a duck?
Is the life of a duck a duck?
Is your perception of a duck a duck?
Makes sense to me
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.
Platypus?
Heretic! How dare you!?
What about some sorta duck-goose hybrid?
It depends on your definition of duck
More like law of excluded middle amirite?
wrong. duck fetus
Schrödinger would like a word
Just because we can't know if something is a duck or not, doesn't mean there are other possibilities.
Fewer than 5% of adult cats have a driver's license.
Wait. Could Quantum ducks in a superposition state exist? And how would those be a duck or not?
This wouldnt work because if quantums are grouped together they lose their quantum properties. Thus a duck in a superposition can unfortunately not exist :)
Source? I'll continue to believe in my quantum super-duck until proven otherwise!

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

Hey buddy, you ever here of a loon?
Mathematical constructivists hate this meme
If a duck was about to hit his head on something, how would you warn him?
"Hey duck!" ?
They are called ducks because they duck.

Well when you put it that way...
You may see a duck, but Stanley sees a bucket.
Surely you mean a ducket?
no way
Except muscovies. They are both duck and not duck.
No way, a space duck!
Quack!
Oh, so that's what duck-typing means!
