IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM,

IT MATTERS THAT THEY ARE HERE.

AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

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

NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Where your giant inflatable doll wants them.

NedK@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Put them on my bill.

From China, probably

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

What?

Natanael@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 2y

I suspect reddit's /u/fuckswithducks is involved

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

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

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

Etterra@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

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

MxM111@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

They come from rubber eggs, obviously.

There was only one iirc, but nature finds a way

Alexstarfire@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

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

Looks like the work of Florentijn Hofman.

ares35@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

the friendly floatees are all grown up!

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

TheTango@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That death remains unsolved.

How does one pull off a feat like this?

NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Someone's job was to blow...

ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Which came first: the duck or the egg?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I think it all started with goose egg.

I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

The drake.

Pat12@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
