You are now a duck, what do you do first??

You are still you, you can speak human language that you already know, and you know how to speak duck.

You have to learn how to be a duck. This means you gotta learn how to fly, hunt food, etc.

I’d walk to a lemonade stand to see if they had any grapes.

smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 2y

Pick one person at a time and speak to them in human language. In some cases it will be to give them a special magical friend, in other cases it will be to cause them to question their sanity.

Then I'd get to seeing about this whole corkscrew dick thing.

Lea Thompson For those who are unfamiliar, let me introduce you to Howard the Duck (really the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Does Howard have a duck dick or a human dick

Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Is that Duckdo? Or are they both ducks...

ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Lea Thompson is not a duck.

Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Yeah, okay but neither is that duck.

I don't know what a Duckdo is. That's Howard the duck.

  • explain the whole thing to my partner and ask them to protect me.

Failing that:

  • carefully waddle to where I know people feed ducks

  • practice flying and copy other ducks

  • ask other ducks for tips

Probably contacting some media outlets to try and monetize my talking-duck status, and wondering if if my life expectancy is on par with duck or human.

Do you want to end up being dissected in a government lab? Because that's how you get dissected in a government lab.

Avoid the ones on Wiki How, they are repurposed courses originally intended for people who woke up as a chicken.
