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?
Is a single cell within a duck a duck or is it itself not a duck?
Yes.
Inclusive or gets them every time.
platypus
Is a picture of a duck a duck?
Is the life of a duck a duck?
Is your perception of a duck a duck?
On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.
What about some sorta duck-goose hybrid?
It depends on your definition of duck
Makes sense to me
What about a platypus? It could be considered part/half-duck. Or even duck-like!
Platypus?
Heretic! How dare you!?
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.
Fewer than 5% of adult cats have a driver's license.
More like law of excluded middle amirite?
Mathematical constructivists hate this meme
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

Very strong Law of the Excluded Mallard vibes here.
Aren't you forgetting Goduck's Incompleteness Theorem?
Hey buddy, you ever here of a loon?
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.
wrong. duck fetus
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!
There is no definite proof, there is also no definite proof that a quantum can even be in a superposition at all (in the sense od being in two states at once) becuae we cannot observe it. Physicist Niels Bohr for example believes that the outcome is already set long before we observe it.

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?

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".
Well when you put it that way...
Except muscovies. They are both duck and not duck.
You may see a duck, but Stanley sees a bucket.
Surely you mean a ducket?
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

no way
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.
