Is a single cell within a duck a duck or is it itself not a duck?
What about half a duck?
How crispy we talking?
What you didn't know is that the universe is mostly ducks. Dark matter? More like duck matter!
Duck Tales? More like Everything Tales!
platypus
Fewer than 5% of adult cats have a driver's license.
On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.
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.
Makes sense to me
Mathematical constructivists hate this meme
Platypus?
What about some sorta duck-goose hybrid?
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!
Schrödingers duck
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".
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”
Now this is science.
This is where the science begins
What about a platypus? It could be considered part/half-duck. Or even duck-like!
wrong. duck fetus
More like law of excluded middle amirite?
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.

everything is a bucket
My goodness, is it 4:30? I'm supposed to be having a back, sack and crack.
Very strong Law of the Excluded Mallard vibes here.
Aren't you forgetting Goduck's Incompleteness Theorem?
Except muscovies. They are both duck and not duck.
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.
Hey buddy, you ever here of a loon?
No way, a space duck!
Quack!
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 they are not a duck, they are the cells of a duck.
Well when you put it that way...
Ducking A!
What about the duck-non-duck hybrids ?
You may see a duck, but Stanley sees a bucket.
Surely you mean a ducket?
no way
Ok Howard...
Oh, so that's what duck-typing means!
