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.

Then (and I cannot emphasize this enough) I'd waddle away.

Till the very next day?

It's been 84 years...

Put on a blue cap, blue nautical shirt; but, and I can't stress this enough, NO PANTS.

But for gods sake, wrap yourself in a towel after you shower.

Hand cover your crotch if someone walks in on you

Open a wine bottle, maybe? Put the corkscrew to use.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Bro, you see that duck over there? It stole my wine bottle"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Do you want it back? It's already open now." "You know what? I think I'll pass."

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.

Depends, am I a horse-sized duck? I might have some people to fight

Got any grapes?

Head downtown & act cute until a college girl adopts me as her pet. Duck-nuzzle some boobies.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would learn to fly and then fly to one of those parks where secret service agents meet. Become a spy and sell the intelligence I gather.

Check if my quack has an echo

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago
  • 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

I’d float around in the water as my body would now resemble a boat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Cover my feathers in wax like substance from my ass glands. Once I'm all waxed up I go for a swim.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I find someone with a corkscrew fetish.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I'd drop my phone.

Fly into the sunset.

Sunset

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would have an exploding corkscrew penis. I'll find ways to entertain myself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably make a poo on the floor.
Either mine or in the hallway (if I know how to open the door).

Probably open up my phone and pull up youtube to watch some duck documentaries. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be eating or what things out there are usually wanting to eat me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are some really good "I just woke up as a duck" tutorials on Coursera.

I’d head straight to Subway for my free sandwich!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I start wondering if I'm ugly.
