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.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

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

Till the very next day?

[-] Therealmglitch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

It's been 84 years...

[-] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Therealmglitch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Susaga@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 year ago

"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.

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

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

[-] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Got any grapes?

[-] souperk@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] livus@kbin.social 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

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 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.

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I find someone with a corkscrew fetish.

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

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I'd drop my phone.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Fly into the sunset.

Sunset

[-] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 7 points 1 year ago

Betray my country.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 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.

[-] Damaskox@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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!
