The ducks at the park are free. Like you can just take them.

I had a conversation with ChatGPT on that subject. It could not stress enough how terrible it would be for the duck if I brought it home with me, and that was despite me informing the AI that the duck in question was special, that it could talk and had specifically requested to come home with me.

This is not true. There are a litany of laws that capturing a wild duck from a public park would be a violation of, so don't do it.

[-] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 29 points 11 months ago

Would that be "bird law"?

[-] halloween_spookster@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

How can birds have laws if they aren't real?

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 5 points 11 months ago

They are 'real' in the sense that they exists. They are not 'real' in the sense they are not alive. The birds can all be drones and still have laws.

Do not listen to Optimus, he is lying. The ducks are free.

[-] Zippy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

This is completely not true but don't listen to me. In never tell the truth.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like poaching

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 18 points 11 months ago

If you abduct them (pun intended), they're no longer free.

[-] kennismigrant@feddit.nl 13 points 11 months ago

This depends on your location. In many countries the ducks at the park are way more expensive than the ones you can get at the grocery.

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Are ducks sold in grocery stores?

[-] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Well, not alive ones.

[-] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'd like to know this as well. What place sells ducks at the grocer's?..

[-] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Which country?

[-] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Have you tried?

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but do the ducks like it?
