When you get your duck friend, you're supposed to whisper a cool name into their ear, and they'll be yours forever. I went with the name Foucault, after the creator of the Foucault Pendulum (Léon Foucault). A simple and elegant way to not only showcase the Earth's rotation, but also your approximate latitudinal location too (because the time it takes to complete a full rotation is influenced by your distance from the poles).

Anyway, science stuff aside my duck friend is incredibly soft, and has little beans in the bottom half so they can sit upright without having to balance them! I love giving them hugs and seeing them every day when I get back from work. Being that they are a tall and thin duck, I find them pretty difficult to photograph. Hopefully this side shot of them laying in bed is enough to showcase their cuteness!

Ah, Léon Foucault. I thought Michel Foucault and was going to say, "This bed is like a prison" lmao

Very cute ducky, and the beans are very precious. Pls give them lots of hugs <3

My! I love that channel, I can send a lot of time there, it's just addictive. Science is wonderful 😀

[-] Foxfire@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's a very nice channel, I always wanted a duck and some time last year I finally just went and got one. Now if I watch a video I sit them with me to watch alongside!

Aww I love Kuzkazart! Hopefully you treat them better than they treat the original one lool

Don't worry, I've yet to turn them inside out, blow up their home world, or make them explode! I've basically just given them hugs and headpats, and said nice things to them!

Cute plush! If I had the room I would've bought more from Kurzgesagt, the plushes are really high quality. I do have their bacteriophage plush sitting on my shelf though, I love it so much. Very fluffy for a deadly killer.
