I am going to forward this to my kids. They actually like the stupid app and have free access from school.

It's alright for initial language learning and helps establish daily practice and some structure.

OK, honestly the Playstation UK and Monster Hunter one are well done.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I don't get it

Duolingo is a language learning app with an Owl mascot. It's infamous for sending constant annoying reminders when you skip it's daily lessons. So the app, and owl, have garnered a legion of haters. These posts are celebrating the death of the mascot.

As far as the joke behind the original "our owl is dead" post from Duolingo... I'm not sure.

Considering the timing, It may be a play on the 'Mr. Peanut is dead' Super Bowl ad from a few years ago.

This was funny at first but feels orchestrated/astroturfed.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Cringe as fuck, embarrassing reddit humor.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I laughed at the Monster Hunter one.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Duolingo's social stuff is actually pretty funny, but this feels very tryhard.
