This is neat.

Here's a list of those mentioned here and some I've discovered.

What others exist?

Moby dick, Mario, Luigi, Link, Podman, Totoro, Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto, Akita Neru, Sherlock Holmes, Gollum, Yoshi, Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach

The style is weirdly not consistent

[–] folekaule@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Quite a few as it turns out.

Edit: of course someone created this: DaxDucDex

I'm a little disappointed that I found in Wikipedia it was AI generated:

Throughout 2025, DuckDuckGo rolled out a series of Easter eggs featuring AI-generated images of Dax (DuckDuckGo's duck mascot) dressed up as characters from popular culture (or on 2 occasions replaced by them) when users search for the respective characters. There are currently 661 discovered pop culture logo variants.[64]

Holy crap!

Honestly, I could have done without the 67 one, though...

Edit. A few more I've found that I didn't see on the linked page. Neo, R2D2, Yoda, Pacman, Morpheus. I'm sure there are more.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Eh the 67 doesn't hurt anyone. Stupid meme, sure, but it's not like we didn't have stupid memes 20 years ago. In this instance the lack of meaning is part of the humour.

Call me when they get The Flaming DuckduckCarrot lol.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

these were all confirmed to be AI generated. dont get too hyped. No one was paid to make this art.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My enjoyment of things is not dependent on some financial transaction happening in the background.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My enjoyment of things is dependent on whether or not it was made responsibly. Using AI to create art instead of actually paying someone to do something and strengthening the economy is irresponsible.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about all of the other free art out there? People making their own profile pics or just sharing ones for others to use, is that irresponsible art because it does dick all to strengthen the economy?

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Whatabout-ism is a great fallacy.

People creating for themselves has nothing to do with a corporation utilizing non-consentual work to train AI data models which lead to the unemployment of artists who are put out of business for not being able to put up the same pace as the bullshit machine. Short term gains mean nothing if you're fucking everyone in the long term. It's irresponsible to harvest from a farm without replanting the equivalent of what you took.

your point falls apart when you stop with the black and white bullshit thinking.

Are they? Saw them for Linux and gnu too, they don't seem ai generated

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Bruh, sad. Can't wait for ladybug

[–] MrErr@piefed.world 42 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Unbelievable. I tried it and it is true!

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

This brings me copious amounts of joy

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Duck duck goose → Duck duck goosed

Duck duck go → Duck duck ghost o_0

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Also works with smurfs and Donald duck

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

I wonder if they have one for Candlejack. Oh NO he's-

TIL that ducks lay easter eggs :D

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does DuckDuckGo have reverse image search? Is it called DuckDuckCome?

DuckDuckCome is not what you think it is.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Try Hatsune Miku btw

[–] vogi@piefed.social 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

The other day i have noticed a similar easter egg when typing in “podman”. It’s interesting as podman is fairly niche.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It also works for Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto. It didn't use to work for Akita Neru but looks like they added that after people pointed out they forgot her lol.

Now I will spend the rest of my life looking for more hidden logos.

[–] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 11 points 2 days ago

"Duck Duck Go Moby Dick" sounds a lot like "Go Go Gadget Moby..." well, guess I'll have to leave that incomplete now

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Duckduckwent...

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago
