The Duck-sein: An Ontological Inquiry into the Anatidaean Mode of Being
The Duck-sein: An Ontological Inquiry into the Anatidaean Mode of Being

Dr. Heinrich Schnabelmann

This paper proposes a fundamental reexamination of Heideggerian ontology through the lens of anatidaean existence. We argue that ducks, in their peculiar mode of being—what we term “Duck-sein”—manifest a unique relationship to temporality and finitude that transcends the human Dasein’s being-toward-death. Through rigorous phenomenological analysis, we demonstrate how ducks exist in a state of perpetual Duck-sein, a mode of being that reveals profound insights about authenticity, temporality, and the very structure of existence itself.

An Overview of Common Duck Behaviours
An Overview of Common Duck Behaviours

Bismarck

This research paper provides a basic overview of common duck behaviours observed in various species. The primary focus is on typical activities such as feeding, swimming, preening, and quacking. This study aims to document these behaviours in a straightforward manner without delving into complex behavioural nuances.

Penguins: The Evolutionary Consequence of Maxing Out the Duck Slider

Cornelius Quackington, Ph.D

This paper presents compelling evidence for a novel taxonomic theory: penguins (Sphenisciformes) represent the evolutionary outcome of “overdoing it” with duck attributes (Anatidae). Through comparative behavioral, morphological, and evolutionary analysis, we demonstrate that penguins embody the extreme manifestation of duck-like characteristics pushed beyond reasonable limits. We introduce the “Duck Attribute Slider” model of evolution, whereby species can be classified according to their position on a spectrum of “duckness.” Our findings suggest that while conventional ducks occupy the 80-100% range of this spectrum, penguins represent the result of artificially maximizing the duck parameter beyond its intended constraints, resulting in an evolutionary caricature that simultaneously amplifies and distorts essential duck qualities. This research provides thought-provoking framework for understanding avian evolution through the lens of attribute maximization.
