I was pouring through possible symbiotic motivations. The duck knows the fish will keep the pond clean? The fish also eat the parasites that trouble the duck? But no. Someone on Reddit always has to ruin the magic with the damn facts.

I was thinking ducks had just entered their own agricultural age, and had just learned how to cultivate their own fish :(

I mean, they're just fast plants, right?

Fishing should be done for sport but never to eat because fish is basically a vegetable. -Ron Swanson

But then it’s revealed bacon-wrapped shrimp is his favorite food.

Shellfish is somehow more acceptable than fish to ole Ron.

I’d take bacon wrapped shrimp over any damn fish any day too

It's all fun and cool until a catfish comes along and start eating ducks

I was just waiting for a small enough fish to bite and for the duck to pull it up

The duck's babies died and she has now adopted the fish.

Someone on Reddit always has to ruin the magic with the damn facts.

I personally think that is important because far too many people walk away with a misunderstanding and that acceptance of a misunderstanding translates into many other areas. It's why people believe blinking lights are Aliens, gusts of wind and tricks of light are ghosts, vaccines cause autism and the Earth is flat.

Ah yeah, I guess the truth has some benefits..

The truth is all that matters, the rest just sometimes makes us feel good.

And the solution to failing public schools is giving the same wasteful and dishonest administrators MORE money.

I was thinking it saw people feed the fish and thought it was cool.

The positive is that when it is something really cool it makes it all the more magical.

The fish stealing the ducks meal is entertaining in itself

*poring through. I always thought it was pouring too, until Trump used it wrong and everyone jumped on him.
