Hopefully I will do something more creative than this.

However this is a link to the latest Duolingo ... Not sure what to call it -

But it is humorous and promoted by Duolingo - in Duolingo "humor" :

Lawyer Fights Duolingo Owl for $2,700,000 :

Best April fool this 2023 year would be to tell their users that they can pay their old tree Home design or 2016/17 Web theme (old adult design) back with a SuperPlusBronceSilverGoldPlatinum membership or that they have integrated most useful Tampermonkey userscripts from the script gods (or at least using more compatible html/js code from the old www-internal to make Camilo's TreeEnhancer userscript work again)

Or will we maybe see an unlimited LIFETIME membership offering as a joke?

Unavailable by links in my far south region of Australia, but that -

perhaps more so .... as it is now well over 2 weeks in the past,

And for perhaps for my amusement of recording things, ....

This is the 2023 morsel from the shattered marketing and community engagement of Duolingo I share :

Love Language is a new reality dating show from Peacock and Duolingo where the hottest singles in the world will share a house in paradise in hopes of finding true love.

The catch? None of them speak the same language.

https://www.peacocktv.com/unavailable

Peacock is spreading its wings worldwide.
Enjoy bingeworthy Originals and a huge catalogue of hit TV series and blockbuster films. Now available at no extra cost to Sky and NOW subscribers in the following locations:

UK and Ireland
Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
Italy

For other international audiences:
Peacock is not yet available in your territory.

For US customers:
Your device must physically be located in the US to stream.

take this for what you might.

After reading what I have seen of this "advertising" by Duolingo in 2023,
One part of my little mind - says .....

Don't look up.
Don't look up.

This is where we at.
beyond creepy stuff.
Very narrow minded and scarry stuff.

. , .

And another little part of my little mind says,

We are amazing.
We have been amazing.

There is so many ways we as humanity can still be amazing.

Not just in honor of our past.

More importantly in the duty of our future.

There are amazing things - that we as a community have been.
And also that we could be.

With part of that - how we choose to engage as a community,
One willing to make our present better - for the potential of the future for us all.
I hope someone out there may respond to this hope.
