Duolingo Owl Death Announcement

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that Duo, formally known as The Duolingo Owl, is dead. Authorities are currently investigating his cause of death and we are cooperating fully. Tbh, he probably died waiting for you to do your lesson, but what do we know. We’re aware he had many enemies, but we kindly ask that you refrain from sharing why you hate him in the comments. If you feel inclined to share, please also include your credit card number so we can automatically sign you up for Duolingo Max in his memory. We appreciate you respecting Dua Lipa’s privacy at this time.

A black-background parody obituary announces that Duo, the Duolingo owl mascot, is dead. The joke references Duolingo’s threatening reminders and subscription marketing, sarcastically blaming users for ignoring their lessons and asking for credit card numbers to sign them up for Duolingo Max. It is used as an absurd reaction to Duolingo’s aggressive notifications or to joke about the mascot’s many enemies.
