A beloved icon just died.
On February 11th, the beloved owl Duolingo unexpectedly died. Source is still unknown.
On the inside
A direct quote about Duo’s death from Lui Von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Duolingo(otherwise known as “Duo’s daddy”) states that:“On behalf of friends, family and Dua Lipa, I guess Duo finally answered the question he posted to so many of us, Spanish or vanish. It’s hard to believe that last week I was speaking to Lily right before she ended the video call. She told me he was OK.” This shows how much the team cared about Duo and how much they want to move on, but his death is just too impactful.
The team
The Duolingo team is keeping everybody posted and cooperating fully with the authorities so we can get to the bottom of this tragedy as quickly as possible. Their main suspicions are that Duo died waiting for somebody to do their lessons or was hit by a tesla cyber truck, but that is only what we know so far.
The headlines
Duo's tragic death is making it in the headlines, with numerous brands coming out to help the Duolingo team in such a harsh time. CBS has taken the responsibility of broadcasting this announcement and to all we know it has been successful.
There is more…
Latest news suggests that someday is out there targeting Duolingo because, just this morning, the other mascots of Duolingo-Falstaff, Lily and Zari- have all been found dead. What monster would do such a thing? It is one to kill Duo,but to kill his whole team? Unacceptable!
Merch
In honor of the death of Duolingo and the rest of the mascots, the team has changed their logo to dead Duolingo and has come up with new merch such as dead Lily or dead Falstaffdeleted,but never forgotten. This shows how much they cared about him and his friendsand that they will continue honoring his legacy by staying strong. That is what Duo would have wanted.
Conclusion
Overall, this beloved mascot's death has impacted all of us dearly and will continue to, but until further notice all we can do is stay strong and keep our streaks(no streak freezes) for Duo.
