Kathleen Joyce – Friday

It’s all for a good cause!
It’s a common sight to see ducks happily swimming and floating down a river. However, that’s referring to live ducks. It’s much less common to see a RUBBER duck floating down the river…much less 60,000 of them!

This sight might be a bit more familiar to you if you live in Chicago, though. Every year, tens of thousands of rubber ducks are dumped straight into the Chicago River as part of the Chicago Duck Derby. TikTok user @foodbychicago captured the start of this year’s derby on video. The sight of them being dumped from the back of a truck makes it look like a yellow waterfall!

That’s a pretty cool sight to see and all, but still… why? In the video’s description, @foodbychicago says “Relax, they’re rubber ducks. 😎 it’s for a good cause.” WHAT CAUSE?! The video’s creator did not clarify.

Luckily, some commenters helpfully explained the purpose of the Duck Derby. “It’s a fundraiser for people with special needs. Each duck someone pays $5 for and whoever wins the race wins the prize and the money is donated,” explained user @ashley.dame12. Aw, now that’s sincerely very cool.

Of course, with all of that plastic going into the water, people were naturally worried about pollution. “They just b puttin any thing in there huh” quipped user @lowhangingfruit5. “Dave Matthew band in town” joked user @rbawsum, referencing the time the Dave Matthews Band emptied their tour bus’s septic tank over a passenger boat in the Chicago River…not the nicest mental image to associate with these ducks.

But don’t worry- the ducks don’t stay in the water long. As user @tylercimi explains, “It’s not pollution. Those yellow floating lines in the water are nets to help trap them. They then pick up all of them up and reuse them next year.” We love that! Reduce, reuse, recycle… raise money for charity!

This Duck Derby is absolutely adorable, lowkey hilarious, and raises tons of money each year for a great cause. What’s not to love?

In short words - that means you can now experience lots of never-seen-before playthroughs and struggle with new challenges.ABOUT THIS WAR OF MINE:In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find This War of Mine on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/This_War_of_Mine/ Find me at these other places!!Discord! https://discord.gg/y3qMQ54UnnTwitch! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesshineTwitter! https://twitter.com/Sunny_PenelopeSupport me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SunnyPenelope
