So. Um. I may have spent my plan period assembling a Duolingo Owl from colored paper to hang beside a sign reading "Have you finished your English homework?" today.

It may have caused several kids familiar with the memes to freak.

I must admit - I am familiar with the app, but not the memes.

I'm not sure, but I think it started with the false alarm missile alert in Hawaii. That pushed an alert to everyone in the area's phones.

DuoLingo, if you have the app, also has push notifications. These seem...vaguely ominous. "Looks like you forgot your Spanish lessons again. You know what happens now!" Meaning, presumably, you lose your streak.

Someone in the area must have had the app, forgot their lesson due to the, um, missile alert, and posted a screenshot of their lockscreen:

"Looks like you forgot your Spanish lessons again. You know what happens now!"
"EMERGENCY ALERT: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY."

Therefore, the internet decided that you must remember your daily streak, or Duo will find you.

And, being a terrible person, I decided to put a reminder of that in my classroom.

Uhu! Uhu! Uhu!

We're coming to PUNISH you!!!
