If you’re learning another language, it’s time for your daily reminder — have you practiced your Español today? Your Français? Deutsch? If not, you better watch out. The Duolingo Owl may be coming for you.
Duolingo is a language-learning app that takes a gamification approach to reaching goals in your target language. Their mascot is a cutesy little owl named Duo, who sends you daily reminders to practice.
But what if happen you miss a day, or forget? Duo is not a very forgiving beast.
The Duolingo Twitter account recently shared a teaser image for an upcoming app update that gave off pretty ominous vibes.
Most users speculated that this probably pointed to a “dark mode” for the app. But when the Twitter account denied that this update was a dark mode, it only made the image seem even more menacing.
The memes rolled in — he sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you haven’t practiced Japanese in three days, and he’s out for vengeance.
Duo is coming to kill us in our sleep if we don’t practise

Is this Duo coming to my door in the middle of the night to kill me because I haven’t taken my German lessons since Thursday?

So if you have the time, open the app and the Duolingo owl might — oh god, he’s right behind me isn’t he?
