Duck Duck Go is trying to bring back pirate talk and I’m here for it
And a bullycod to you too
I’m looking forward to the pirate duck
Now what’s a shanny?
a small European blenny (Blennius pholis) that is olive green with irregular dark spots and has no appendages on the head
Of course it is.
For those still wondering, a shanny/blenny is a little fish similar to a guppy, known for it’s large eyes, blunt head and inability to acquire a proper-sounding name.
A cornish name of the shanny. Allso bullycod.
…wha?
that’s so brittish it isn’t even decipherable written down!It’s a fish
It looks like DDG is using wordnik as their source for definitions.
For this word they have four definitions each with a different license:
- Formally all rights reserved but now out of copyright and in the public domain
- GPL-2 (but based on an out of copyright proprietary dictionary)
- CC BY-SA 4.0
- Alll rights reserved
https://www.wordnik.com/words/bully
Of these licenses the first is the easiest to work with. It comes with the fewest restrictions and transfers the fewest responsibilities to downstream consumers.
The OP definition is available in context here:

A-ha, found the origin of Bully Maguire.
To me personally duckduckgo is just bing with worse results on top… i never understood how people Can use it.
It supposedly also ha some level of censorship but thats hard to test.
There are so many search engines promising to respect privacy, what makes people use this one?
DuckDuckGo has a focus on privacy. They don’t track or sell your search data.
That’s kinda the point for a privacy focused search engine isnt it. How about?
- StartPage
- Qwant
- Swisscows
- Searx
- Mojeek
- Metager
I didnt check all their details but on premis there the same thing.
Those that i did test where all consistently better then duck. Except searchx but that depends on the host.
The only difference is DuckDuckGo has an estimated Net Worth of $1 billion and pulls in bills (get it, like a duck).
Solving problems that don’t exist, the American Way.
DuckDuckGo only achieved any meaningful userbase because of QAnon conspiracy theorists and I find it hilarious that anyone would recommend that jank-ass search.
For me personally, nothing, apart from “I use it on other devices so I’ll use it here too”.
Moved from Google to DDG a few years ago, I have no reason really to move to another search as i’m satisfied with duckduckgo, but i’m eyeing Kagi.
DDG has been fast, responsive, works fine when proxied via a datacenter IP (unlike other services that start throwing capchas at you), looks familiar/like Google to the untrained eye, and image search works as you’d expect. If you’re coming from google, to be honest there’s no reason to pick it specifically, there are a wealth of search engines to choose from.
Approaching it with google-style searches often yields shit results. My search style adjusted over time, and now I find it much better than Google for my use.
As a sidenote, I’ve found Searx and Yandex are better for niche/unpopular sites (especially those with user-submitted content), as well as 🚢🏴☠️.
Edit: rephrasing opinions to sound as such
i reminds me of old (00s era) google which is more useful than the current ad riddled eso based google search. especially for niche technical things
Well, bully for you
A bully is a species of blenny. Well that’s very helpful.
The fuck is a blenny?!
Cute lil feeshes
Why did we regress, I want to go back to speaking this way. I’m tired of our cornish language!
That’s just bully.
🎶Help me Bob, I’m bully in the alley!🎶
