And it puts a red "M" hat on if you search for Mario.

I think these "woke" feints at supporting Mangione are going to fail miserably.

They do the same thing for Mario, Zelda, Link, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and more. Are those also sinister wokeism or are you maybe reading too much into this?

I apologize that an easter egg that displays a cute image of a duck dressed as a video game character made you so upset, but please don't assume bad faith and inject vitrol into a discussion that should be whimsical.

I meant to make this as an Ask HN thread but was hitting a title limit... I was going to comment asking if anyone had found others, but got distracted by the thread on Robert Redford's death[1].

There are hundreds of logo easter eggs. The community has been cataloging ones they can find: https://makdulac.com/daxduckdex.html

Thanks for this pointer, I had no idea there are so many of them.

I'm not seeing it. Adblocker issue?

I tested, and it looks like if you revoke permissions for DDG in NoScript the image no longer displays when you search "Luigi" (or other characters like Pikachu.)
