I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.

I love how it even lists 'sources' (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either "source")

Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still "playful" though :)

This actually makes sense though

Yeah I can see a dad making that exact joke if he asked his kid to play the didgeridoo and they refused because they were shy or something.

A good test has to exclude all possible dad jokes as well as changes in single words/ fragments of otherwise common expressions.

What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?

it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)

Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here's how to teach your dog to knit.
