It's so hot that even rubber ducks are melting

Just look at that poor melted duck!

It is so hot right now, even, that a rubber duck left on the dashboard of a car in Ishikawa, Japan for a week melted into a big blob of sadness that also vaguely resembles one of those ergonomic gel mouse pads, as @shiohitoshi's photos prove. His caption, according to Google Translate, at least, says that it's the "worst." Which it certainly is, for this duck. These pictures were taken one week apart: Over 1 million people have favorited @shiohitoshi's tweet, because it speaks to the universal truth that is how we all feel in the first five minutes we're laying out at a beach. Now, as with many things that go viral, some suspicion regarding the photos' authenticity was raised, which in turn sparked some impressive charts and diagramming to explain out the different perspectives in the two shots:失礼します。别物って言う人にはこう见えてるかも。③は垂直かな&丑别濒濒颈辫;答え合わせほしいです pic.twitter.com/rh5PsCo7r3— ソウ (@saw_spla) July 19, 2017モデルは少々雑ですが???ホンダのザッツっというコメントを元にこんな感じですかね? pic.twitter.com/A4ibKcLKDX— めいと(? ˙ω˙)? (@jaioki_Nono) July 19, 2017Also on the case, however, BuzzFeed reached out to @shiohitoshi for clarification, and they promised it's the real deal. They original poster even filmed a video explainer (in Japanese) offering "proof," and another tragic shot of the goo puddle."I was sad when it melted, so I thought I would just get some likes from friends," @shiohitoshi explained."I keep thinking, 'Is this really that interesting of a tweet?' At the same time, if it's able to make people chuckle a bit, I'm happy."
