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 :)

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.

Sounds like lyrics that were cut from Bo Burnham's Welcome to the Internet

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.

Literally heard my dad make this same joke like 30 years ago so it's actually a thing, I guess

The thing is, that probably is an Australian expression. There is no expression stupid enough that the Australians won't use it.
