Don't you mean "Duck Tape"?

The funny thing is, the stuff is worthless for sealing ducts. It dries out and comes off.
It keeps the rear hatch of my wife’s Sequioa attached!
You only need three tools in life: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. If it moves and shouldn’t, use the duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If neither works, hit it repeatedly with the hammer.

I keep duct tape and packaging tape in the car for emergencies. Both have been handy a number of times.
It would have been nice for my shoes as a kid, it would wear out but it would have been easy to replace and would have made some creative solutions possible.
I didn’t get the first hand me downs, I got them after they had already been handed down once before which meant large holes in the soles.
No Red Green pictures?
Some of the uses listed ignore how gross and sticky duct tape becomes when using it for something like a lawn chair or on your sleeping bag and time and heat turn it into a disastrous repair attempt.
Can it mend broken hearts? Make fractured relationships whole again?
Gorilla tape fixes duct tape every time.
“Everything” is an interesting metaphor for progressive democrats.
But I’ll take it.
This plays into my “Tape Theory of Everything:” instead of the “string theory” in which all particles are loops of stringlike space time, the universe is actually stuck together by the Creator with duct tape, which allows for some expansion but it can never dissipate due to the “strong force,” which is also waterproof.
Ha… I came up with a use for duct tape the other day that has worked out quite well. It involved a 1 ¼” black steel pipe from a well that goes vertical after it passes through the foundation wall. Somehow one of the threaded connections had started to leak and the water was running down the pipe and making a mess on the floor. I didn’t have time to do any plumbing so what I did was use the duct tape to wrap around the pipe say a foot below the leak and then splayed out the last wraps out at the top to act as a funnel…the last wrap included some tape that went sticky side to sticky side but anyway, the water running down the pipe is now captured by this makeshift funnel that is tight to the steel pipe at the bottom where a pipe clamp was inserted around it. The duct tape of course wouldn’t like hold 60 psi but since it is just acting as a funnel, it is not under any pressure.
This funnel of course would quickly get filled up so I put a put a hole near the bottom of it and inserted a small hose that goes off to a sump. The smallest size of pipe clamp was then used to make sure this small hose was secured to the funnel without a leak. One of these days I’ll get a chance to fix this properly but in the meantime, it has gone two weeks without any water hitting the floor.
On a windy trash day it keeps my trash container lid down and trash from blowing down the street. When it is tipped upside it loses its grip from the weight of the trash.
Gun stuff. I’ve taped flashlights to my rifles and shotguns before. I’ve taped paracord to the bottom of my mags for quick pouch pullouts. Saves silly money for those kind of things.
Yes. It's actually horrible for duct work. Ironic.

How about glues. I have been using high viscosity E6000 (the construction cartridge size) on the bottom of my athletic shoes, to extend their life, where I get maximum wear on them.. Same company makes the well known shoe goo, so I figure they are the same.
Gorilla makes a very thick and weather resistant duct tape that I use. Very sticky. https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Weather-Waterproof-Temperature-Resistant/dp/B07GRJ8L55
