My coworker (A) had a stroke a few months ago. She is still recovering, but is back at work and doing well. Another coworker (B) casually complimented her cardigan, and then said “hey I think it’s inside-out though?” Coworker A started to take the cardigan off, before coworker B said “April fools” and grinned, expecting a laugh.
Now here’s where the real funny part happened: Coworker A played dumb. She was like “wait what is that? April fools? What does that mean? I don’t know, did I forget it because of the stroke? Is my cardigan actually inside out? Rehab said I was good to dress myself again, but maybe not.” It went on like that while coworker B was desperately backpedaling, trying to both apologize and explain the concept of April fools. She 100% believed that coworker A had forgotten what April fools was because of the stroke.
Then coworker A got a shiteating grin, and went “April fools. I know what it is, I just wanted to play the uno reverse.” Coworker B was absolutely stunned, because she had been in full blown “oh god I just played a prank on a stroke survivor and now I’m the bad guy” spiraling.
Didn’t really see any this year.
But when I was 15 my mom woke me up on April fools bright and early. Said there are important looking men in suits at the front door asking for you. Something about what you have been downloading
I’ve never been so scared in my entire fucking life. Glorious prank
The article I saw on Med Page stating that Noah Wylie had been accepted to med school. Plausible enough for a double take.

I had to update my Elgato Stream Deck software and it pointed to their new product - the Stream Deck + Lever.
Admittedly I did do a WTF at first but then remembered what day it was. I didn’t check more, but I have to assume! There’s no way it could be real.
Oh, that and today was the first I heard about the scope of the Artemis II mission, but it turned out that actually was real even though it seemed like an elaborate joke. Cue the conspiracy theories
