I spent the first half of April 1 trying to figure out why I had a Discord notification in one of the servers I was in
the owner edited the icon to have the
1notification in the icon itselfThe john williams/shatner one. People were biting keyboards
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
Honestly I’m just disappointed we didn’t get a Homestar Runner cartoon.
The article I saw on Med Page stating that Noah Wylie had been accepted to med school. Plausible enough for a double take.
I did not see a single April fools joke this year
The game Palia gave our characters giant bobble heads. It was pretty hilarious!
None.
Because I’m a old, grumpy, humorless arse.
Chess.com introducing chess boxing. And being able to punch your opponents through the screen.
For me it was the announcement in the Blender’s official Discord server about its acquisition by Affinity, renaming it to Affinity 3D.
Someone announced that there was an error with the bar exam, and February testers would have to re-take. I’m not even there yet but the horror I felt.
Paulaner’s “Maß” just got even bigger
This one. Saw it on the MSN front page site and the comments from middle aged white men foaming at the mouth who hadn’t read the entire story was hilarious
with Tom Hiddleston playing the franchise’s first Bond boy - named Fitty McCrotch
If that didn’t give it away early enough on…
Oh that’s a great one. She’d be brilliant though IMO.
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
