Seeing fake headlines just pisses me off tbh
Definitely not
Yes, I love it!
Spoiler
April fools! It sucks, actually.
At some point the word prank became synonymous with lie and the day lost what little humor it had
It was more fun before the internet. The local news would make up a silly local story and cause it’s done by pros it came off more official. I like gags, jokes and tricks and think a day to celebrate them is cool and goof but the execution does leave a lot to be desired.
I like when people take it as an invitation to do something silly and high effort.
I dislike it when it’s just “haha I said a lie to you! April Fools!”
It’s been a good April Fools for me so far. Lots of the former, not much of the latter.
no, the internet ruined it cause theres already so many fake headlines
I normally do but just “fakenews comm but on every comm” is pretty lazy tbh
I enjoyed most of the [adult swim] April Fools bits but I don’t even know if they still do that
What other programming block would ever dub a bunch of fart noises over an episode of Ghost in the Shell?
I think we should rework April Fools as a day where we all get to dress up like clowns. that would be fun. no mean-spirited pranks or gotchas, just a day where everyone gets to be the silliest version of themselves
that’s every day
I like the idea of it (fun goofs) more than the reality of it (lazy lies)
I think the internet is entirely unusable outside of like shopping for the entire day.
As others have said, its an expected event where 500 corporations post their version of “we’re doing X, haha jk!” and games make fake patch notes that make light of people’s legitimate criticisms.
I’d have to experience some bizarre shit like Michael Douglas in The Game for any of this to be anything more than obnoxious.
I think the internet is entirely unusable … the entire day.
Critical support tho
IRL jokes between friends can be fun, the internet version is mostly bad.
I got a friend at work by pretending to have gotten a girl pregnant who didn’t want an abortion and then got my partner by pretending I got their name tattooed (I coincidentally just got a bunch of tattoos yesterday so it was perfect, I just sharpied and wrapped the name like my other tats)
I certainly do not. It’s my least favorite after Christmas, because Christmas lasts for like 3 months. Ugh.
Christmas is a cancer
It’s mildly annoying at best.
