Seeing fake headlines just pisses me off tbh
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
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.
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 normally do but just “fakenews comm but on every comm” is pretty lazy tbh
no, the internet ruined it cause theres already so many fake headlines
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
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.
Definitely not
Used to be that i hung my head at the trough of video game and videogame accessories news. The fake announcements that would come out used to be pretty funny to me back in the day.
I usually just end up falling for dumb stuff though so no
It’s crossed over into more annoying than fun, but I’ve gotten some enjoyment out of it occasionally in the past. Not this year really
