I used to enjoy April Fools but I haven’t been able to for years and unfortunately find it a day of frustration now.
I just realized I didn’t encounter any tricks this year. I’m thinking part of that is I’m spending a lot of my time on services I host so less chances for others to add the tricks.
It feels like rain on my roof. April Fool’s disruptions happening outside of the space I’ve made while my life can continue as I like inside, undisrupted.

Literally the only joke I saw today was from Lockpicking Lawyer
Dito, most major outlets and companies that used to do fun things in the past for marketing or for fun have stopped. It used to be my favorite holiday, now adays… Its dry and the humor just isnt there anymore.
There’s just not much worth being happy about right now. Its kind of silly to be doing a light-hearted marketing push while people are being shot by their government.
I didn’t see any jokes today, awww, now I kind of wish I did…
I think just all the days are fools days now
Yeah, feel the same, curated RSS feeds also contribute significantly.
The amount of BS flying daily in the ‘media’ and with AI slop makes every day April Fool’s anyway. A constructed environment means the BS detector doesn’t have to be on 24/7, which becomes tiresome.
slrpnk .net got me for a second!
April Fools
I’m not much for the standard April Fools pranks. They start put with humor, but will inevitably be taken to far as each person involved tries to one—up the other.
The only April fools joke I really encountered yesterday was modded Minecraft refused to launch until I changed the date to today. Too bad I didn’t figure it out until late in the day and my kid was upset they didn’t get to play because the stupid thing stopped loading right before the main menu
