    Most years I enjoy it, this year someone’s liable to get throat-chopped. March has drained my tolerance for shenanigans (which is a shame, as I usually love shenanigans).

      Let me guess, it’s because of the giant invasive hornets that woke up from their hibernation in March? They’re freaking everywhere here now too in Vermont

        More a series of cosmically hilarious but directly infuriating/extremely disappointing events upending the plans of myself and people I care most about, delaying a series of very important life events.

        eyes this comment suspiciously, knife hand at the ready

        Later: reads about European Hornets in Vermont, slowly but not entirely lowering knife hand

    I enjoy it, to be honest.

    I love joke articles, especially video game ones. Nintendo Allows Mario In Grand Theft Auto type stuff, you know? Parody type stuff that every one gets in on, companies Introducing Tire Fries from like a car dealership. Incredibly dumb things that wouldn’t ever be a thing. They make me giggle.

      It’s like the difference between a real prank and punching someone in the face and calling it a prank.

    Im more annoyed with the algorithmic nature of the internet often putting april fools content on my feed on any other day except april fools rather than the existence of the day itself

    When every day feels like a fool’s day, and the internet is flooded with deep fakes. Then there’s no room for April fools, as it’s just another day.

    We could as well change it to April truth’s day, then it will stand out.

    I genuinely enjoyed it more when I was younger, finding all the joke articles and whatnot. Now I enjoy it less, but I’m content to let others have their fun. No use whining about it, and why should I decrease someone else’s enjoyment, when all I need to do is sit back and ignore stuff that doesn’t matter anyway. Easy.

      Just really tedious, honestly. Bunch of people doing stupid pointless shit for a full day, for no real reason.

        Basically, if you can tell it’s obviously in April fools prank, it’s cheesy and sort of lame… And if not, it’s misleading.
