I went to the toilet and shouted for my son that I needed toilet roll. When he came in, I grabbed it from him and touched him with my hand, which I had covered in chocolate mousse. Worked a treat.
I’ve seen the Tiktoks a million times, yes.
Light hearted pranks are still great for April 1st!
I’ve never seen a single TikTok. My dad did this one to me in 1988.
The onion should post real news on april 1st
They always do. Satirical, but real.
This year I told my family that I’d seen the light and to celebrate because I’ve finally become a conservative christian. 🍾 🎊
Tomorrow is gonna be fun.
Tomorrow:
No, after trying it, I decided being an arrogant, spiteful, narcissistic, selfish, hateful, vengeful, judgemental piece of shit is exhausting as all hell and also just kind of a little bit wrong, don’t ya think?
People trying to make others look foolish with mean spirited jokes and outright lies and then pointing and laughing at them has never been fun.
But maybe that’s me being autistic that I don’t get it.
It’s just not fun anymore.
It used to be kinda humorous in an irreverent way back in the 2000s when Google used April Fools to announce things like the Google Romance search engine, or a facility to archive all your Gmails on printed paper. It was tech making fun of itself.
But these days when the mask is fully off, and we recognise that big tech and social media has been one of the greatest problems the world has ever faced, we’re not laughing any longer.
It was never fun to begin with.
It’s extra not fun when you’re not in the US, April 1st isn’t a particularly relevant date and you still have to endure all the “fun” bleeding into real world news because you’re in the cultural imperialism splash zone.
April Fools’ is not of US-American origin…
