I frequently pull pranks, this april first, I am doing nothing. Watching everyone trying to figure out what I’m planning and getting more and more paranoid as the day goes on is its own prank
A friend has posited that due to the generally depressing state of things, we should just consider this day March 32nd and politely ignore the usual custom of attempted hilarity. He says that the bar for something being genuinely funny is just too effing high right now. I;m not sure that he’s wrong.
For my prank I will post on the discussion of random Mehrathon deals today how I’ve previously bought such and what a WONDERFULproduct it is and such a great DEAL that they should consider buying at least three of each.
And then a week or two later when they come back to complain about the purchase, I can shout APRIL FOOL!
For years, I’ve wanted to create an AD GPO at work that would run a script upon login that prompts “Enter any 12 digit prime number to continue.” I’ve debated whether it should actually require the number to be prime, or to allow access after any 12 digit number is entered. Regardless, once the prompt is satisfied, the script displays “April Fools!” and maybe some other silliness.
However, today is the last April 1 for me at the college as I will retire at 63 in early January 2027 after 38 years and two months of full-time and about four years part-time employment. They already want to hire me part-time, which I’m totally open to given that my job is my hobby and I would not be retiring at all if CUNY’s 401a allowed in-service Roth conversions.
Well that’s been a nice long run! You’re lucky to be given the opportunity to stay on, you won’t have to experience that “what do I do with myself now” thing that I hear so many young retirees talking about.
I’m curious, maybe it’s just too early and my brain isn’t fully functioning yet but how is your job your hobby? Independently wealthy comes to mind but even that non functioning brain of mine knows THAT’S none my business.
Cling wrap on the toilet bowl!
I am adamantly anti prank.
Nothing. I forgot. I guess I’m the fool.
I am seriously too old for this s***
reality is too much of a joke already

Ain’t THAT the truth…

I cannot surpass what the masters of the Net achieve, so I will enjoy what they have concocted, and it will suffice.

I don’t like pranks.
Nothing. April Fools Day is for amateurs.
Pay at the drive thru window then speed away before they can hand me the food. Suckers!

No pranks but I do think it’s odd that Artemis II is going up tomorrow.
No pranks; March 32nd it shall be. Reality’s already enough of a bastard.

I will spend the day hoping the plumber’s bill was a pre-April Fools joke.
@hchavers
Wondering if I was the ONLY ONE who read “plumbers butt crack” the first time through?

MMM Brussel Sprouts! Pass on April Fool’s Day…
