Ah, just realized what day it is
East Coast here, it's not even midnight for another 4 minutes!
The world doesnt only exist within the US timezone ;)
In the real east coast April 1St ended over an hour ago
I am on the east coast and it had been April 1 for 14 hours when you posted this
But the message says it was sent on March 31st.
the timestamp is generally local for the reader, not the poster.
A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.
I guess next year I'll have to post a joke just after midnight. I'll wake to find confusion and chaos.
Often we are not even included on maps.
Timezones, probably!
They just were so fucking fast they posted to the past.
