God I fucking hate April fools Day.
We're fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it's just another jolt of alarm that my system can't keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.
It's great being in a time zone where it's already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you've made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here's another day of it except ramped up to 11.
April's fools Day is every day.
Them expressing a personal dislike of something is not the same as trying to stop others from enjoying it
no, fuck you. if people are like "I like the super mario movie!" and another person is like "actually it's terrible fanservice slop", that's when this comic is appropriate. But in this case, people are upset because april fools is full of bullshit lies and people rightly don't like being lied to just because it's a silly day.
Unlike every other day where the Internet is the bastion of truth and reality.
At least then the lies have reason. It's fucked up reason, but it's reason.
April fools day is FUCKING LYING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE AND LIE FOR THE SAKE OF IT.
And notebly shit like this actually can cause real problems. Iv seen April fools jokes cause thousands in lost dollars because of stock swings due to this bull shit for example
People ACTUALLY get hurt over this crap too. It's REALLY fucking annoying.
If you find yourself falling for these kinds of jokes then you may need to reconsider how you evaluate news.
People get hurt on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
I have no sympathy for day traders
Have people always had his opinion? I swear I've never seen pushback for April Fools joke articles in the past. Hell, they were anticipated because of fun ones like Blizzard.
I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak's voice.
Back in the Slashdot days, where they let this shit run wild, I hated this day every year.
But ponies!
ZOMG PONIES11!!11
I miss those days. When people don’t have as big of a stick up their ass about one day a year of fun.
Reddit had a couple of good ones. Reddit mold and the original Place was funny
No, fuck you!
Like someone else said, I’m glad lying on the internet is only limited to one day… wait…..
Dumbass.
