It's our first wedding anniversary today and we agreed no pranks so we could relax and enjoy it. Not that either of us are the pranking type anyway really, but better to agree it out loud 😄
My parents got married on March 31st. Story goes that, the morning after the wedding night, my mom went into the bathroom, came out a few minutes later fully dressed, said "April fools!" and walked out the door.
I sent this meme I stole from lemmy to the rest of my coworkers with the caption:
Major repo change taking effect immediately
Didn't do a lot. Went for a coffee and a walk with my buddy. Asked him what he think of polygamy as one of topic to discuss. Then I brought up that I got second girlfriend, her name is April. He said okay, April. Then I added her last name is Fools. And he was like ugh. Got em.
I tried to prank my daughter yesterday, by saying that she had school today. But she just kept crying, because she didn't get it. So she kind of ruined the joke, but it was still funny.
Got engaged on April 1st. So much temptation to go YOINK, April Fools!
Fortunately, didn't. She said yes, and still happily married.
One common prank I've been a part of is producing fake blue screens of death. It's known as being easy (take an image of a blue screen, put it in a slide program, and maybe add some random jumpscare or sound effect triggers) and is effective without "going too far". Nobody suspects the gal wearing the blue screen of death t-shirt, not even this year.
Also, someone saw I was still technically mourning from loss this week and gave me a fake lottery ticket thinking it would cheer me up. Har har har, I fell for it. Even asked someone for an on-the-fly ride to the store only to learn right then and there at the store I've been bamboozled (and now owe the person who rode me there ride money because I told him I'd pay him in some of the lotto winnings).
One of my Discord servers changed all the channel names for the day.
Nothing else so far. It's been quiet.
I was really disappointed that Pokémon Sleep wasn't somehow doing a sleep championship. I felt like for the first time, I could be in esports.
Civitai.com website added a random "chadGPT hacked the site" page that loaded. It even was animated with glitch effects and all.
Also Satisfactory, a PC game, joked about a Nintendo Switch release on YouTube.
Haven't seen much today unfortunately, hoping that changes. I made a very short pixel art skit for today and posted it in a few places. April snuck up on me once again, so I'm glad I got anything up this time.
