1 day is too short
I mean, it can be if you want it to be.
Just turn on Fox News, OAN, or your favorite “alternative facts” “news” channel and every time they make a statement, just say “april fools!” in your head.
Or SNL if you’re daring
Like it isn’t hard enough to determine what is real or not on the Internet already. The only April fools things I see are from companies these days. It’s boring.
I like corporate April Fool’s jokes just as much as the next guy.
Someone’s not getting it.
That sounds like absolute hell
It is a stupid day to begin with.
It’s a bit of fun mate.
I think you meant to post this in UnpopularOpinion
A someone who moved to a country where it’s largely not a thing: absolutely not. It’s really weird trying to figure out WTF is going on with news/events starting in my nighttime on the 1st until I remember that it’s a thing and then it is just a pain in my ass until the next day some time.
You can do pranks any day of the year tho. For instance, September 3rd is “shit in my cats litter box and see if my wife notices the difference” day.
I did enjoy LivestreamFail on the other site being Northernlion-only for a day as April Fools this year. However, harmless, fun and wholesome April Fool’s are so few and far between.
We struggle with misinformation in our society already, and on a smaller, more personal scale I always found April Fools to be an extremely mean-spirited tradition purely existing to promote and encourage having fun at the expense of others. I never enjoyed humiliating others, and I don’t enjoy being pointed and laughed at either.
I think I’ll pass.
