I love April Fool's Day

[Panda]

The Internet's best holiday, when I engage in my annual tradition of constantly refreshing April Fool's Day on the Web. My favorites from this year so far:

Google Panda (how could I not like this?)

Game of Thrones Clue

There are now more pictures of cats on the Internet than there are actual cats

Google Dial-Up - although some people here might not be old enough to get this one. I'll never forget the time I had to explain to an intern at work what a dial-up modem sounded like. He asked me, in all seriousness, if I remembered the ENIAC. I'm 31.

The Screen Savour Taste your food porn. I wish this were real.

The Smart Sock uses GPS to find its missing match.

And of course the best one: Google Maps Pac Man

EDIT: Amazon Dash is apparently not an April Fool's Day joke. I think I may have accidentally signed up for it.

This morning I gave my kids a bag of Skittles for breakfast. Their unbridled enthusiasm quickly diminished once they realized it was full of broccoli.

/steeplesfingers muuhuuahahaha!

 

[Panda]

You are a horrible person!

*takes notes for when the niece is old enough to know what broccoli is*

Edit: Wait, how many of you have that cat as your avatar? Is this an April Fool's Day thing or a conspiracy to make me say "D'AWWW!" no matter what thread I open?

 

[T.Allen.Smith]

I'm not sure I understand your question.

The one day a year where I become even more cynical and suspicious than I already am. Trust no one. They are all about to scheme something on this day of fools.

They are all about to scheme something on this day of fools.

I think if anyone were up to something today I would know about it.

I'm not sure what there is to be skeptical of . . . . ?

 

[Panda]

You're pulling my leg, right? The little black kitten! It's your avatar. It's Philip Overby's avatar. It's steerpike's avatar. I'm afraid to look at my cat because she may have turned into a kitten just to screw with my mind.

I don't trust you Devor. Not today. You won't trick me!

Question Panda: are you using a phone or tablet to look at the site? Because I've found with my phone everyone has Devor's, Steerpikes, or some other Mod's avatar. I think it's just a glitch or something.

 

[Panda]

No, I'm using Firefox on an iMac.

Honestly, when I see their avatars they're all different to me. Although, sometimes when I use my personal mac laptop using Chrome I get some funky problems as well. That or really you shouldn't trust them today. They have something planned too.

I just walked in the door a few minutes ago, ducking under the cling wrap that my sister taped up.

Nice try, sis. Maybe next year!

@ Panda,

Clear your cache. It happens to me sometimes too.

 

[Tom]

I don't think I'm going to trust anything on this site today. I will be suspicious of any and all new posts made before midnight.

Those look normal to me.

 

[Panda]

Cleared cache, and I still see kittens. You guys are pulling my leg, right?

No. Looks normal to me too.

Did you restart after clearing the cache?

If that doesn't work, I'll inform Black Dragon.

Did anyone notice the presence of a certain STEERPlKE today? He seems to be a new member. Not sure why, but that screenname sounds familiar...

I noticed that too. *suspicious side-eye*

I did notice that. Was waiting to see what they had to say.
