Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).
Google Japan always pulls a joke about how they’ve developed a new better Google Japanese Keyboard.
So far there’s been a spoon you bend to different angles to select characters, and a giant keyboard key you wear as a hat and use by reaching up and spinning it to point in the cardinal direction of a given character, and then enter it by pressing the single giant key-hat thing.
It’s especially funny with Google being such a massive monolithic company, and there’s the Japanese branch just doing their own thing.
Co-op (British grocery store chain) posted this product announcement on their Facebook page, playing on the British predilection for enjoying horrible sandwiches.
Not only that, but there are literally dozens of websites with recipes and instructions on how to make them (as if that required any sort of further explanation). Unless this is some sort of massive prank they’re playing on literally the entire rest of the world, I’m led to believe they actually do enjoy eating this.
My son (5 y/o) walked into my office and said “dad! I brought you something”. I assumed it was a piece of Easter candy because he had a hand behind his back. I asked him what did he have.
He turned around, let out a huge fart, and said “Fooled you!” Then he put on his cowboy hat and walked out of the room.
Sadly I feel like this tradition is drying up more and more each year. I remember like 10-15 years ago tons of sites did really big things for the day. I honestly forgot today was April 1st until I saw this post. I miss it.
Nothing online I’ve found is interesting. But I bought a pack of “Student Driver” magnets, and put it on my car enthusiast friends Porsche. Haven’t heard anything yet, so im hoping its still on. Might throw a new one on whenever I notice its gone.
If left on, those things can scratch the paint. Dirt from the road works its way in. I had a friend who destroyed the paint job on his car with one. He had it on a pretty long time tho.
Yes, I’ve been known to partake in some. Was sitting in the front seat of a bus, and the buses have a rule where, at all the train tracks, they’re supposed to briefly stop and open the bus doors to see if they hear any train coming before closing the door and driving onward again. The bus had stopped to do just that, and at that very moment, I played a train sound effect I had ready on my phone. The bus driver looks around and is weirded out by the “seeming invisible train”.
Yeah, last I heard, the place I worked at was going to be priced out of their products, from ESXi hosts to Horizon to WorkSapce1. ALL the eggs were in that basket.
They’ll have to transition and retool for everything.
I work for a F500 org that does billions in sales a month and Brocade couldn’t tell us if we were going to be invited to the new partner program. It was an absolute shitshow.
Makes me glad I only have to deal with Cisco and FortiNet.
