This was an April Fools joke last week. But given that an Omen, Ghostbusters, and another Godzilla/Kong movie are in the theaters right now, I don’t see how this is effective satire.
April fools jokes I would play on the brothers pt1
Satan: place a random book he'll find interesting somewhere (e.g. "the newest discoveries about cats"), but when he picks it up to read it, his hands stick to the pages
he'd probably chase me through the house, cursing my entire family, but I'd help him get unstuck eventually
Asmo: start undressing in front of him, but every time I take a piece of clothing off, there's another one underneath it
Belphie: once he's fallen asleep somewhere, change the entire room around him, so that he's super confused and disoriented when he wakes up
Mammon: dropping one of those fake money bills should do it
Beel: doing a "is it cake?", where I make a realistic looking object as a cake and eat a piece of it in front of him
he can have the rest bc he's a sweetheart, but he'll probably try eating random things to see if they're cake for like a week
Levi: dressing up his anime figures in silly clothes
Lucifer: he wouldn't fall for any ordinary trick, so I just pretend that I did something and act really suspicious, giggle, etc.
he would go mad trying to figure it out, when there's nothing to figure out lmao
One of the (many) problems with online April Fools jokes is that they're still floating around after April 1.
Like, FB is going to be showing dumb April Fools posts at the top of my feed for months.
Okay, this has to be an #AprilFools thing. I get that some tenures of #TheDoctor are short, but they can't bring back another old face every other Doctor.
I'm gonna stop being down on the AprilFool haters. Somebody was explaining how the cognitive load on having to figure out whether a post is misinformation or merely a joke is too much, and... for me that's part of the fun, but I can see where they're coming from.
Some people don't like sudoku or crossword puzzles (Me, I like the very easy ones that I can try to speedrun, get bored with any that take more than a few minutes). That's allowed.
But it doesn't seem reasonable to me that half the world should be shamed for enjoying a harmless, fun tradition simply because the other half find it annoying. Maybe a compromise can be reached? Something like, next year, those who like to play can add something to our profiles or feeds to say that we're #AprilFools friendly, and everybody else can filter us out for the day shrug
There's a long tradition of culinary April Fools. Atlas Obscura rounds up some of the best, including the famous spaghetti tree hoax, the origin story of "Hansel and Gretel," and the bull ball beer joke that eventually became reality.
April Fools has come and gone in Japan & one of the posts that drew attention was this one from Japan Post, which spoofed its "You-Pack" shipping service with a face mask that's JP Post Red and features the national postal symbol. The catch copy: "Moisture, special delivery."
But it’s stupid slow! 50bps, not 300bps! So prerecorded #Commodore 8-bit software bootstraps “turbotape” code to use a faster and compressed, but still digital, format.
Using turbotape, you could hypothetically fit roughly 3 megabytes on your 120-minute #C64 cassette! So #Cyberpunk2077’s #AprilFools 97,619 1.44MB floppies could theoretically span only 43,885 datasettes, plus any code needed to stitch the split code together. (2/3)
Posting misinformation on the 1st of April isn't funny in this media environment. It makes you look like any other Boomer who has been overwhelmed by pernicious memes.
#introduction Hi, I'm posting this because I recently snapped back to reality from a prolonged fugue state I've been experiencing since June 2023. I have no recollection of my posts on here, so it's time to wipe the slate clean. Here are some of my interests:
Stamp & coin collecting
Trainspotting
Stone skipping
Ghost hunting
Yelp reviews
Loitering at the grocery store
Online debates
Yodeling at sunrise
Now that the Nivex derailleurs have been in production for a while, Rene Herse is taking analog shifting to the next level with the Floating Chain. This system is lighter, has less resistance and costs far less than all derailleur systems available today.Jan Heine, head of R&D at Rene Herse Cycles, explained: “One-by drivetrains have simplified bicycle gearing, but it’s time to go a step further. Most cyclists need only three gears: one for uphills, one for flat roads, and one for downhills. The steps between these gears tend to be relatively large. Large steps between three gears are easiest to accommodate on the front, with a triple crank. So we’ve effectively turned the one-by around and put all the gears on the front.”
The Floating Chain system uses a triple crank and just a single-speed freewheel on the rear. As an added benefit, front derailleurs are lighter, more reliable, and less prone to damage when the bike falls over.
In the interest of keeping the system simple and to reduce mechanical resistance to a minimum, there is no chain tensioner. The chain length is selected for the big chainring, and it’s allowed to float freely when it runs on one of the smaller chainrings. There is no need to keep the lower chain run tensioned, as long as you don’t backpedal for more than half a revolution of the cranks.
