My very first 3 minute YouTube short is finally up on my channel! I decided to play a quick little game of CraftMine from the Minecraft April Fools update. I promise, this adventure might be short but it goes way off the rails just the same as the others~ ​​

One of the best things I saw this week: a paper uncovering alien signals in the Riemann Zeta function. April Fools always brings peak creativity.

This is Internet Gold.

In fact, many users may find that compressing their entire file system and then restoring it will be a good way to learn what is truly important."

Love this April Fool's Joke!

"Museum of the American Proud Boy to Open in DC.

The initiative is part of President Trump’s push to restore “American greatness” at the Smithsonian."

People boosting April Fools' jokes on April 4th: You are my favorite #chaos

On April 1, 1957, the BBC’s Panorama fooled 8 million viewers with a 3-minute prank about a ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest,’ narrated by Richard Dimbleby. Showing farmers picking spaghetti from bushes, it tricked many Britons unfamiliar with pasta—then an exotic dish—thanks to the BBC’s credibility and the era’s limited culinary exposure. #AprilFools #BBC

@NatureMC It feels like a belated #AprilFools but alas it is reality.

I do try to laugh at it. So when the tears go down my face you dont know if its because of the laughter or the legit crying. Maybe both.

On the brightside, #spring has come and me and the dog will play fetch in the park. Maybe I'll take my daughter with me. Depends on how tired she is.

"Tracking Concorde & Emirates Takes On DHL: 2025's Best Airline April Fools" by Simple Flying (#FPNF Fediverse presence not found - if you know them, invite them) - Overview of some aviation-related #AprilFools gags. The big one was FlightRadar24's display of "live" tracking for two fictitious Concorde flights, which fooled a few despite the date.

Er zijn er altijd die grappig willen blijven #2aprilvis

It was #AprilFools day again and I had my yearly releasing / freeing / scrubbing of all muted accounts.

Excited, how many people will be back there in a matter of days.

For a moment I thought it was a belated #AprilFools joke...

But not off course they are 100% serious. Well I'm glad to see that the ever flexibel, deescalating #EU is sticking with its guns.

Beyond the shameless demand that we buy American I think the main issue for the US is that we'd become less dependent on them, that we arent as easily pressured, cajoled, forced or neutralized.

Same with the desire from #RussianImperialism to get us hooked again on their gas. Hell its probably the reason why the #US is so anti renewable. With renewables we would be more sovereign and autonomous.

This could have real consequences in the #Geopolitics arena @geopolitics

After extensive testing, we've come to a shocking conclusion...
Boron don’t have legs. Never did. Probably never will.
Hope you enjoyed April Fools! The floating shall continue!

April 1st is over, you can again believe everything you see or read on the Internet.

For anyone in the US who still applies critical thinking to the news, yesterday must have been a tough day. How do you tell the difference between the misdeeds of their misgovernment and an April Fool's prank these days?
