Poll I hate April Fools, do you? (19 votes)

Yes, pls stop... 47%
No, i love pranking! 21%
I live under a rock, what is April Fools? 32%

I hate April Fools because of the things the current people like, 9/10 times it involves someone getting hurt (emotionally or physically), i don't mind the classics like the shocker and stuff but those are rare nowadays...

What do you think, do people take it to far or are the "pranks" still funny?

@Iszdope: Lol, for me the reason to really hate it is that someone broke my best friends arm with his "prank" last year, he can't play volleyball at the level he was anymore :L

To be honest, April Fool's Day has never had any impact on me whatsoever. So no, I don't hate April Fool's.

@dylandr: Saying they overdid it could be an understatement. It's nice as a tradition but some people just don't know limits.

@johnd13: I've made sure that everyone knows that if they try to prank me that they will be the one in pain, i am a nice guy but that is one of the things that is just a no go.

The only April Fool's Pranks I've ever seen were fake news...never seen anybody actually pranking...just people saying stupid stuff like "Guess what? I won the lottery!" or "I went and got married yesterday to this chick I met last week!"

Funniest April Fool's joke for me so far was the birth of my sister...she was born on April 1st and when my mother called people saying she had been born nobody "fell for it" and nobody showed up at the hospital. Sad and funny XD

I'd like to express it...I don't like this day's "festivity" anymore...the last time some immature bastard pull this thing,it ended up being dumb and way too childish,good thing I'm not involved,otherwise I'd done the same thing before he did.

you see,April Fools are for kids. grow up a little,a man knows his identity,so is a woman,if being abusive is not a reason that the prank was executed...then chances are abuse is present in the prank at a point,someone could get killed for pulling off the victim's phobia way too seriously...never know how I can scare one school all by myself,do you? then don't use the day as if it's your only day to live...scaring the shit out of the people you know or not know for no real and proper reason.

@dylandr: fair enough,I was thinking of slashing some childish ass' neck with the same ol' blood-stained metallic ruler when the prank's pulled onto me...I did nothin' wrong..why would they want to put me to shame? don't they feel the same inside? all I can give them in return is death and revenge,nothing else.

@dylandr: I don't rustle jimmies the same way you think, I've seen and learned of a nutcracking invincibility...never know? I might tell you

a man's jimmy (testicle) won't feel pain because adaptation works too. being kicked for a hundred times...nah.it's nothing.how about a thousand? still no,amazing isn't it? answer comes from a substance found inside of it,and was secreted for multiple times,so the man won't feel pain ever since

so just aim for the neck,worth a trillion if you get my point

EDIT: unless the possibility is busted,I should wear one of these the next time someone tried to rustle mine

I completely forgot that today is April Fools. TBH, days like today, or even holidays, have been losing their appeal to me in recent years....

I haven't seen any. I've stayed off Reddit and haven't opened any clickbait threads on these forums. I'll probably play some Total War in a bit, or some Evolve.

@dylandr: Ah. I don't have that issue. I'm pretty good about getting certain units into an engagement that is advantageous ie you don't bring spear infantry to fight against sword infantry, unless you're attacking from the rear or the sides. I've actually come to enjoy axe infantry quite a bit. Nothing like occupying an enemy with swords or heavy spearmen and then having your warbands hit the guys from the side and instantly rout every unit they hit.

It doesn't bother me, these days it's pretty obvious when you're reading a joke article, most of the really clever jokes/pranks have already been done one way or another in the past.

I once got fooled by a Blizzard prank where they claimed they were putting the Warhound back into Heart of the Swarm. It was actually a major factor in me buying the game, it was only later that I learned that having new content in a expansion pack is Blizzard's idea of a joke.

Yes, simply because most of the "pranks" played online aren't clever or funny.
