happy April fool’s btw
God I fucking hate April fools Day.
We’re fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it’s just another jolt of alarm that my system can’t keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.
It’s great being in a time zone where it’s already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you’ve made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here’s another day of it except ramped up to 11.
I genuinely feel for you. I have NEVER liked April fools jokes.
April’s fools Day is every day.
It feels like that doesn’t it?
no, fuck you. if people are like “I like the super mario movie!” and another person is like “actually it’s terrible fanservice slop”, that’s when this comic is appropriate. But in this case, people are upset because april fools is full of bullshit lies and people rightly don’t like being lied to just because it’s a silly day.

Unlike every other day where the Internet is the bastion of truth and reality.
At least then the lies have reason. It’s fucked up reason, but it’s reason.
April fools day is FUCKING LYING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE AND LIE FOR THE SAKE OF IT.
And notebly shit like this actually can cause real problems. Iv seen April fools jokes cause thousands in lost dollars because of stock swings due to this bull shit for example
People ACTUALLY get hurt over this crap too. It’s REALLY fucking annoying.
Have people always had his opinion? I swear I’ve never seen pushback for April Fools joke articles in the past. Hell, they were anticipated because of fun ones like Blizzard.
Just the “kicked off of every other platform” crybabies that have settled on Lemmy doing what they do
Anything you can think of, there’s probably a whole group of people who hate it.
You probably stay away from people like that in your real life, but through the magic of the Internet they get to sit in your living room and yell at you to stop having fun.
Seems to be more prevalent here on the fediverse specifically
If you find yourself falling for these kinds of jokes then you may need to reconsider how you evaluate news.
I have no sympathy for day traders
People get hurt on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak’s voice.
No, fuck you!
Like someone else said, I’m glad lying on the internet is only limited to one day… wait……
Dumbass.
No.
Them expressing a personal dislike of something is not the same as trying to stop others from enjoying it
Good April’s Fool joke!

I read this from the start with the mind that it’s probably an April fool’s joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It’s just a long article that could be true but isn’t. Stupid and a waste of time.
Well, it closes with:
At press time, the companies said the deal was expected to close shortly after the industry finished checking the calendar.
I’m annoyed because I only saw it on my feed today. Luckily I was about 2 sentences in before I checked the date.
I agree, but it’s still better than the “pranks” that hugely wink at you and think they’re clever, but they’re obviously some marketing team trying to come up with ideas that aren’t offensive… yeah, I said it, this dreck is better than that dreck. heh.
I fucking hate April Fools
this article has apparently caused AMD +3.61% ▲ and Intel INTC +8.84% ▲
We already knew stock price wasn’t tied to reality
Obviously not when AMD lapped Intel in market cap.
What was even their moat, dependence on TSMC to fab their chips?
Oh boy this is why I hate most April fool jokes.
They are generally not funny, just stupid.On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it
I tend to remember, but ive been caught off guard finding fake news months or years down the road when the site doesnt take down the ‘joke’ or add a disclaimer
I did forget it was the 1st, and I did laugh initially. Then I remebered the date. So to me at least, it was funny. :shrug:
Well at least some found it funny.
Yes, that’s actually funny. 👍 😋
If you dont like it, just turn your phone off for a day there, bud.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
What a completely moronic suggestion, how do you figure that makes any sense?
It’s like saying If you don’t like chicken, just stop eating.
I have no idea how it’s possible to be that stupid??? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 What a completely moronic reply. Ill forward you April Fools jokes all day if you’d like. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
OK, maybe there will be a nugget in there, challenge accepted.
Bonus points if some of them are actually funny, and not just stupid.April Fools!
Got’em. Not spending my day personally forwarding you shit.
Oh just doing the talk and not the walk, That figures from the content of your previous posts.
What are you going on about now?
Ah shit lol.
Rumors say they will buy Nvidia after.
Next up: Boeing Buys Airbus 🤣
RISC-V buys NVIDIA
Pepsi buys Coca-Cola
If you’ve got no taste;)
If, it would be the other way around.
Nah, I wanna ruin air travel 😈
OK then it’s correct 😁
