Snoopavision is amazing. Will definitely be watching all my videos like that in 2169.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Uhhhh... What's the joke there exactly? I think that's a real thing.

Edit: Oh, nevermind. Didn't watch the video. Delivery by parachute lol

LOL

Parachutes are a lot like minds. They work best when they're open.

Drone technology is exciting. But it's not ready. So we asked ourselves... what if there's another way?

........

How do we get the parachutes into the air?

We use drones.

Can you actually buy it though?

Also, sadly the width of the characters (or whatever it's called in font terminology) is all over the place .

I can't tell because of April Fools but is the Google Mic Drop backfiring story legit?

If so...holy shit.

I'd hope that gets the internet to rethink April Fools stuff.

This is one of those few instances where I want not only it to be true, but Google to double down on it. COMPLETE CHAOS

People are claiming they lost jobs because of it.

I almost believed the netflix Darth Maul one...Damn you April fools!!!!

I have a close friend who has fallen for WAY too many of IGN's prank trailers. I seriously hope he does it again, because his reactions are consistently hilarious.

Why you gotta take the fun out of it .
Seriously though, that sucks.

While they don't explicitly say 'this is an April Fools gag, but the product is real' on the page, the text is pretty straight with you:

Real, actual fonts. Don't let your calendar fool you! These fonts are real and can be installed on your word processor or whatever software you prefer to install fonts on. They come in DRM-free .ttf files so that you can font to your heart's content.

100% to charity. No foolin'. Choose where the money goes — between four charities (Electronic Frontier Foundation, World Land Trust, Extra Life [Children's Miracle Network], and Traveling Stories), and, if you'd like, a fifth charity of your choice via the PayPal Giving Fund.

Sans Sans will be mine.

Place your bets, one of those April Fool's Products usually becomes real.

It'll be the Plumbus.

 

[Azure Dream]

Announcing legitimate news on April Fools' Day is a dick move.

Start of the fiscal year, some companies have to do it, or don't care about the significance.

I can't tell if the mic drop backlash is real or April Fools

I think it's multiple this year.

The Plumbus is a lump of latex. Nothing unrealistic about that.

baRPG is totally feasible. In fact, it looks like a real thing they made to look like an April Fools entry.

On a less likely note, the Star Trek White Noise Sleep Machine is probably fake, but I could see it becoming real like the Wizard Robes, maybe with a slight downscale to it.


I could see them making a real Useless Light Switch, but I think it would be engineered slightly differently.

[Mindwipe]

The Android subreddit has done a pretty good joke XDA theme, complete with adding "pls donate" etc tags under every post.

It actually performs better than the real XDA.

Also the Allspark forum has switched to a 80s comicbook skin that's actually pretty dope.

I just found out about the Gmail mic drop controversy. That's strange, Google usually nails it with its April Fools' jokes.

That Google Mic Drop was a terrible prank. Release it to 300 million people, 90% of whom wouldn't understand the implications and boom, you have a mess on your hands.

It's not like this thread is 100 pages long or anything :/ It's not that bad to just skim through all the posts. The thread is catch-all, the OP doesn't necessarily have to be.

Humble Indie Font Bundle

Thisi is awesome! I paid 1 cent just to see if it was actually real, and it is. I'm now the proud owner of 3 completely useless fonts. Unfortunately they don't have accents or the "Ñ" letter.

Is it weird that I'm tempted increase my purchase and pay for the whole bundle?
