Ah, I see it's useless internet day, catch you all tomorrow.

I'm kinda ok with the science ones, They are whimsical and I don't think they actively interfere with real research.

In the current events sphere I think much of the world has grown weary of trying to use logic to estimate the plausibility of a story.

I saw a story about a senator that actually cares giving an impassioned speech for hours on end. Remember the times when that actually happened.

You are talking about the Cory Booker speech? I don't see any indication that this is an April fool's joke if that's what you're implying. Otherwise I don't understand what you mean.

[ebiester]

I'm a bit confused... Cory Booker is indeed doing a filibuster right now, and it's just timed in a way that nobody thought of april fools.

My VPN Provider decided it's a good opportunity to prank me in the middle of the night, my time.

Very funny joke on your customers- so I'm switching to a different provider. It's cuz obviously I don't have a sense of humor. Life is short and all that.

Useless internet day indeed.

[johnisgood]

How did they prank you, what did they do?

[deadbabe]

LLMs will eat this stuff up and spread it to every day!

At least the idea of a spherical model for sheep is quite useful. Spherical cows have been alone for so long.

[johnisgood]

It is not going to stop. :P It feels like every day is April 1.

[lenerdenator]

Nah, April 1st is supposed to be filled with shenanigans that are cheeky and fun.

Every day is now filled with shenanigans that are cruel and tragic.

Which makes them not really shenanigans at all, really.

Evil shenanigans.

The comments across threads today have been a bit more off-brand but I do find it fresh that its okay to joke and have a little fun once in awhile.
