Happy April Fools' Day 2015: HiRise Toast, Pets Unleashed and More

[Daalseth]

Am i the only one who feels april fools was funny in my teenage years, now its just stupid

Actually I didn't care for it back then either.

A prank/joke is meant to be amusing.

When others find something funny and you don't perhaps you should look inward...

 

[Doctor Q]

More assorted silliness:

Bangkok, Your Uberboat is Arriving

Honda HR-V SLF

Tesco introduces Bouncy Aisles

Zoology: Here be dragons

Leaning Tower of Pisa becomes luxury hotel

BMW Motor Mouth

Samsung Galaxy BLADE edge

 

[Jeaz]

I would totally buy the hi-rise toaster. Mmmm toast.

Love the Apple Watch Teardown.

Accurate to 1 second per day.
Going to be interesting to see how far we've come with the model about to launch on this aspect, and how much more accurate per 24 hours it will be just on it's own.

1/10th of a second?
1/100th of a second?
1/1000th of a second?

[orioncrystalice]

I would absolutely buy the toast thing

 

[Goftrey]

I was genuinely excited for this given the amount of toast I go through

Received this email from the woodworking supply store Woodcraft this morning. Too bad it's not on their web page.

Re/Code just grossed me out with their post. I like seeing the stuff that gets posted, but that was just going too far.

Sadly, I think that game isn't actually an April Fool's joke

Thank you. Poor guy didn't get much out of it, but at least he was there!

We swapped themes at /r/apple with /r/android on Reddit. The community is loving it and totally playing along with a huge amount of satire.

Lefsetz newsletter - Apple Buys Spotify



Note that his prank last year on Apr 1st was "Apple buys Beats"

Geez! A simple link would have sufficed...

Grumpy posters on MacRumors are becoming such killjoys when it comes to April Fools' Day.

Lighten up.

I like funny, just find some of the "pranks" too corny. Why should that "kill your joy"? (can't enjoy something unless everyone does it?)

----------

When others find something funny and you don't perhaps you should look inward...

yup the herd mentality, do what other do.

----------

Plus with all the crap that is out there the other 364 days of the year, it's nice to have 1 day when everyone can just lighten up and have a little fun.

Just have another day to add more "crap" to the "crap" that's already there?

I've usually heard it as

Not Suitable For Work

But same general idea...

Nyt:
Apple fixed the wi fi problems.

They must have remotely fixed mine, because I'm not having the WiFi slowdown anymore... I'm not kidding, the problem has disappeared on both my Macs!
