It's official folks, the internet has ruined April Fool's Day. Thanks internet. Thanks a lot. :mad:

And the Internet, for better and very often for worse, does not tend to distinguish between stories and facts, between the earnest and the satirical. The World Wide Web is an epistemological free-for-all—which makes it wonderfully democratic, definitely, but which also means that lies can spread on its platforms with, often, as much ease as truths.

I believe everything i read on the internet, so yesterday was a big disappoint.

Thought everything was real.
 
Yesterday was the second for me since I live in Japan... so some of them got me.
 
If they were just wtf? sorts of bullshit stories it'd be fine, but it seems like most of them are created to elicit disappointment in the readers when they find out the story is bunk. There is a cruel streak running through it all.
 
It was just a little more BS than any other day. Sometimes, it's hard to tell if it's trolling or if its April Fools day or if it's just General Mayhem.
