That thing where there was barely any noteworthy April 1st stuff going on yesterday and no one really cared because we're all too worn out for that kinda contrived funnies.

@balinares Yeah, I'm not a fan of April Fools Day at all, but the sheer ratio of people complaining about pranks to actual pranks seen kinda... made it feel like killing an already-dead mouse with a hand grenade, to be honest.

I think the holiday's good and dead and I'm not particularly sorry, but I do wonder if 200 years from now people won't be wondering why April 1 is a holiday where we all tell each other not to play practical jokes we weren't planning on playing anyhow. :)
