    "Write" an essay or longer document titled, Texting Too Long at Redlights as Praxis: a Materialist Analysis, and hide a disclaimer that it's an AI-generated goof in the middle of the second paragraph. Format as an effortpost so that people assume that's what they're looking at, but actually post it to /c/chapotraphouse

    Off the top of my head the only April fools prank on the internet I can remember enjoying was when the staff of Deadspin and the staff of Jezebel traded places for the day. There were some surprisingly thoughtful articles on both sites, and also several that made me laugh. Mostly April fools sucks though, and pranks aren't funny, they're just mean. This includes when hexbear.net crashes at some point today and against my will, I am forced to break my oath to never :logout:

      No no no, when the site logs you out, that's not your doing! It doesn't count unless you actively click on the :logout: button.

      You haven't broken any oaths unless you also swore one not to ever log back in.

    After I walked the corg, I went to give her a treat. Instead of throwing it the way I was facing, I let it fall behind me!

    Someone posted earlier telling me it was April 1 but I wasn't fooled
