On April 1, 1957, the BBC’s Panorama fooled 8 million viewers with a 3-minute prank about a ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest,’ narrated by Richard Dimbleby. Showing farmers picking spaghetti from bushes, it tricked many Britons unfamiliar with pasta—then an exotic dish—thanks to the BBC’s credibility and the era’s limited culinary exposure. #AprilFools #BBC

For anyone in the US who still applies critical thinking to the news, yesterday must have been a tough day. How do you tell the difference between the misdeeds of their misgovernment and an April Fool's prank these days?

I always feel sad when April Fools is over. One day a year everyone gets to experience what it's like being me, shouting "that's so dumb it's not even wrong!" at everything. Sometimes it's charming and creative despite being nonsense, often it's "<SIGH> Why?"

We now return to the regularly scheduled Every Day Fools.

Imagine being trapped on a boat with the duo lingo notifications

Its amusing for an ad, but still an ad so I didn't link

In real life you'd just lose your duo lingo streak because cruise internet is too expensive

"Fool For April" teableau for 04/01/25

A few Alice In Wonderland elements seemed in keeping with April Fool's Day, for quirkiness.

This was our other #AprilFools today. We told them our budget couldn’t stretch to the fancy self checkout machines other libraries have. Sadly, it went over the head of some students. The ones who got it though loved it.
