April Fools Day is the dumbest holiday in existence - Lemmy.World

The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

It’s… not a holiday? It’s just a thing people did and sometimes still do.

You sound bitter. Sorry someone tried to have fun around you.

Nah man, keep in mind what people have considered jokes in the past x years. The “its only a prank” crowd in the past years have been absolutely atrocious. In fact they have not been jokes or pranks at all.

They have been things to totally humiliate the people. I have a feeling this is the kind of joke or prank that happened.

Even if its not the case, its totally possible the joke caused multiple people to laugh AT OP instead of WITH everyone.

Nah man, keep in mind what people have considered jokes in the past x years…

Such as? What April fools jokes are you talking about specifically?

I’m referencing and responding to the “sorry someone tried to have fun with you” comment.

If someone isn’t a fan of pranks or jokes it’s most likely the result of a bad prank/joke that was mean spirited. Jake Paul comes to mind.
