Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Nintendo Switch 2 getting more details, and knowing Nintendo probably a release date within a short time span, is true.
For one, April 1st has always been a date to make big announcements in Japan, not one for jokes. Nintendo just learned to move that one day for westerners (:
April Fools!
Tomorrow one is never going to be sure we aren’t in that Star Trek: TNG episode with the time loops (pick one, but you know the one) - but for news.
I like how Minecraft adds fun updates for 1 April. Not the pranking.
It's a stupid concept anyway, it's never been fun except to those few people who think pranks are awesome.
I remember once as a kid I moved to a school I really liked, the kids were nice, the teachers were cool and helpful and didn't make me feel like an idiot, like I actually wanted to go to school, then April fools day comes along and my nan decided to call me and tell me the school had burnt down, this obviously made my 7 year old heart break and I started bawling worried I had to move back to the bad school, she had tried to say April fools but I threw the phone away so I didn't hear it, she never April fools me again.
Fuck April fools day, some things deserve to die and be forgotten.

Trump's first term killed April Fools
It's ruined in multiple ways.
People with low-hanging, unfunny 'pranks' or jokes.
Corporations being stupidly obvious and still trying to be hip.
Pools of people that would take great offense or lack a sense of humor.
There's just no point in it anymore.
I think corporations using it in unfunny ways to sell something is the worst and killed it for real. But all your examples are good too.
I got absolutely fooled by a tech YouTuber posting that Microsoft added OneDrive ads to the blue screen, so it felt good to get got for once.
However with real life news, I tend to agree with you. The distinction between satire and real life is getting ever more minuscule
