April Fool's Day Roundup · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by msmash on Sunday April 1, 2018 @03:10AM from the here-we-go-again dept.

It might be a holiday for most of us today, but for tech companies, April Fool's is the day when they work overtime to send weird press releases. So far we have seen Google Maps help users find Waldo, and Google Australia rethink its brand name (to Googz). T-Mobile has revivedthe Sidekick as the world's first smart shoe phone. Google has also added a feature to its file manager app Files Go that detects bad jokes from your phone. Snapchat has finally found a way to make fun of Facebook. Languages learning app Duolingo has launched a range of craft beers. Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has launched a cryptocurrency. Some more here. What's your favorite prank so far today?

It's fitting that April Fool's and Easter are on the same day. The resurrection has got to be the greatest April Fool's joke ever.
Christianity being an anti-sex death cult is one big joke. And considering the harm that Christians have caused this country - especially the Evangelical kooks - it's a very cruel joke. All based upon a fairy tale.
