OS/2 Warp Community Announces It's Merging With the Flat Earth Society (os2world.com)
"From now on our communities will merge to became one single point of contact for OS/2 users and people investigating the truth about our planet earth," OS2World announced today.
OS2World's news master martiniturbide, also a Slashdot reader, writes: The OS/2 community expects that this action will benefit the platform by getting the funds to finally create an open source clone of OS/2. OS2World asks every OS/2 user to start believing that the earth is flat to get the "big bucks" that will finally turn the operating system into a Windows 10, Ubuntu, MacOS X and Android competitor in the final OS Wars of all ages.

Not even slightly believable.
Slashdot sucks hard on April 1st.
This Slashdot post is more recognition of the OS/2 Warp community than it got in a long while. Now all they need is to merge with the Satanic Temple and the world will be complete.
The effort of the Flat Earth Society to flat-out flatten the structure of the OS/2 Warp Society has fallen flat.
The OS/2 Warp Society maintains its warped structure and no one can imagine what kind of warped thiinking is required to belive that it can be flattened.
Its not fun, its a waste of time and resources.
I bet you don't get invited to many parties.
No sig today...
always a belieber...

I think he meant the OS2 Warp users.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for the OS/2 folks to hook up with the anti-VAXxers?
The "stories" were clearly not true to anyone who had some brains, for example the famous spaghetti tree story.
Easy to say now, but in the England of 1957, spaghetti was an exotic foreign food known mostly to soldiers returned from the war in Italy.
Numerous countries have already banned April fools, the Republic of San Serriffe being the latest.
Its time we did the same.
Quite, if the headline had been Republican Party Announces It's Merging With the Flat Earth Society I might have been tempted to believe it for a few seconds.
But if the headline had been Donald Trump Announces Membership in the Flat Earth Society it would have been too believable to be funny. A good April fools joke should be both funny and believable. It should definitively not be a sad reminder of the reality we live in.

Actually, if you think about it it's completely implausible. The flat earth society operates on a much higher intellectual plain than both Trump and the Republicans.
Aw come on, I still enjoy them. Much better to read a prank than to be the target of a prank.
Incipiamus, fratres, servire Domino Deo, quia hucusque vix vel parum in nullo profecimus.
Didn't this happen in roughly 1995 already?
You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you
April Fools day on the internet should be International Critical Thinking day. A day to teach what everyone should be practicing 365 days a year.
