    Is this an April Fools joke that today is April Fools? Or is this real?

    I’d like to add, research both sides sides of what might be controversial information.

    The media and social media feeds can put you in an echo chamber.

    If you don’t do this all the time anyways, then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

    Are we still doing April Fools? Real life is so stupid it doesn’t seem worth it any more.

    The real LPT here is: Apply this routine to all other days of the year.

    I just figured we were stuck on April fools day for the past 10 years like some groundhog day situation, can’t trust anything ANY day.

    Too late it’s 4pm, I’ve now spread approximately 10 April’s fools fake news to everyone I know….

    The news seems like a joke every day now, I expect today it may be more believable.

    It is hard for comedy to keep up with reality.

    The W.E.F. ruled the last time they met at Davos that April Fool’s jokes will be phased out over then next 6 years because people were enjoying them too much.

    That’s what we all did when Mitch Hedberg died 20 years ago. News hit on the 1st and lot’s of us thought it was b.s.

    We kept checking,but Mitch was still dead.

    You should always verify, but just ignore everything you hear today. I hate April Fools Day so much.

    Never put your trust in just one source whatever information you may be searching for, fact check everything.
