Ok I've narrowed it down to my top 4

My interest in attending a Texas Rangers game has exponentially curved upwards

Oh so now copyright matters.

The good news is: as far as I can tell, virtually nothing that's been said there has ever really mattered at all.

I've had stuff blow up there a few times, and my policy/advice is: never, ever look. Not at all. Not for any length of time. Don't even open the page. If at all possible, avoid knowing it's even there.

To read Hacker News comments expecting positivity is to search the desert for a popsicle.

We'll know for sure time travel is never real if this President is in the same room as this Supreme Court and nothing happens.

it's always okay to do an april fool's on linkedin. no one will get mad if you do an april fool's on linkedin

April fools only works when reality isn't this stupid.

Hating Metroid Prime 4 is my emotional support gimmick.

I know it's a longshot but I'm still hoping Nintendo announces Metroid Prime 4 was an April Fool's joke

A NY Times notification: "Why go back to the moon? For the attorneys of NASA's Artemis II mission scheduled to launch Wednesday, the answer is simple."

Revenge.

Doing a bit where I interrupt everyone who mentions Easter to correct them "you mean 'more Eastern'"

The rhyming scheme in the chorus of "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" by REO Speedwagon is appropriate, because it's AAAAAAAAA

Gonna just go ahead and make enemies of everyone here by saying Zelda II.

Though I might also make a case for Twilight Princess.

I have played and replayed every Zelda game that matters, and will probably continue to do so until I die, but:

"How are these CEOs so out of touch with reality?"

Because they're dumb teenagers.

"How do these CEOs not understand their customers?"

It's hilarious to think that the all-time most-depicted character in artwork is most likely Jesus, but after that it's probably like Chun-Li or Tifa or Sonic the Hedgehog

Ever since I started thinking of the tech industry as a kind of elite high school where idiot teenage CEOs just make up stupid shit purely to impress each other, for the benefit of literally nobody outside their social circles, the whole thing has honestly made a whole lot more sense to me.

Surprised not to see OK Computer already listed here.

I would've guessed that if you tried set two different Node versions in two different places in dashboard, Netlify might show you some kind of warning somewhere...but I guess I would've been wrong. 🙃
