The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

If I have to work, I don’t consider it a holiday.

Ditto.

I honestly didn’t realize yesterday was April Fools Day until I read this post a few minutes ago. I worked all day, and I’m a little sick, so I read a book, ate dinner, chatted with my partner who never mentioned it, and I went to bed early.

I guess it just depends on where you live and who you’re around. I don’t work in a particularly serious workplace or anything, and I interact with people through the day, but I guess everyone was just like, “nah” on AFD this year. And because I wasn’t on social media or Lemmy etc much yesterday, I didn’t even notice.

Fine by me.

Tell us your labour laws could be improved without saying as much.

I demand April fools day be deemed a federal holiday! Let’s not stop there, opposite day should be officially recognized as well.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
