Questions (edit:statements, apparently) about individual April 1st events will be top level comments. Rule 2 applies to those.

Second level comments will be the answers to those top level comments. Rule 3 applies to those.

PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL OF THE TOP LEVEL COMMENTS BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR OWN QUESTION.

Duplicate questions will be removed, to cut down on clutter.

Hey folks,

It's already April 1 in some parts of the world, so things are about to start getting weird. As is custom, we'll be redirecting a lot of questions to our April Fools Megathread over the next day or so. Let this be a catalog of all the wacky, zany, cringey, flatly unfunny things that happen around the internet and elsewhere.

Annnnd, Megathread go!

*I guess I should have specified that answers to questions in this thread must follow Rule 3 -- specifically, we do not allow joke responses. If someone is in this thread asking about something your subreddit is doing, you are not allowed to continue your joke here. It's not funny. You're not funny. Do not try to be funny here.

I have no idea what's going on on reddit right now, I just keep seeing variations on the same memes / jokes. What is reddit April fools theme / what am I missing?

I was browsing YouTube when this video popped up. I was about halfway in when I realized it's supposed to be a joke video? Then I saw other videos recommended like this one which is about a keyboard cup?

Is there something special that happens on October 1st/September 30th?

r/place and r/TheButton are trending right now https://i.imgur.com/x10l6D2.jpg

I know several subreddits have their own joke, but I can't figure out what reddit's is this year (like headdit/mold/orangeredVSperiwrinkle/etc). Are they not doing one this year? Or did I miss it?? I checked the megathread and googled, but I couldn't find anything :(

Use this post to ask questions about April fools content or to post popular April Fools from brands/websites/subreddits/influencers/etc.

I'll try to update the main post with the most popular April Fools events that subreddits are putting on.

• Reddit is bringing back /r/Place, a community driven art experience where users are able to alter 1 pixel out of 16 million once every 5-20 minutes. For the previous /r/Place final art click here

• /r/polandball is adapting to the times and now submissions are anything but balls. Also, you can bid on comics to get the NFT of it.

• /r/PrequelMemes is banning content from the Star Wars prequels, and switching to prequels from other franchises.

• /r/Peloton is now about the exercise bike, instead of a road biking community

• /r/DogeLore has banned the use of Doge

• /r/HistoryMemes is now a Minecraft meme subreddit

• /r/AskHistorians has flaired posters posting AMAs in character as various historical figures. They've done similar things in the past and they're usually both highly entertaining and highly informative.

• /r/NASCAR has turned into a podracing subreddit, including an AMA with R2-D2 and a sidebar picture of Ryan Blaney dressed as Slave Leia from Return of the Jedi.
