Hi! I helped review this story, and also am one of the organizers of April Cools. Two things:
1. u/obi1kenobi told me it was a real thing that happened to him
2. The point of April Cools is that the things aren't jokes. They're real essays written with care, just outside of the author's usual writing topics. Some of the other ones we got this year are about hydroponics, current events in Sumo wrestling, parenting, and decaf coffee.
- pvg 3y agothe organizers of April Cools. The org name April Tools was right there!
- festive-minsky 3y agoSorry, but why would 'April Tools' be better?
- pvg 3y agoI'm not following, better than what?
- fydorm 3y agoWhy would the replacement name you suggested be better than the actual name?
- pvg 3y agoOh, I see. It wasn't a suggestion for a replacement, hence 'org' in there since they were talking about 'organizers'. They could have called themselves the April Tools. Just a dumb joke/unmissable opportunity to call some perfectly nice-seeming internet strangers a bunch of tools.
- TwoNineFive 3y agoLike the guy said, you can't be taken seriously. That's the problem with being a April fool. You are just a funny entertaining guy. Not a source of information.
