Someone does this every year and the jokes still dominate the front page. Some people get upset about this and some people let those people know that it's not a big deal because it's only one day out of the year. This discussion is repeated on every joke submission.

<meta>Next year, I'm going to cite your comment in the 2014 version of this thread and say "And someone will comment ahead of time, explaining what will inevitably happen throughout the day"</meta>

  Funniest thing is that someone said that in the 2011 version. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2394349 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2394349

Heck if I know, I submit April Fool's articles like Linus joins Microsoft to develop Windows 9. The submission gets flagged and my account temporarily not allowed to submit any more. I was submitting blog posts on technologies and startups and used a bit of a sense of humor as well, but the whole blog is blocked now and appears the entries are in "the phantom zone" or whatever. I don't really think that Hacker News has a sense of humor, and if it does, a majority of the people hate me for some odd reason to flag my submissions, while upvoting on other submissions that repost what I submitted but made the front page?
