Another rotation around the Sun has brought us to THIS moment. This fixed point in Time.

Again I say unto thee Tyrants, go forth and gather the japes, jibes, jokes and shenaniganry! Bring them hither that we may all enjoy!

And again, haters, make your own thread.

I really love that Duolingo itself has embraced the meme that Duo the owl will do something evil to you if you don't do your lessons. Also this is really impressive for a joke, wonder if they'll roll out those costumes again someday for something else.

Yeah, I love how much fun they have with that kind of thing.

And they’ve been using those costumes for a while, but mostly in their social presence. The Duolingo YouTube channel is a wonderful mix of in-depth talks about how they do what they do and extremely silly jokes. A recent example:

Now Duolingo has posted a full, minute-long version of the “Spanish or Vanish” song from the previous video, and, um, they are definitely leaning even further into that meme.

Batocera had parts of the emulation community freaking out overnight claiming they were pulling out emulation of all Nintendo hardware (naturally this was just an April Fools gag...).

Stone Brewing's negative alcohol beer

We achieve this through a process called "reverse fermentation" wherein our proprietary bizzaro yeast eats ethanol and CO2 and converts that matter into simple glucose, fructose and sucrose. (The spent grain from this process is not suitable for livestock to consume as it is essentially highly alcohol-dense oatmeal.)

Find Stone IPA SUB-ZERØ in shops near you next to the anti-gravity soda and reverse-gluten bread.

siivagunner's absurd april fools joke also deserves mentioning.

They changed their format so that instead of all their uploads pretending to be real VGM, they instead pretended to be the kind of clickbaity/memey music edits proliferating youtube these days. they got some real next-level jokes going on:
