happy April fool’s btw
Good April’s Fool joke!
Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!
On this day, as well as in the 28th of December, when we celebrate the Spanish equivalent, I don, t believe anybody or anything!!!
Considering the delay some stuff has, I extend it to roughly a week.
I was only saved from eating the onion because I was updating a spreadsheet and had to enter the date about 15 minutes before I saw the headline.

God I fucking hate April fools Day.
no, fuck you. if people are like “I like the super mario movie!” and another person is like “actually it’s terrible fanservice slop”, that’s when this comic is appropriate. But in this case, people are upset because april fools is full of bullshit lies and people rightly don’t like being lied to just because it’s a silly day.
people are upset because april fools is full of bullshit lies
Unlike every other day where the Internet is the bastion of truth and reality.
At least then the lies have reason. It’s fucked up reason, but it’s reason.
April fools day is FUCKING LYING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE AND LIE FOR THE SAKE OF IT.
And notebly shit like this actually can cause real problems. Iv seen April fools jokes cause thousands in lost dollars because of stock swings due to this bull shit for example
People ACTUALLY get hurt over this crap too. It’s REALLY fucking annoying.
Have people always had his opinion? I swear I’ve never seen pushback for April Fools joke articles in the past. Hell, they were anticipated because of fun ones like Blizzard.
Just the “kicked off of every other platform” crybabies that have settled on Lemmy doing what they do
Anything you can think of, there’s probably a whole group of people who hate it.
You probably stay away from people like that in your real life, but through the magic of the Internet they get to sit in your living room and yell at you to stop having fun.
Seems to be more prevalent here on the fediverse specifically
If you find yourself falling for these kinds of jokes then you may need to reconsider how you evaluate news.
People get hurt on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
I have no sympathy for day traders
Back in the Slashdot days, where they let this shit run wild, I hated this day every year.
But ponies!
ZOMG PONIES11!!11
I miss those days. When people don’t have as big of a stick up their ass about one day a year of fun.
Reddit had a couple of good ones. Reddit mold and the original Place was funny
I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak’s voice.
No, fuck you!
Like someone else said, I’m glad lying on the internet is only limited to one day… wait……
Dumbass.
No.
Them expressing a personal dislike of something is not the same as trying to stop others from enjoying it
We’re fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it’s just another jolt of alarm that my system can’t keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.
It’s great being in a time zone where it’s already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you’ve made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here’s another day of it except ramped up to 11.
I genuinely feel for you. I have NEVER liked April fools jokes.
April’s fools Day is every day.
It feels like that doesn’t it?
Made me do a double take. The way the world is right now, it wouldn’t be the most shocking thing.
Im still waiting for the foretold Oscar Mayer-Intel
I’m more curious about Starbucks Exotic Coffee for Men
I fucking hate April Fools
Not sure why you got downvoted, you made a compelling argument.
I read this from the start with the mind that it’s probably an April fool’s joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It’s just a long article that could be true but isn’t. Stupid and a waste of time.
Well, it closes with:
At press time, the companies said the deal was expected to close shortly after the industry finished checking the calendar.
I agree, but it’s still better than the “pranks” that hugely wink at you and think they’re clever, but they’re obviously some marketing team trying to come up with ideas that aren’t offensive… yeah, I said it, this dreck is better than that dreck. heh.
I’m annoyed because I only saw it on my feed today. Luckily I was about 2 sentences in before I checked the date.
this article has apparently caused AMD +3.61% ▲ and Intel INTC +8.84% ▲
We already knew stock price wasn’t tied to reality
Obviously not when AMD lapped Intel in market cap.
What was even their moat, dependence on TSMC to fab their chips?
Wouldn’t the SEC look upon jokes like this poorly?
SEC? In this day and age? Yeah… right…
Depends on the bribe amount (or lack of)
They would if AMD actually announced something like this.
This is entirely a Techspot joke, there is no AMD press release: https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-release-search.html
This shit is dumb. It was dumb on Reddit and it is dumb here. Why do we want to make ourselves suffer obnoxious fake news once a year?

Reddit didn’t invent April fools day, why give them credit they don’t deserve if you dislike them?
Reddit went absolutely bonkers overboard every year with dumb April Fools posts to the point where it crowded out every real topic and made the site unusable for the day, even back in the early days when it was otherwise very usable.
I personally never saw that level of bullshit overload anywhere else.
One of the things I like about Lemmy is that it avoids (somewhat) the everybody-piles-on-same-joke plagues that swept through Reddit. I’m hoping we as a community can keep avoiding them (somewhat)
Sorry for all you beans and Stör enjoyers. This place is big enough for the both of us but sometimes it does get uncomfortable.
once a year?
Ah shit lol.
Next up: Boeing Buys Airbus 🤣
RISC-V buys NVIDIA
Pepsi buys Coca-Cola
That wouldn’t be too far fetched. Pepsi is a much larger company than Coca-Cola. Practically everything in the snack aisle is owned by Pepsi.
Some of the companies/brands that PepsiCo already owns: Frito-Lay, Quaker, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Naked, etc.
If you’ve got no taste;)
If, it would be the other way around.
Nah, I wanna ruin air travel 😈
OK then it’s correct 😁
lol. Nice April Fools post. I think the cruelest tech related Aprils fools post I’ve seen claimed that Apple was open sourcing their x86 MacOS versions. Creating a Mac binary compatible BSD distro. That really hurt. I love OSx/2010s MacOS. Nothing on Linux or BSD side comes close. I am really holding out hope for RayvnOS.
Rumors say they will buy Nvidia after.
