April, april din dumma sill!

Idag är det den första april, skojarnas alldeles egna dag. Jag har surfat runt och samlat ihop de aprilskämt som förtjänar att hållas fram lite extra.

Netflix satsar på en lång video med Will Arnett och jag ör inte säker på om det är ett skämt, satir eller något annat.

Netflix Live is a beautiful, Will Arnett-narrated ASMR experience (and a prank) – The Verge

In a decent dunk on Facebook Live, Netflix is now showing a sneak peak of “Netflix Live” — a live stream of “life’s biggest thrills,” featuring Will Arnett. “Toasters toasting. Grass growing. Fans blowing.”Yes, we’re hitting the annual brand apocalypse known as April Fools’ Day, where companies try to convince us of their most “hilarious” stupid ideas, like Roku’s SnackSuggest, or Hulu’s eight-second summary channel Hu. But there really are 48 prerecorded, watchable minutes of Arnett doing a bizarre ASMR narration. It’s a stream-of-consciousness discussion touching on everything from copy machines to parallel parking. The video is mesmerizing, in the way that only a husky-voiced celebrity talking about mundane things on a Friday morning could be.

Google har dammat av ett gammalt skämt istället för Pac-Man så är det MS Pac-man.

Google Maps morphs into Ms. Pac-Man for April Fools’ Day – The Verge

Looks like Ms. Pac-Man has paid a visit to the Google Maps app. Every year on April Fools’ Day, Google puts out a bunch of prank videos and Easter eggs, and it looks like the team is revisiting an old idea for 2017.To find Ms. Pac-Man, open up your Google Maps app and click on the pink button on the right. Unlike the Pac-Man integration from 2015’s prank, it doesn’t turn your current location into the game level. Instead, you’re taken to a random spot in the world and get five lives to outrun the ghosts. (Edit: some users are reporting that the iOS version lets you pick the map, while Android takes you to randomized spots.)
