We call it April Fool's Day, the Anglo-Saxons April Fool's Day. It sounds better, but they are the same jokes

Yesterday was April Fool’s Day for those who speak Shakespeare’s language, for that reason you did not stop reading very crazy news on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. All of them were lies. Well, not all of them, if you read any of Elon Musk’s tweets you can believe it: he is like that.

Today we do you the favor of compiling the best pranks of the technological world that were published in networks, at least those that had more impact, otherwise this article would be infinite.

A 2023 with an April Fools’ Day of the highest standard

  • Let’s start with Tinder. In the United States it seems that half of the male profiles boast of being fishermen. It must be some issue over there related to masculinity. For that reason they announced that they would delete all photos in which a man was dressed as a fisherman. It’s time to get off Tinder.
  • We continue with Nothing. Carl Pei’s tech brand is managing to carve a niche for itself thanks to its minimalist designs and quality products. That’s why when they announced a beer yesterday we were a bit… how?
  • We continue with Razer. The American brand of peripherals and computers is one of the ones that most care about April Fool’s Day and this 2023 they have made another genius, with video included. The razor mouse. Worthy of a prize.
  • The guest artist is Duolingo. The world’s most used tool for learning languages surprised us with a trailer of a reality show of pretty boys and girls who have to fall in love… but where no one speaks the same language. More applause, please.
  • We close with Elon Musk and Tesla. They could not miss the date of the innocents and they used Cybertruck for it. They released a video where they were supposed to show a crash test… and the funny thing is that it never crashes at any time. It’s like the Cybertruck itself, which never makes it to market.
  • Guest artist… Overwatch. We could not miss the opportunity to highlight that Blizzard decided to release a patch with additional voice lines to the heroes of the game where everything is jokes and memes. It is very funny and we must recognize the merit. If you found it funny you have to download the game.

As you can see, this year they have been very good on the other side of the pond with good jokes and well worked videos. For us it is complicated to work on April 1st (everything can be a lie), but for you it is a lot of fun and for that alone it is worth it.
