Poll: Do you still care about April Fools Day?

It was never really a big deal to me, and today it's just a 24 hour period of never believing anything I read/see/hear on the internet. So no, not really.
Don't really care about it.
I'm surprised no one of my friends tried to prank me or anything. The day is already passed and I'm glad it's over with since now we won't get fake news anymore just because it's April's Fools.

No, I actually hate it.
You either get try hards who just pull really small things that are more of an annoyance than anything else and get insanely overjoyed at their nonsense.
Or you get the occasional ass who "pulls a prank" to be a jerk. For example, today I had a class that is 4 hours of lecture with a lunch break in between. The lunch break approaches and the teacher looks at the clock and is like how about we just take a 10 minute break, skip lunch, and I'll let you guys out an hour early. I currently have a broken foot so I get a ride from a friend to class and I had to call him and ask to come an hour early. So the time to leave rolls around and I raise my hand and I ask why are we continuing on to a new topic when he said we could go early. The professor gives me the biggest shit eating grin and smugly says "April Fools". I stuffed my things into my bag, and hobbled out the door.

Same here.Comocat said:
If it's good then yeah, I'm gonna get a little fun.
Personally, I don't pull pranks but I'm not afraid to laugh at myself.
I stopped finding April Fools funny after someone used it to fool me into thinking that one of my friends got hit by a car and was in hospital.
Sure; it's the day all the reviewnertaners (people who make real or fake reviews that are actually scripted skits performed by actors) get really creative. It's also the day amusing things tend to happen in MMOs.
It used to be that as a kid, I'd cut up little fish out of cardboard and stick them to the backs of my classmates on April Fools day - as it's called "Poisson d'avril" in French ("April Fish", if translated). That was the extent of my average pranks.
The first person to prank me on the first of April gets a chuckle out of me, now. Five or six pranks in, the joke stops being funny. As has been said before, only review-tainers and MMO designers seem to keep the monopoly of timely and appreciated pranks.

Eh, it's kinda boring. It's a day where I can safely ignore all tech news and gaming news though, so I get a bit of a break =D
I dislike it. It means that the internet is full of even more rubbish than usual, even news websites take part now, and people I know start posting stupid things on facebook and then go 'APRIL FOOLS LOLOLOLOLOLOL'. Though it does give me a reason to avoid the internet for a day, which could be seen as a good thing...
