Am I the only one seeing the '90s retro theme, with the unicorns and sparkles?

Greatly appreciate the popup that lets you disable the joke interface. Much appreciated.

Why are all the answers for this question not "yes". What is wrong with everyone.

Ugh. A good joke would be to have no crappy joke one year, and then tell everyone that they should look out for a good one next year. Repeat.

Very similar to slashdot&#x27;s pink unicorn theme &#x27;prank&#x27; years ago.<p>This is the lamest holiday. I hope I live to see it retired.

One of the more obnoxious “pranks” I’ve seen in a while, especially since it turns itself back on on every single visit.

I despise globocorporate April Fools pranks as much as anyone but the aesthetic here is really well done.

The mildly ironic fact is that those effects are created using modern CSS&#x2F;JS resources and not just &lt;table&gt;s in true 90s way

This is so good, and really takes me back to that time.<p>For some context, I&#x27;ve recently been particularly interested in listening to CDs (I even just bought a CD-ROM burner today, wtf...), learning programming languages from books, and trying not to stream things. So, maybe I&#x27;m stuck in the past, but I&#x27;m super grateful for this particular joke. It gives me a really warm feeling in my heart :)<p>Thanks to those developers who put this together, and I hope that we can all take the hint and slow the f* down, study the capabilities of the technologies we&#x27;ve built, and figure out how to save the planet (and the human civilizations it&#x27;s grown) from itself.
