Lol. Gmail's April's Fools joke might get them sued by a lot of people.
They added a button next to the 'send mail' which appends a gif of a Minion, and makes it so that recipients are unable to respond to the mail.

The latter part of the joke has costs people who never noticed they clicked anything other than a normal send button their jobs, or had them miss out on job offers (because they sent applications that could not be responded to). Lawsuits are expected. Gmail has quickly taken the April's Fools button offline.

OH SHIT

I don't exactly get why you would disable the ability to reply to it. I get the gif thing, but why disable? Oh well, they can only really blame themselves.

It's a mic drop gif.

If the recipient doesn't care enough to just write a new e-mail they probably haven't missed out on anything.

Oh hey Planetside 2 is on steam now, huh, that's cool.
I always wanted to play it again after getting my potato computer replaced, so I think I'll do that now.

(it's been there for...
i think since release)

I did 1 April Fools joke today, and it was good.

I spent around twenty-five minutes writing an essay for an English class about comparing and contrasting two poems.

I then flipped the paper over and spent four or five minutes drawing "The" in gothic letters and made it look like that was my essay when I presented it to the teacher.

Their reaction was priceless.

I did, of course, flip the paper over after a few seconds.

i've had the best question it's possible to be asked by youtube cancer asked of me now, proof that i am finally on the level when it comes to youtube

"Are you autistic?"

i'm still not sure what that's supposed to imply, so i asked

well i said "what" but still

like I'm not autistic? but... it doesn't matter?

autism = displaying any enthusiasm or knowledge about a subject beyond the bare minimum one gleans from a 5 minute wikipedia search

everyone knows that :v

As an armchair psychologist, I can second this. You're either jaded by the world to the point that any joy or interest left in it is just a withered little stalk, or you're autistic. That's just how it is.

... Did you know that Cuttlefish, although one of the most intelligent mullosks, only lives from four months to two years? That octopi have been known to juggle crabs and sneak out of aquariums to eat fish in other aquariums? That peanut butter and grilled squid is really gross?

Also that manta rays have been proven to recognize themselves in mirrors and are the first known fish to do so? That tiger sharks give live birth to the victor of an in-womb bloodbath? And that hermit crabs, when exposed to negative stimulus when finding a new home, spend less time checking new homes in a misguided attempt to find some shelter that won't shock them?

I'm actually pretty sure they said that because i said that "kill yourself" is a "pretty fucking vile thing to say to someone" (i consider being smacked down by the poster of a video you're commenting on to be, on average, a more effective punishment than blocking or deleting, so I go with it unless the comment might cause ME trouble in the future), so you're pretty spot-on on that diagnosis there

'lol this guy is so autistic' is pretty much the modern version of 'lol this guy's got no life' merged with 'lol this guy is so gay', with a sprinkling of 'lol what a retard'. It's multifunctional with its implications. No wonder comments sections enjoy it so.

But if you wanted to say "lol this guy's got no life" or "lol this guy is so gay" or "lol what a retard" why wouldn't you say that, I'm pretty certain "lol this guy is so autistic" means "lol this guy is so autistic" and if you really wanted to say all four merged together you'd just say "lol what a retarded gay autist nolyfe"
