Okay, folks. It’s Lying Liars Who Lie Day.
Beware of new features on websites (cough-TumblrPro-cough)* and things with links that can neither confirm nor deny they go to Youtube (or in some cases that confirm they go to Youtube). If possible, avoid contact with parts of the offline world containing known or potential pranksters. If your life circumstances forbid this, my sympathies.
Good luck, everyone. Stay safe. It’s dangerous out there today.
*I watched that whole video (having been told in advance it was a video, but not what was in it) bracing for a RickRoll. Never happened. Must admit, I was too scared to click the upgrade button. Let’s see…oh dear.
