april fools!!!
so — it’s too late for this year, but if you’re thinking about a prank for april fools, try to:
- have it start subtle, just inside the realm of possibility
- make it progress beyond that realm, adding increasingly absurd elements
- by the end it should have fully landed as impossible to anyone who sees it
that’s a good april fools gag. these are not:
- an actor believably died
- they’re finally making that thing you wanted
“what makes you an expert, kris” you may be asking
i am an expert.
