Get Fascinated with 6 Facts About April Fool’s Day!

Have you ever wondered about the origins of April Fools’ Day? Let’s dive into its history and discover some interesting facts about this playful holiday!

1.Mystery of April Fool’s Day History

The true history of April Fool’s Day is still unknown. But some historians believe it goes back to a calendar change in the 16th century. Before the modern Gregorian calendar we use today, New Year’s Day was celebrated on April 1st! When the calendar switch occurred, some people resisted and insisted on celebrating the new year on April 1st. This led to them being called “April fools” – possibly the origin of the holiday’s name!

2.Gained Popularity During 1700’s

During this period, April Fools’ Day gained popularity in Britain and later spread to Scotland. In Scotland, April Fools’ Day is celebrated as a two-day event, with the second day dedicated to “back side” pranks, such as attaching fake animal tails to unsuspecting friends!

3.Different Opinion Of Different People

Opinions on pranks may seem universally positive, but recent polls reveal a stark divide. According to a recent survey, 45% of adults find pranks amusing, while 47% consider them annoying!

4.Unbelievable Hoaxes Throughout the Years

One of the notable April Fools’ Day pranks took place relatively recently, in 2008, orchestrated by none other than the BBC. Known for its reputable nature documentaries, including the highly acclaimed Planet Earth series, the BBC aired a completely fabricated special that claimed penguins had evolved the ability to fly. This elaborate and costly hoax fooled millions into believing the improbable, only to later reveal it as a clever prank.

5.When April Fools’ Day Pranks Take a Turn for the Worse

One infamous instance of a prank gone awry is the “Jafr alien invasion” incident. In 2008, a well-known newspaper reported that UFOs had touched down in a nearby desert. The news sparked immediate panic in the town, with some parents even opting to keep their children home from school. The mayor mobilized preparations for the evacuation of 13,000 residents before the newspaper eventually disclosed it was all a hoax. They insisted it was never their intent to cause alarm. This serves as a stark example of a prank spiraling out of control!

6.April Fools’ Day Pranks: All in Good Fun

In a timeless April Fools’ Day prank, the BBC orchestrated a memorable event in 1957. Broadcasting a television special, they showcased spaghetti trees purportedly capable of yielding freshly grown pasta. The segment sparked an unexpected flurry of inquiries from viewers eager to purchase these mythical trees. However, the BBC swiftly clarified the following day that the entire broadcast was indeed a hoax!

Enjoy April Fools’ Day Safely and Respectfully!

Why are you wiping out all of the people in you tagged list?

I’m wiping everything clear because on a weekly basis (when I posted new works every day) I was tagging 1,000+ times, and it grew exhausting, especially when NO ONE out of any of them aside from a select few would even respond to it. I got more likes and reblogs from people who aren’t tagged than people that were. The tagging was getting so exhausting and had little reward, so I cleaned them out.

Now I’ve made new rules that if you as to be added onto any taglist (which iku most certainly can do!) and do not react to multiple posts in a row, I will remove you from your designated list(s). It’s actually really stressing tagging everyone only to get no reaction from it - hell, I was actually so close to saying that there would be no taglists at all, but a few friends told me that wouldn’t be fair to the people who were reacting to what I wrote. The only times people on series interacted with with me in the form of comments or reblogs in each chapter were in only two different series, and those taglists - Hello, Hello and Just Another Failed Romance - will remain the same because of that. I will be tagging people in those taglists to tell them that they are still there and not to worry, because a few have been worried.

Thank you for reading.
