Ah, just realized what day it is

East Coast here, it's not even midnight for another 4 minutes!

The world doesnt only exist within the US timezone ;)

I don't understand. I learned in school that America is the only important country in the world.

In the real east coast April 1St ended over an hour ago

I am on the east coast and it had been April 1 for 14 hours when you posted this

But the message says it was sent on March 31st.

They just were so fucking fast they posted to the past.

A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.

I guess next year I'll have to post a joke just after midnight. I'll wake to find confusion and chaos.

Often we are not even included on maps.

the timestamp is generally local for the reader, not the poster.
