Akwesasne April Foolists Online

Dear Monica, Do you have any fun ideas for a few April Fool’s Jokes I can send to my online friends? Nia:wen, Akwesasne Foolist

Dear Akwesasne Foolist, April Fool’s Day is one of my favorite holidays.  Of course a Google search will provide you with awesome joke ideas.  This year, YouTube tricked naive online users that it was actually just a temporary contest website and no more videos were going to be allowed after midnight.  I actually had one online friend that contacted me about it to remind me that I should make sure I have a copy of all my YouTube videos before midnight.  I did not tell him it’s an April Fool’s joke and I graciously thanked him for the reminder.

You can also search the Internet for “Fake News Generator” websites. Pranks that are fun and not considered cruel or violent are always the best choice for April Foolists because they create a fun memory for everyone involved.
