I think it is a lot of fun to get to have your own personal avatar, it should make each person more unique. I think it is somewhat strange that so many people have spongebob avatars though. I wouldn't think that so many people who are into bitcoin would be into spongebob

Lol. I didn't know so many people were into blazing houseplants either.
It seem from reading this thread that somehow people see their avatar differently if they use a secondary account. Why someone would want to use more then one account is beyond me.

I am using an avatar that represents my favorite football team. Does it show as a houseplant when you look at it?

This is you:


Just read some posts of the thread. Avatars will work normally tomorrow.

LOL that looks nothing like me. Funny April fools joke

403  Other / Politics & Society / New phone app will bring women together more easily through 'cat connectivity' on: April 01, 2015, 03:41:25 PM

Quote
This just in - the leading app for lesbian and bisexual women, HER, will relaunch as HER: Cat.

After extensive analysis on users’ behaviour on the platform, it was observed that it was users’ pets - cats, specifically - that made lesbians connect with each other. HER users that do not have pictures of cats in their profiles will have their photos switched to cat photographs by the app. “On HER, you were 1200% more likely to get a match if you had a cat on your profile. It didn’t matter if it was yours, your crazy exs or Taylor Swift’s”, said Robyn Exton, CEO and founder of HER. “It’s a stereotype that lesbians love cats, but our data shows it’s actually true: they really love cats. In testing, we’ve seen a 89% increase of number of matches per user and 175% raise of average session time”.

On Wednesday, the new version of the app will be available to every user that has HER installed on their phones. A video explaining the changes will be published on HER Facebook’s account. Look, they mean it too - they've even got the website.

Dog lovers can finally communicate with man's best friend – by going on a new course to learn how to reply to barks, reports Groupon on April 1. "From today", Groupon is offering the new six-week course trial period, which has been developed by the Pet Auditory Welfare Service (PAWS).

PAWS analysed more than 2,000 different barks from 150 different breeds – from beagles to boxers. Customers will first learn how to understand what their pooch is trying to tell them, by studying the length, pitch and loudness of the woofs. Next they are taught to reply by using a short series of specially formulated doggie yaps.

Examples of phrases they can teach are:
"Stop looking at me like that - this is my dinner"
"Shall we go for a walkies?"
"I think it's time you had a bath."
“I promise you, fireworks will not kill you”
“Fart again and I’ll put you outside”

The team translated different barks by scrutinising the length, cadence and pitch of both individual yelps and "phrases". Pets really are fair game this year, aren't they?

Dedicated dog walker, Hannah Howard, 30, from Bromley, Kent, learnt to speak dog after taking an online e-learning course from Groupon, helping her to 'truly understand' what her dog was saying.

Developed by the Pet Auditory Welfare Service, (PAWS), the course analysed over 2,000 different barks from 150 different breeds of dogs to interpret the length, cadence and pitch of both individual barks and ‘phrases’ to develop a dialect that humans could recreate in order to communicate with their dogs.

ps. in the American version, when someone says a wrong answer, do they play that annoying sound that sounds super negative?
That buzzer sound is actually quite popular. It's used on many tv and radio shows when a bad or wrong answer is given. On Family Feud it was accompanied by up to 3 big red strikes ("X"s) on the screen. (Usually shown in front of the answer board.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ9-9QUylYs


I have a funny memory from high school about that buzzer. One day a kid in my class brought one in to school that he got from the board game version and everytime someone got a question wrong he pressed it. Was pretty funny. Our teacher got pretty mad after a while.

the details on this forum is scanty and not satisfying please give us a more clearer picture and understanding of your topic

I have no idea what this is about either, but I have to say my favourite bitcoin-related april fools has been the one perpetrated by the admins of this forum with the avatars. I was quite confused as to why everybody had chosen to have bitcoin memes as their avatar. I was worried there was some secret bitcoin club I wasnt a part of that had conspired to use bitcoin only memes.

theymos pulled the best prank today! Grin

Here's some great April fool's pranks to play on your coworkers in the office.

Render their mouse useless.


Set this as their desktop wallpaper.


Tape this behind their office door. (Maybe move it around from one office to another.)


Get rid of the 'Men's Room'.

that 1 eyed woman from futurama could have 1 boob.
If women only had one Boob instead of two would it then be called a Dob?

Thank you for the warning KonstantinosM! whew! Don't need to see that!




Looks like Gleb changed the link.  THIS ONE is of 4 beautiful naked women.  No joke.  Smiley

Here's a couple prank avatars you may consider using for today, theymos.
417  Other / Meta / Re: Avatars re-enabled on: April 01, 2015, 12:41:34 PM
Let's see what would happen when the clock come to April 2rd(UTC).
Smiley

If you especially dislike the avatar you were given, uploading a new avatar (or reuploading your current one) will give you a random new one. If anyone has any ideas for more "fool" avatars to add, post them here and I might add them later today.

The avatar feature will work properly after April 1.

Incredible! I thought for sure this was an April fools' joke!
Thank you theymos!

Did you really upload a QR code or is it something different apart from what am I seeing right now? I see some doge memes and avatars here right now.  Grin  Grin  Grin

I edited my comment.

This is the image I uploaded for my avatar.

<edit> LOL! After reading some of the other comments I see now it may very well be.

I just signed out to see my avatar and it was indeed different from the one I uploaded.  Grin
