> set the baa for a new branch of quantum physics I'll admit I got a few paragraphs in before that made it click.

I got to "Mary Little" before I realised my virtual leg was being pulled.

Deary me. Hope Mary Little's lamb is doing well.

How did they prank you, what did they do?

I'd rather not go into detail, but in short they sent an official email from their real noreply address, "signed" by their CEO, saying my data has been compromised. "What Data?"... Click the link... Just kidding, April Fools you stupid moron. I replied that they've lost a customer. They replied with a link to talk to their AI bot.

Yeah I have to agree with your reaction to this one.

Is this the VPN you're talking about?

I'm not sure what's supposed to be publication-worthy here. This is common knowledge for anyone who's ever interacted with sheep on a farm, in their natural, fermionic superfluid state. If you turn over a sheep and tickle its ticklish underbelly, you get a sheep-laugh (a hilarious sound) only about 50% of the time; the other 50%, you'll hear a sheep laughing from the opposite end of the meadow. Because, you cannot de…

It's interesting that they noticed it right in the vicinity of the LHC, maybe this hints at some kind of leak?

The one in my garden always watches me through the window then I turn on the vacuum, so maybe it's feeling some kind of oddity with the electric motor. It's an old 3500 Watts one, which is now illegal to sell, and badly shielded.

Why can't they find out why no one has done anything interesting in theoretical physics in 50 years? This stuff is lame in 2025.

Maybe review the last 25 years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_fundamental_physic...

That's all experimental physics, not theoretical physics.

That seems like obvious enough of a fake.

It is not going to stop. :P It feels like every day is April 1.

Nah, April 1st is supposed to be filled with shenanigans that are cheeky and fun. Every day is now filled with shenanigans that are cruel and tragic. Which makes them not really shenanigans at all, really. Evil shenanigans.

So sheep are fermions? Is that why you can't have two sheep at the same place in the state? (up and down sheep can be stacked no problem, there's plenty of empirical evidence of this)
