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.

> It's an old 3500 Watts one That's a stupid big motor for a vacuum. What was it made to vacuum up, bowling balls? Boulders? Neutron star dust? (Seriously though, I'd like to know the model to check it out)

At 3500 watts, I assume it has the Acme logo on the side.

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.

If you want mind-expandingly interesting theoretical physics, give the Wolfram Physics Project[1] a look. It is a refreshingly different look at fundamental physics, and one that is perhaps more familiar to a computer scientist's perspective than, say, quantum mechanics.

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…

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)

No matter how hard you try.

+1 for lack of surprise, but that's very interesting about the tickle - must be a lot of fun

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.

All this negativity here. I, for one, enjoy silly April's Fools jokes once a year.

HN is not exactly known for its sense of humour.

I find this hard to believe, can you provide the links to at least 2 reputable publications that corroborate your claims ?

- "So sheep are fermions?"

Have you ever seen two sheep spinning in the same direction while superimposed in the same physical volume? Outside of Minecraft.

Ah, I see it's useless internet day, catch you all tomorrow.

I'm kinda ok with the science ones, They are whimsical and I don't think they actively interfere with real research.

In the current events sphere I think much of the world has grown weary of trying to use logic to estimate the plausibility of a story.

I saw a story about a senator that actually cares giving an impassioned speech for hours on end. Remember the times when that actually happened.
