Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

Google Japan always pulls a joke about how they've developed a new better Google Japanese Keyboard.

So far there's been a spoon you bend to different angles to select characters, and a giant keyboard key you wear as a hat and use by reaching up and spinning it to point in the cardinal direction of a given character, and then enter it by pressing the single giant key-hat thing.

It's especially funny with Google being such a massive monolithic company, and there's the Japanese branch just doing their own thing.

I also participate in the Titanfall modding scene, and each year for April fools the Northstar master server displays everything in uwu language.
