Well, it's that time of the year again. Time for jokes and famous hoaxes as the Internet celebrates April Fools!

Know Your Meme's AF 2018 is MemeX in which we store numerous Internet memes onto the MemeX gallery so that it can be sent into space.

4chan's April Fools is a poll between 5 Easter flavors: Team Creme, Team Peep, Team Peanut Butter, Team Mini, and Team Chocolate. When you post on any board, you get an assigned team.

Dragon Ball changed their website to Android 17.com to celebrate his victory in the Tournament of Power.

Anything else?

Site Wise:
Newgrounds isn’t doing anything abnormal
Pornhub changed their site name to HornHub and has pictures and videos of horns.
Google isn’t doing anything (yet)

Toei is planing a magazine to be released featuring members of Faust from Kamen Rider Build.

Warframe is offering the "Tenno's Best Friend Genetic Upgrade Pack" which is a reference to a glitch back when the Specters of the Rails expansion first released.

Mother's Basement did a parody of WatchMojo's Top 10 Anime Betrayals. It starts as a legitimate list with occasional jabs at WatchMojo, but quickly devolves into Corry in the House and just straight up calling other Anime Youtubers out.

Two Fortnite related ones:

r/FortNiteBR Made the avatar that shows up next to usernames all a gif of Rust Lords doing the Take the L emote (the Rust Lord skin has become associated with "players most likely to engage in bad manners").

Epic Games themselves changed the Impulse Grenade for one day only that launches players so high into the air it almost outright guarantees a kill via fall damage, and screws with players who like to use the grenades on themselves to get close to enemy players for a shotgun kill.

And now for others:

Battlerite's official site is selling body pillow covers for a limited time (no covers of Blossom though).

343 Industries made a detailed joke reddit post saying the next Halo game is a free to play Battle Royale title (though seriously I wouldn't be surprised if Halo 6 has a Battle Royale game mode).

Remedy Entertainment (Max Payne 1 and 2 and Alan Wake) made a video where creative director (and the face of Max Payne in the first game) Sam Lake says the company is quitting video games and becoming a coffee company.

Black Mesa's developers made a Steam thread saying the game would get a Battle Royale mode and loot boxes.

Overkill Software released a video for a fake "Payday: Animated Series" that calls back to 80s and 90s cartoons based on movies and video games that were aimed at adults but yet got a cartoon aimed at kids.

and Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse made a Twitter post saying loot boxes and horse skins are coming to the game.

/r/yiffinhell (an anti-furry community) became "pro-furry" for the day, with the owner announcing they were "coming out" as a furry (they even copied the subreddit design of /r/furry).

And on the other side, the AutoModerator in /r/furry_irl is apparently deleting comments that don't have an "OwO" in them.
