Beware of April Fools Day!

Do we just tail between our legs, go in in the class like nothing happened, or do we stay outside and just wait it out? And of course, we waited it out because we thought this is just going to become more funny or funnier as the time goes on. But we just kind of dug in and realizing that it was going sideways fast and just really didn't know what to do

Why I am the Scrooge of April 1st

I hear you! Thank you for this post.

Your 16 year old daughter is pregnant. Yeah. How funny is that? Now I'm thinking in terms of okay, today's April Fools Day, Tim for traditional pranks. But you know how on social media, there are a lot of prank videos where people set this up and they do these pranks or Halloween pranks where someone comes in. It's scary. And my biggest regret is, I mean, years ago, years, years ago, my dad and my mom, I'm sorry

First post ever on Swell

Like how Bookish Podcast was saying with the horror pranks on YouTube, like, people scaring other people wearing, like, creepy outfits and stuff. I think I don't know. I think I think maybe some of that can go a little bit too far

Is this something that can morph into something else? And I think Google actually thought through that because they announced today I saw that they are not allowing any pranks from their own accounts or from a corporate standpoint. And they did the same thing last year, and it was just out of a now is not the time. And I kind of agree with that

Hey, Phil, thanks for applying to my post. You know, it kind of brings into question, like, what should be considered a. Like a good prank? Like what should be considered not too far, so, Yeah

@Nic572 what’s not too far?

Okay. I'm not so sure about what's a good prank and what's not too far, because here's the thing. If you're going to play a prank on me, it may be that you may think it's not too far. You may think the bucket of water is fine, but maybe it just was something that I did not like I did not appreciate

@bookishpodcast

Yes. I think you're absolutely right about that. I didn't even think about that. You kind of have to look at the perspective of the person who is playing the prank and then the person who is being pranked. If you're the person that's playing the prank, you probably don't even think about how this other person is going to feel if you prank them. And usually pranks are kind of a surprise to people

Projecting our own reality, triggers, and trauma #psychology #empathy

First I want to say great points and perspectives. I would add the concept of projection and potential trauma or to any of us could seem basic to others may be the biggest trigger to a trauma. We often project our own reality to others and to avoid or prevent doing this is an interesting exercise that we I believe should focus on and improve over time

@Nic572 @bookishpodcast here’s an example of not going too far

So on that day, they bring out all the priests, the retired priests, the Deacons, you know, everyone. And apparently the pastor and associate pastor wanted to see how many people of their fellow clergy members they could make laugh during the service without the parishioners us in the seats knowing. And so there was like confetti hidden in the binder that or funny pictures
