The first day of April has passed, and with it came many April Fool's jokes on the Internet
The tech and gadget world is known for its antics on April Fool's day, with some jokes and pranks being more memorable than others. This playful day of mischief often extends beyond personal interactions to involve publishing elaborate hoaxes. These pranks, ranging from the believable to the absurd, are typically revealed as such the following day, adding to the amusement of the occasion.
1. This multi-armed gaming chair from Razer that could help you with a lot of things
The latest Razer Cthulhu gaming chair boasts eight separate robotic arms designed to fulfil all your requirements. While the idea of being shaved by a straight razor operated by this chair still gives us pause, we're cautiously optimistic about its capabilities.
We wish this chair was real, though, as it could be very useful for helping out with chores and such.
2. BURGA caught us off guard with a lineup of awesome-looking cases for the notoriously indestructible Nokia 3310
Seeing the Nokia 3310 in new clothing is like seeing your childhood friend after being apart for almost 20 years. We were really excited when we saw this, BURGA. Good game!
3. Knowing how hot it's been in Malaysia recently, computer peripheral maker Cooler Master's April Fool's joke was pretty cool
Known for their computer cooling peripherals — such as fans, air coolers, and all-in-one water coolers — Cooler Master thought it was hilarious to introduce a 'new product', an air conditioner.
4. Pokémon wanted you to sleep to win in their Pokémon Sleep World Champions Tournament
Sleep is important, and Pokémon hilariously made a joke involving their Pokémon Sleep app. Trust us, you really want to watch the entire video.
Keep sleeping, and you might just wake up a winner.
5. Install Cyberpunk 2077, a 100GB game, with only these limited edition floppy disks
Cyberpunk 2077 is set for a re-release, but with a twist — it'll be distributed across a whopping 97,619 3.5-inch floppy disks. For reference, a single floppy disk could store 1.44MBs of data.
While the data transfer process may take several months, the end result will be a charming collection of vintage diskettes. However, keep in mind that shipping expenses are likely to be substantial, considering the need to transport a sizable container filled with retro storage technology.
