In the world today, April 1st, Joke Day is celebrated, when people tell each other fake news in order to laugh away from the gloomy reality. This year, April Fool's jokes are particularly gloomy, in the shadow of the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.
Some artificial intelligence (AI) experts have warned Internet users to be especially careful today because unusual pranks are possible, especially in the form of advertising some products, using this technology.
It has been known for a long time that in some countries, such as Great Britain, Australia and the Republic of South Africa, pranks are played only until noon, and whoever does them after noon is called an "April Fool". In many other countries, jokes are made throughout the day.
Among the famous jokes is the one published on the BBC in 1957. That British television network then announced that the Swiss had begun picking spaghetti from the tree, as the "spaghetti weevil" pest had finally been eradicated.
A large number of viewers contacted the editorial office of that television to find out about the possibility of growing spaghetti trees themselves.
A well-known joke was the invention of hamburgers for left-handed people. In 1998, Burger King from the US released an advertisement for left-handed hamburgers that were made so that the contents oozed from the right side.
Medical researches generally believe that laughter is a good therapy.
