my nexus is upside down and backwards

Migrated topic.
Not to be "that guy", but this was a disappointing April Fool's for the nexus. I guess the well of ideas has been tapped. My computer didn't even register the mirror flip thing, I guess it changed it to normal automatically, though my ipad mini version was mirrored. All the other April Fool's on the Nexus have been much more subtle and clever, but just flipping the text around? Meh. Perhaps there should be a secret group of Nexians that plot the April Fools prank to keep a once rich tradition alive.

Last year's was awesome and hilarious, would be nice to have a think tank for the April fools though, but I'm down with it being like this for a day
 
, There, the doses have kicked in!

But yeah, I'm with you up there. I look forward to this every year, and this is a little anti-climatic. And the whole day sucked, so… I guess it fits

End it really doesn't work with iOS.
 
To The Traveler:

Thank you very much for another year of site upkeep and maintenance!

it was the mirror image for me in the morning when i logged in today...but a few hours later, now, it's fine.
So something was really wrong ha ?
My brother reported the same.
 
So who was so smart to put a mirror before the screen, and look at the mirror?
😁

Good joke though 8)
 
Ha, this actually got me.

Funny stuff.

I've been around the nexus for a while, though I think this is my first April fools...

I generally pay very little attention to the Gregorian calendar, and was caught off guard.

Trav's been busy this year (granted, he's always busy). It's quite an administrative overhead to come up with an idea, work out a method, test it, then implement it.

Don't worry though my friend, I'm sure the tradition will live on.

Peace

Albeit not a very subtle april fools joke, it all seemed worth it because of this thread.

Thanks EG!
 
It was my first April fools being active on the site.

Am I really the only one who was "fooled" here?

Had I known it was April, it may have registered sooner, I pay little to no attention to The Gregorian calendar or its designated holidays.

it took me at least 20 minutes for the "April fools" realization to set in, I thought it was pretty funny.

None I guess, I'm self sufficient and am pretty much able to generate my own schedule, most of the time I don't know what day of the week it is, let alone the month, though I do pay attention to seasons, particularly in interest of the local plant and fungi wildlife as well as my cultivated outdoor and indoor plants plants. I also celebrate the equinoxes and solstices...

I see the Gregorian calander and it's designated holidays as part of the culture that I honestly want very little to do with, most the holidays are marketing schemes any way, and have never been my cup of tea.

I organize time similar to nomadic and tribal peoples, it's based around seasons and plants more than anything else...

If I had to choose a calendar though I would pick "the terence mckenna goddess calander"

Terence McKenna suggested that the neolithic Chinese used a lunar calendar in which a year of 384 days consisted of 13 lunar months (alternating in length between 29 days and 30 days). In a talk entitled "A Calendar for the Goddess" he put forward a proposal for a new calendar similar to the one allegedly used by the neolithic Chinese. In this calendar there are thirteen months in a calendar year, with a total of 384 days. The names of the months, he suggested, could be the same as in the present Gregorian calendar except that there would be an extra month called "Remember" between August and September (so as to remind us to remember the Goddess).
One of the virtues of this calendar, according to its author, would be that it would help to free us from "solar paternalism", subservience to the myth of the solar deity (originally the Roman Emperor, now the chief executive of the modern bureaucratic patriarchal nation state), who rules over a static ordering of time in which everything, from the seasons down, has its fixed and allotted place. A calendar in which years are not seasonal years might, he thought, promote a less bureaucratic mentality. - The Goddess Calendar

All of this applies to me too. To the bewilderment of my colleagues. I often forget the year as well. I don't remember my name or my birthday. Irrelevant information that just puts a burden on the mind.
