The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

    Yeah I don’t know about “logical”, I’d say it’s arbitrary either way. I think in Asia the calendar traditionally aligned that way, since spring is “beginnings”, but it seems every bit as logical to put the new year around the winter solstice.
