With April Fools’ Day comes an onslaught of sometimes hilarious and sometimes pointless jokes online, and this year is no different.

Penn State collaborated with the University of Miami to photoshop the giant “U” in place of the Nittany Lion Shrine for a post on Instagram.
“When worlds collide… brought the U to Happy Valley for the day ��,” the post said.
Barstool Penn State couldn’t help but jump in, too.
Celebrities like Tiger Woods and well-known companies got in on the fun as well.

However, others weren’t so excited about the holiday.
Given the state of current world leadership, I think this is as good a year as any to finally retire April Fools Day, on the grounds it's no longer possible to tell what is a joke and what is real.

April Fools’ Day is the one day a year people actually fact check everything they see online before believing it as the truth. Funny because that should be the norm every day.
