On this most terrible of online days, "enjoy" this LW attempt at humor

__edit__ there are more submissions on the theme of "humor" on site now. Let's just say the cringe factor outweighs the humor factor by a large amount.
omg I don't have anything better to do
* [Lesswrong Liberated](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hj2NTuiSJtchfMCtu/lesswrong-liberated-1) - they implemented a chat interface to redesign the LW site according to different themes. Mostly boring
* [LIMBO: Who We Are, What We Do, and an Exciting High-Impact Funding Opportunity](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/f7YxHQHedsPdWywCG/limbo-who-we-are-what-we-do-and-an-exciting-high-impact) - probably not AFJ? Can't really tell. Bad day to launch a call for funding if not
* [Announcing Doublehaven with Reflections on Humour](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Qczwwgy6kr2p6Tgg3/announcing-doublehaven-with-reflections-on-humour) - protip do not try to reflect on "humour" (native brit speaker or pretentious LWer? flip a coin) with boring examples of "ratty humour"
* [ACME Alignment Co Announces: Aligning Humans](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/putbkDsgjuj4TRims/acme-alignment-co-announces-aligning-humans) - this one is easy to call as AFJ
* [Giving up on EA after 13 years](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/pceSJEnKgrJbPpqet/giving-up-on-ea-after-13-years) - lol it's funny because EA means "Electronic Arts" here
* ["You Have Not Been a Good User" (LessWrong's second album)](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hrZAvpLnBTgRhNmgk/you-have-not-been-a-good-user-lesswrong-s-second-album) - also seems to be a "straight" post, not a joke, but released on AFJ b/c then the community can "cut loose"? I dunno, and I am never gonna listen to any songs by "Fooming Shoggoths" in my life
* [Announcing EA Omelas](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/3RcSo8y56QgkWz9oS/announcing-ea-omelas) - "[Extensively co-written with Claude Opus 4.6]" you have been warned. Considering how every rat coverage of *Omelas* has been utter shit I'm just posting the link, not reading it

Dont think it is that bad (E: at least it is short, the other 'jokes' not so much). The 'not sneering enough' icon is missing however. (Guess the joke is that the not sneering is itself sneering). Wonder how much them they will really implement. However looking at the titles of other recent submissions, I have no idea which ones are meant to be jokes and which are meant to be real posts. Great troll opportunity however, just spend the whole week before 1 april, replying to new posts with a variant of 'not sure this april fools joke lands' E: and the site died with a nice 504.
