I like how the gag didn't show up for me until April 2nd. If it weren't for others talking about it yesterday I'd have no idea what's going on. Of all the April Fools pranks, this was one of them.
I made a fool of myself a minute ago because I thought the negative vote totals were real. Then I saw my new comment immediately had a score of -1 and realized what was going on.
Everyone would upvote a simple howto with how to force fonts clientside. And thatd be the end of it for almost everyone who doesn't use the app. AKA all 5 of us.
Fact is, monospace fonts are just the wrong sort of font for illustration work. Courier is perfectly serviceable for programming, even if I prefer Cascadia or one of the other modern ones with ligatures.
You are correct, I'm admittedly superficial when it comes to Comic Sans, and yes, though I don't care for Courier, it is indeed the choice of many a hacker, so I cannot deny its validity as a proper font for programming!
I’m not sure about that. It’s actually returning relevant results now instead of one or two results that have nothing to do with what was searched for like the original.

What if we got to customize our upvotes and downvotes like our profiles? And keep the comic sans. I love it
GreaterDog
Nah it's harder for me to read

Honestly, I like the font.

Jokes on them, I'm still using the old UI.

Comic Neue is kinda nice. Actually, it's better than whatever generic sans-serif font they use on the default UI. Somehow easier to read.

I was wondering why everything sucked today.

The font is killing me inside.
KerryCoder
I actually think it's pretty good. BTW, I don't think this is Comic Sans, I think it's Comic Neue, which is a huge improvement on Comic Sans.

What are you, some kind of font nerd.
(I say this with love, it's a running joke in my circle lol)

Yes, the kerning is a dead giveaway.

That keming stuff confuses me.

What would the reaction be if they changed the font to Comic Sans, and it wasn't a joke?

Comic sans is one of the fonts designed to be easiest to read. Its something I'd have to get used to it, but honestly? I wouldn't mind.

As an illustrator, Comic Sans is quite easy on my eyes, however courier, I despise courier as much as many people despise Comic Sans…

I really hope the giphy thing replacing the gif search is part of the prank, because that thing sucks ass

You guysv were trying to use a gif search?
LychFinderGeneral
You mean the regular Imgur gif search sucks ass?
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
Well yes, but now it's worse
LychFinderGeneral
I’m not sure about that. It’s actually returning relevant results now instead of one or two results that have nothing to do with what was searched for like the original.
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
Eh, I searched for something earlier and got like 40 copies of some unrelated weird gif of a software UI, then like 30 more of another.
