Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

But, it starts first if April not 20th of April! Amateurs

You, errr, might want to google the birthday of a certain well known German leader of the 30s and 40s…

This was a joke for 420. I know that this is also his birthday. Just don't care in this context

Years ago, a coworker greeted me with "Happy 420!"

  • Me: "Oh, I didn't know you celebrated Hitler's birthday."
  • Him: "What?”
  • Me: "April 20th was Hitler's birthday."
  • Him: long pause and blank stare "I DIDN'T KNOW HITLER WAS A STONER DURHURHUR!"
  • And then I got a new job.

Cool story bro

Happy you’re celebrating, you’re clearly German and would know, but honestly, we don’t use the date format, don’t encourage them. And April 1st is even better.
