Conspiracy theories spreading online: One with biblical ties says the April 8 eclipse passes over eight towns named Nineveh and the end is here. (Ahem, it’s only two towns.) Now, the eclipse also goes over Santa Claus, Indiana; Ding Dong, Texas; and Booger Hole, West Virginia. Nope, Christmas isn’t coming early with free donuts and boogers.

Monday is April 1, and I can’t let it go by without recommending some techy April Fools’ pranks! If you know me, you know I love a good gag. If you know Barry, you know he’s my most frequent victim.

They are diabetes, air pollution and alcohol consumption. Scientists looked at 40,000 brain scans and found those have double the risk of other factors.
In every Apple ad, the time shown on the iPhones, MacBooks and iPads is always the same. Is it A.) 9:41, B.) 12:01, C.) 6:30 or D.) 10:10?
For context, the highest iPhone camera speed is just 240 frames per second (fps). Scientists will use the camera’s “swept-coded aperture real-time femto-photography” (SCARF, for short) to snap “shockwaves moving through matter.” But can it see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? All right, I’m sorry for that one.
What TikTok’s spending to pressure senators to vote “no” on the app’s ban. The ads feature TikTokkers talking about how a ban would hurt their livelihoods, and they’re slated to run for a month in key states. TikTok can buy all the ads they want; I’m not buying their Communist China B.S.
