April Fool might be really confusing this year

Every day has been confusing since that fool been in charge. By design, ofc

For April Fools Day, Trump is going to be perfectly coherent, leading the nation with cogent points and a demonstrable understanding of the subjects at hand.

guyincognito121 Mar 31, 2026 +131
I think Trevor Noah did a bit along these lines years ago. Trump coming back to Melania at the White House, articulately exasperated after another day of trying to win over the rubes by acting like a clueless buffoon.

That was basically GWB. Bush had a huge public speaking fear. So his handlers had him lean into an everyman persona. Supposedly he was very charismatic one on one and often strikingly sharp. Hard to know what really happened behind closed doors though.

Amazon/AWS is conspicuously absent. Interesting

The IRGC had just renewed their yearly Prime subscription this January, so they won't be attacking Amazon until next year.

As is Palantir. I get Cisco from a logistics perspective, but attacking and punishing clear allies(as opposed to quiet allies) JP morgan seems like it would do more damage than most too.

That's a very shitty article. Amazon has a data center that was hit in UAE.

FordMaverickFan Mar 31, 2026 +1138
They included HP in the list of companies they're going to attack which has to be one of those "what the f*** did we do" kind of moments. On a serious note in the article Iran is saying they're going to start Attacking (missiles) at office buildings in the ME. Not cyber attacks they're just going to try and blow up the small operations centers in ME nations.

If you’ve tried to print something on an HP printer in the last 30 yrs you know what they’ve done.

"PC LOAD LETTER?!"

jakeStacktrace Mar 31, 2026 +25
What does that even mean?
25
Luniticus Apr 1, 2026 +11
It means you need to load the letter size paper cassette. Because there is absolutely no other Personal Computer related acronym that PC could be mistaken for.
11
ScoobyDoNot Apr 1, 2026 +7
And "letter" is meaningless for countries that use ISO 216 for paper sizing. Which is pretty much all apart from the USA and Canada.

They should target the owner of those companies. Imagine Larry Ellison or Elon Musk gets hit by a drone while he is on vacation. It would buy so much good will with the people worldwide while also putting immense pressure on Trump. I mean, I am not saying they should kill anybody. All I am saying is, if they have to, why not those wo are enabling Trump?

BRROOOOO. My wife bought a new HP printer a few years back. I almost fell out of my goddamn chair as she explained to me what an “Ink subscription” is.

HP supplies laptops for the DoD and a majority of defense related contractors due to buy American requirements. It was IBM before they sold off their laptop manufacturing to China.
140
Icarus_Toast Apr 1, 2026 +7
Probably has more to do with them being a supplier of servers. HPE servers are extremely common for both government and commercial use.

just_anotjer_anon Mar 31, 2026 +28
The f*** is DoD? Did you confuse it for DoW?

But the DoW is over 50,000! Wait no that’s the Dow. The DoD had a better unique acronym.

WineBoggling Mar 31, 2026 +33
Has. Only an act of Congress can officially rename the department. It remains the Department of Defense.

Durakan Mar 31, 2026 +33
I'm pretty sure HP has a division that does defense projects, not that weird. Older companies be like that.

redefine_refine Mar 31, 2026 +22
Oil may get to $200 a barrel, but I think we can safely say that printer ink won't cost $2 million a barrel. Lol so actually doing a napkin calc... an oil barrel filled with printer ink would cost roughly $880k if you took the cost of a printer cartridge and assumed that cost was for just the ink itself.
22
Capt_Murphy_ Mar 31, 2026 +18
They may mean "HPE" (HP Enterprise) which focuses on IT infrastructure and cloud computing (including for AI)
18
Fumquat Mar 31, 2026 +27
>Iran is saying they're going to start Attacking (missiles) at office buildings in the ME. So that sucks super hard, but worth noting that random office space in the ME is where US war operations have dispersed to after US bases were attacked. If we’re going to apply consistent logic as with IL, you could say the US is intentionally using ME civilian office workers as human shields.
27
cheesenachos12 Mar 31, 2026 +43
And US has bombed university, pharmaceutical factory, and is threatening to blow up water plants and energy infrastructure. Its all f'd
43
NorthernFrosty Mar 31, 2026 +17
> And US ... is threatening to blow up water plants **Iran:** "So, we did the evil thing and killed tens of thousands of protesters." **US:** "You think that's bad... We're going to destroy your water supply, which will lead to hundreds of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children, dying from lack of water!" **Iran:** "Wow, that's way more evil than anything we ever did. Like... When did the US decide to be more evil than whoever they were fighting? I thought they were supposed to be the good guys!
17
Programmdude Apr 1, 2026 +8
The US has never been the good guys. At best, they've been better than the alternative, but still pretty bad. Like, 70's US would be better than 70's USSR, but they were also giving black people syphilis deliberately just to see how it would progress. Or napalm bombing vietnam and killing civilians (agent orange anyone?) simply because france didn't want to give up their colonies. The US helped in WW2, but the germany front was mostly the US war profiteering, being the only large rich country to survive is the main reason why the US did so well in the second half of the 20th century, and the japan front was because they were attacked first. You'll note they didn't care about all the chinese and korean people being mass raped and put into camps until the japanese decided to bomb some US ships.

You jest, but it's the lack of insurance that keeps the closure of the strait effective.
10
CheesecakeSea6471 Mar 31, 2026 +8
You know what sucks? 1 incident on the right platform will stop the majority of medical payments to doctors. Insurance companies will get paid, so if it takes 4-5 months to re-route all of those payments, there's less concern if the small doctor office in Topeka doesn't get paid right away. From the doc's perspective, if a doctor can't *get paid for 4-5 months by the insurance companies, he'll have to close his practice eventually because won't be able to pay his staff.

That would actually be goated hacking. Deleting the information that Americans would agree with, making trump even more unpopular by bringing it back. Hack Social Security payment system and just pay out triple the amount.

magnamed Mar 31, 2026 +12
Huh. That's actually a pretty interesting thought. I feel like the average American wouldn't really feel attacked so much as they started to side with Iran. Realistically I don't believe they could do anything to those systems that would cause any permanent loss of records but the idea is interesting nonetheless.
12
NMe84 Mar 31, 2026 +29
You've got that wrong! It would be devastating if they started with X, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and, most importantly, Palantir. I'm not sure the US (and the world!) could ever recover if it lost those!

It is much easier to fool a person than it is to get them to admit they were dumb enough to get fooled. In their world they made a competent decision, and all their “news” sources reinforce that concept. If they admit he is a giant dumbass, they also have to admit that their entire worldview is wrong. We are pretty much in a giant state of psychosis, and no one trusts psychiatrists.

Why are they doing all these threats, like it's not a war? Before a war I understand the threats but during a war it's so weird. Usually during a war, if a country can and want to attack something, it attacks that thing, threatening to do it is not relevant. It's the same for Trump I guess.

I haven't read this article but I have read another article that framed it as Iran isn't so much threatening but rather *telling* the world they are going to attack these companies and civilians should leave the area.

They should have framed it the way IDF does. They're so thoughtful and caring that they tell the preschoolers to leave first before bombing them (sometimes). Because you know all of the countries will start crying foul if they do attack.

Threat and counter-threat is a fairly common pastime amongst warring parties.

Yeah yeah it's true but for me it sounds really weird. I think they've even already bombed an [Amazon data center](https://fortune.com/2026/03/09/irans-attacks-on-amazon-data-centers-in-uae-bahrain-signal-a-new-kind-of-war-as-ai-plays-an-increasingly-strategic-role-analysts-say/), so I dont see the point. I guess it's more directed at their own population. Or maybe they want to influence financial markets but it doesn't seem to be working well.

They’ve been at war with the US for 50+ years now. Gotta keep it in the international focus somehow. This is just business as usual but distributed again so the ignorant are startled. Seems to have worked.

War? Nono. This is a special military operation...

Just sitting here with my popcorn watching this blow up in Trumps face. Notice how the world has stopped talking about the Epstein files?

Waiting for Iran to hack Israel's compromising files on Trump and leak them as part of the war. Honestly that would be perfect. Edit: perfect as in the war to distract from the Epstein files leads to the release of the Epstein files

Nobody in the Whitehouse is being pressed about it. That's what he means.

Because if you ask about it they’ll just ignore you. Or worse they just pull your networks credentials and now no one from your network can ask any questions. Everyone knows trumps a pedophile.

Its wild that the us has stooped to openly controlling the press like one of the backwater dictatorships that used to be scorned by the west.

I don’t think Iran knows that April First is considered April Fools day in the US so their attacks will only make people laugh.

Cyber is considered a theatre of war, so there shouldn't be Pikachu faces. It's more the fact that the Trump administration miscalculated the scope of their war

Can someone explain why they would give this warning? They are getting decimated and why give the people that are attacking you a heads up?

For a chance at negotiation, sadly Hegseth has said they(USA) negotiate with bombs. Iran was like so that's how we're doing this...

Think of all the work that has been done in our post 9-11 America to protect the people and project strength and in on term this President has washed it all away. All the allies that helped us and sacrificed so much for our nation and we are just spitting in their faces. Its awful.

Preemptively pouring out some liquor for the cybersecurity homies at these companies who are going to fall on the sword because corporate cheaped out on something and Iranian hackers will expose it.

Oh no, please, I beg you. Not my digital surveillance tools that sell every bit of my personal information with or without my consent while lobbying to build more data centers that take up what little fresh water there is left. Please, don't target these companies owned by billionaires that are the most heinous people to walk the earth and are actively pitting lower class people to fight each other so they don't know who truly is to blame. What ever shall I do if Iran attacks these companies?

Honestly hopefully they do it. Maybe that will make tech CEOs and boards of directors think twice next time before supporting fascist unhinged regimes and helping them get more power!
