Not to be "that guy", but this was a disappointing April Fool's for the nexus. I guess the well of ideas has been tapped. My computer didn't even register the mirror flip thing, I guess it changed it to normal automatically, though my ipad mini version was mirrored. All the other April Fool's on the Nexus have been much more subtle and clever, but just flipping the text around? Meh. Perhaps there should be a secret group of Nexians that plot the April Fools prank to keep a once rich tradition alive. Fear, belief, love phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. We cross and recross our old paths like figure skaters; our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

Last year's was awesome and hilarious, would be nice to have a think tank for the April fools though, but I'm down with it being like this for a day

, There, the doses have kicked in! But yeah, I'm with you up there. I look forward to this every year, and this is a little anti-climatic. And the whole day sucked, so… I guess it fits End it really doesn't work with iOS. Sine experientia nihil sufficienter sciri potest -Roger Bacon

it was the mirror image for me in the morning when i logged in today...but a few hours later, now, it's fine. So something was really wrong ha ? My brother reported the same. In the lingering moments before you die your body releases DMT. The same drug that makes you dream. The same drug found in every living animal. It's not an evolutionary trick to make you survive. Your body is choosing to release this drug now because it believes your fate is too grim for you to comprehend. So you dream. You dream that everything will be fine. You dream that nothing happened at all. It's in this moment that your body sits across from you. It tells you 'looks like we're not gonna make it this time.' You sit around a fire and recollect the past before soon parting ways back to the atomic ether. Your body does this because it loves you. You have never met anyone like your body. Your body has been with you everyday, good and bad. It's even kept a journal of your life carved in scars. Your eyelashes always wiped the tears from your eyes.

So who was so smart to put a mirror before the screen, and look at the mirror?  Good joke though

Ha, this actually got me.
Funny stuff.
I've been around the nexus for a while, though I think this is my first April fools...
I generally pay very little attention to the Gregorian calendar, and was caught off guard.

Perhaps there should be a secret group of Nexians that plot the April Fools prank to keep a once rich tradition alive. Trav's been busy this year (granted, he's always busy). It's quite an administrative overhead to come up with an idea, work out a method, test it, then implement it. Don't worry though my friend, I'm sure the tradition will live on.

I missed all this, and I can read text in any orientation - how annoying!  “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

It was my first April fools being active on the site.
Am I really the only one who was "fooled" here?
Had I known it was April, it may have registered sooner, I pay little to no attention to The Gregorian calendar or its designated holidays.
it took me at least 20 minutes for the "April fools" realization to set in, I thought it was pretty funny.

eg, may I ask what calendar - if any - do you use? “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

I organize time similar to nomadic and tribal peoples, it's based around seasons and plants more than anything else... If I had to choose a calendar though I would pick "the terence mckenna goddess calander" Quote: Terence McKenna suggested that the neolithic Chinese used a lunar calendar in which a year of 384 days consisted of 13 lunar months (alternating in length between 29 days and 30 days). In a talk entitled "A Calendar for the Goddess" he put forward a proposal for a new calendar similar to the one allegedly used by the neolithic Chinese. In this calendar there are thirteen months in a calendar year, with a total of 384 days. The names of the months, he suggested, could be the same as in the present Gregorian calendar except that there would be an extra month called "Remember" between August and September (so as to remind us to remember the Goddess). One of the virtues of this calendar, according to its author, would be that it would help to free us from "solar paternalism", subservience to the myth of the solar deity (originally the Roman Emperor, now the chief executive of the modern bureaucratic patriarchal nation state), who rules over a static ordering of time in which everything, from the seasons down, has its fixed and allotted place. A calendar in which years are not seasonal years might, he thought, promote a less bureaucratic mentality. - http://www.fractal-timewave.com/mmgc.php -eg
