/* Check if it is april fools day */
var aprilFools = {
  month: 3,
  date: 1
}

function isItAprilFoolDay() {
  var now = new Date();
  return (now.getMonth() == aprilFools.month && now.getDate() == aprilFools.date);
}

if(isItAprilFoolDay()){
  // fuck with people
} else {
  // there is less fake stuff today
}

Why month: 3? April are the 4th month... thanks

The getMonth() method returns the month (from 0 to 11) for the specified date, according to local time.

I use the code anytime I want to prank people when it's April Fools!

Thanks!

What does it do during April Fools? ( I asked it because I never use jQuery )

@RixInGithub Every 5 seconds, picks a random button, a, or label etc, and makes it fade out.

So like the Thanos easter egg in Google? Also you could just do * instead of writing all elements. Just a single character.

This is a very specific gist, but actually useful, cuz I'm releasing an update today for something that should be tomorrow (April Fools'). Happy to see this as first in Google Search!
