In past years, Manifold has made temporary changes to the site for April Fools' Day. What will they do this year?

Resolves to any options that are accurate descriptions of changes made to the site in late March or on April 1, 2024, that are clearly "April Fools" features.

If any answers are ambiguous, including whether the "bunny" logo counts, I will run a poll and resolve to the majority opinion.

They *accidentally* add a bug in Manifold which breaks core functionality

Created a poll to resolve this option, since it's unclear to me whether this was the case.

bought Ṁ100 Answer #31bc470047db NO

Leagues ended unusually late but I don't think it was an April fool

Launching a new funny Manifold offshoot (like Manifold Love or politics, just not serious)
bought Ṁ50 Launching a new funn... YES

poly.markets should count

bought Ṁ10 Launching a new funn... YES

Betting that poly.markets is funny enough

Floating YES button
bought Ṁ20 Floating YES button YES

This would be too smart of a move to be an April Fools joke! 😂

Not really a bug, but moving buttons lag like hell on my phone browser.

bought Ṁ10 They *accidentally* ... NO

@ProjectVictory to the extent they're laggy, that's the only way I'm fast enough to catch them on desktop

Is this the bug question resolving YES?

Launching a new funny Manifold offshoot (like Manifold Love or politics, just not serious)

I initially resolved this to YES for poly.markets, but I have been informed that they can neither confirm nor deny whether this is an April Fool's joke until tomorrow. I've unresolved it and I'll leave it to the market to bet on. I'll get confirmation from the Manifold team tomorrow.

However, if it is confirmed to count as an April Fool's joke, then this site will count for resolving this option.

They've added the April Fools logo, so resolved that option to YES. Glad that I didn't have to deal with any ambiguity there. 😅

They remove core functionality of Manifold on purpose
bought Ṁ5 They remove core fun... YES

I dunno, I'd say "ability to easily hit the yes/no buttons" is a pretty core functionality 😛

Ok, how do I make it stop? I can't catch it.

bought Ṁ2,000 Use a different logo YES

@Predictor Just don't move your mouse and wait until it comes back

@Simon74fe Tapping just once didn’t work at all, just chased it sround… but a fast double tap created a sound like papers shuffling and then it opened up like usually

AMM removed/ largely reduced for some market
bought Ṁ100 AMM removed/ largely... YES

These trades seemed really odd for a market with so many traders and liquidity.

@houstonEuler I don't think we did this

Swap the positions of the bet YES and NO buttons

lol, this was so damn close

@Lion

They did switch sides

sold Ṁ5 Answer #b3bdea272100 YES

@Gabrielle Can this resolve YES?

@Simon74fe A bit of a weird case, but I think this counts

Bring back the "cha-ching" sound
bought Ṁ100 Bring back the "cha-... YES

Based on my experience, can resolve YES.

@gregrosent I rather enjoyed the caching sound
