if buffy did an April Fools Day episode I can only assume that it would be about how it's named after the titular April Fool, one person each year who magically becomes the Unluckiest Person Alive for the whole day, and after it not coming up for 90% of the episode we find out it was Xander but nobody noticed a difference

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

my hand to God the episode where Mulder's ex-partner steals his notes and while his buddy is in the process of presenting Mulder's profile as his own and taking the credit and after like three sentences in the middle of the meeting Scully snaps her head round to Mulder because she knows. literally she's ON TO IT all outraged "THAT'S YOUR PROFILE!" literally completely unprompted I am telling you that is true love right there. I'd recognise your behavioral profile of a homicidal maniac anywhere anytime baby. Who was Chris Carter trying to fool anyway? smh.
