Another April Fools' Day come and gone, another time Greta Thunberg proved to us she's a social media master.

Thunberg, known for her snappy comebacks and witty posts on her Twitter, made a post on April 1st where she said she'd compiled a video full of resources and ideas that everyone can do to slow down the effects of the climate crisis.


When you clicked the link, what do you think you saw?

Well, some of the older folks among us weren't quite sure at first.





Mostly people were absolutely floored at how funny and quick Greta Thunberg is over her social media.





It's a rite of passage for anybody who has ever been on the internet to be "Rickrolled," aka, tricked into clicking a link of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

The phenomenon made its way outside of the internet, too, and even made it to the likes of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Disney film Ralph Breaks The Internet.





Thanks, Greta, for your work. We ALL must do our part to prevent climate change and a climate crisis.

Including Rick Astley.

Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
