### April 11 Ah, April 11th. It's the day the world was cursed with some of its most heinous inventions: vacuum cleaners that sound like jackhammers, pants that are two sizes too small and still shrink in the wash, and who could forget the pet rock? I mean, sure, it seemed like a great idea at the time, but thinking about it now, it's just ridiculous. Let's not forget the virtual assistant that can't understand anything it's asked, the "smart" robo-toilet that flushes itself whenever you enter the room, the alarm clock that blares the same irritating jingle every morning, and the robotic fish that dies right after you buy it. If that wasn't bad enough, now we have the coffee machine that takes forever to make a cup, the microwave oven that doesn't heat your food evenly, and the printer that doesn't recognize your USB stick. Talk about an awful day!
