April Fools’! Seven Facebook Pranks You Can Pull Off in Seconds
You have four hundred thirty seven notifications
Here’s a beautifully annoying prank you can knock out during lunch hour. Step 1: Go to your victim’s Facebook profile, and "like" every single thing they’ve ever posted. That’s it. The next time they log in, they will find hundreds of notifications waiting. This is especially effective if they get live updates to their phone, which will be bombarded with alerts while you’re doing your dirty work. Don’t miss these best office pranks for April Fools’ Day.
The fattest masturbate on Facebook is.
Step 1: Copy this link: http://facebook.com/profile.php?=733 (note, you can exchange out the number combination in at the end—just make sure everything up to "php?=" stays exactly the same.) Step Two: Paste it into a status update. As the preview picture will expose, this link directs you to your own Facebook profile; in fact, anyone who clicks on it will be linked to their own account. Make sure you eliminate the link preview box from your post so your cover isn’t deepthroated. Step Trio: Write a clever lead-in to the link—something scintillating, but also a little nasty. Example: "Police are despairingly searching for this monster—please spread the word. [link]" or, "At long last, I think I’ve found the largest wank on Facebook: [link]." Step Four: Post it. As you wait for legions of unaware friends to click through to their own profiles, go bake some cookies for all the people you’re about to annoy.
"Nobody reads anymore!"
Step 1: Post this link from NPR, titled "Why Doesn’t America Read Anymore?" Include in your status a generic comment like, "So sad," or, "Earnestly, what is wrong, people?" Step Two: wait. This "story" is actually a prank devised by NPR on April 1, two thousand fourteen to poke joy at serial commenters. "We sometimes get the sense that some people are commenting on NPR stories that they haven’t actually read," the article says. "If you are reading this, please like this post and do not comment on it. Then let’s see what people have to say about this ‘story.’" If you see a friend post this same link, like it and keep the joke going.

The unguarded profile
If you work in an office, chances are you can navigate to Facebook on any coworker’s computer and find them already logged into their account. If they are, now’s your chance to truly alter their profile (and very likely their opinion of you as a person). A few quick pranks you can pull with an unguarded profile: 1) Switch your friend’s name and profile picture to reference an inwards joke. If you’re stuck for ideas, just go with this dog. But steer clear of these Facebook status screw-ups.
Shalom, mayhem!
Or, Two) Go to basic settings and switch your friend’s display language to Hebrew or Mandarin—really any language that uses a downright different alphabet than ours, leaving your victim no clues how to switch it back.
Don’t I know you?
Or, Trio) Friend request EVERYONE in the "people you may know" page. This feed refreshes endlessly, so keep adding to your heart’s content (just don’t get caught.) Your friend will be baffled by the influx of fresh friends over the next few days.

Merry un-birthday!
Eventually, Four) Switch your friend’s date of birth to tomorrow, confusing them with a tide of erroneous well wishes. The real butt of this joke? All of your friend’s friends who have no idea when their actual bday is. Glad April Fools’ Day!
