April Fool’s Day is a glorious, silly tradition here at the hot pink palace of chaos and goofy puns. I ponder ideas all year, and have a whole page in my notebook reserved for potential goofiness. I have a list of concepts, I make myself laugh – and I hope you smile a bit, too.
This year: Bitchcoin, our terrific cryptocurrency!
Y’all. The glossaries I read were full of potential hilarity.
Jokes about hot wallets, hard forks, and TAINT. How could I resist? And the name was so obvious!
I also want to thank Jenn at Wax Creative for this fabulous image:
I’m particularly proud of the eco-centric development of Bitchcoin, which investors can mine by reading books.
And, it’s compostable, so you can virtually chuck it in your compost bin and use the byproduct to grow massive, turgid fruits and vegetables.
Like these:
Happy April 1st, everyone. I hope this brought a smile to your face!
Want to look back at some of our past April Fool’s editions? Here are a few of my favorites:
Last year, we created the Smart Bitches Smart Device! It’ll track your reading and embeefen your wifi while picking fights with other appliances that aren’t getting the job done.
In 2020, we worked with all our pets to remove the weight of the world from your shoulders with Smart Bitches Weightless Blankets.
We’ve fallen in love with rabbits, and made our own social media network in 2014 complete with hoax-detection technology (wow, wish that had been real).
And still, one of my all-time most-favorite April Fool’s Day inventions?
Our 2015 Time-stopping wearable device that doubles as a reader, pedometer, page counter, audio device, sale alarm, and timekeeper.
One of my favorite games is ‘Where is my venture capitalist’ because I am really good at developing completely necessary yet fundamentally difficult technology for readers. (OK, mostly for myself, but still, I will share!)
We’ll be back next year with more silliness, but until then, Happy April, folks.
See you next year!
I do greatly fear the phrase “Bitchcoin” has now built a nice little nest in my brain. I forsee so many occasions when it may come in handy. Well-played, Bitches.
Knocked it out of the park again!! Thank you ladies!
LOL. Fun.
LOVE this tradition!
The only way I would consider getting anywhere near crypto is Bitchcoin. Great one this year 😀
Bitchcoin! Brilliant. I do especially appreciate it’s acquired by reading books. Thank you for always bringing the fun on April 1.
I really needed this today, thank you!!!
I will never think of bitcoin as anything but “bitchcoin” from now on.
This was fun. Thanks to you all!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Every year you ladies put together the best April 1st post and today’s made me laugh so hard. Thank you thank you for the love and laughter and content I needed on a rainy and stressful Friday morning.
I’m investing in Bitchcoin!
You guys are the only website where I truly enjoy and look forward to your April Fool’s jokes. They’re always silly and fun and so obviously fake they’re not trying to trick someone or embarrass anyone.
Well done!
Thank you, thank you!
I have a LOT of fun thinking of each year’s April 1 post, and, as you said Jill, I do not want to embarrass or harm anyone. I have Very Strong feelings about effective April Fool’s jokes (I talk about that in today’s April Fool’s episode of Lovestruck Daily in fact!) and one goal is for everyone to feel like they are in on the joke when they get it, and not like someone was trying to make them feel bad.
Also, it has to be juuuuust this side of plausible. And if we’re making up currency now, I want in on the silliness. Seriously, the language I have learned about cryptocurrency is HILARIOUS and fun to play with.
Happy April, everyone!!
As always, this is brilliant – I always come here on April 1st to see the year’s prank, and you all never disappoint. Thank you!
I would note that by not relying on mining for BitchCoin, there is no insane overuse of electricity that would otherwise be better used for charging e-readers 😉
Somehow, I always forget about April 1 when I click on SBTB and then… All the laughs. Thank you so much for starting my Friday (and day off work) with a smile!
Dammit. I want – no, I NEED – a BitchCoin! To proudly display as a promise and a threat at work.
Thanks! I needed this today!
I was laughing so hard over breakfast, my husband shushed me so I didn’t wake up the kiddo. Naturally, I had to start reading it out loud to him. Well played! 🙂
Recently, one of my daughters decided against continuing to date a guy she’d gone out with a couple of times. Me: “What happened? Did he tell you how great Jordan Peterson and Ayn Rand are?” Her: “Worse. He started talking about BitCoin.” Me: “I raised you right, girl.”
I did a double take when I opened the site this morning because I totally forgot what day it was! At first all I read was “Bitcoin” and I totally went [tiffanypollard.gif] “Not you… not you…”
Iwas sooo funny and well-done!
That was entertaining! Thank you all.
I’m gonna invest my reading time in mining BitchCoin and my social time in telling everyone about my hot new blockchain-bondage cryptobillionaire x ingenue erotica. Cryptobromance, the forbidden passions behind the code, burning hotter than a building full of dedicated servers. NFTs of galloping abs and suspiciously photoshopped nips. You see the key is to get in at the ground level and really start grinding, I mean just pounding out some hot, sweaty…
…Sorry, lost my blockchain of thought
(You got me when I opened the website! Completely forgot what day it was and had a minute of ‘walked into the wrong room and forgot what I came here for’ XD)
