Am I the only one that would probably be gaslit into believing it and be really really pissed off when I learned the truth?

Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.

Oddly specific… Tell us more about this moist, cold sponge.

It’s very versatile. It can be used as a threat, a sudden shock or long term torture. I’m not comfortable going into further detail.

My brother-in-law once put a slice of bread on my sleeping sister’s stomach, and when their dog (a very gluttonous beagle) started chowing down, woke her up by shaking her while shouting “the dog is eating your flesh!”.

I think it’d be funny. But different strokes for different folks, I reckon.

I’d think it was funny because without a lot more evidence I wouldn’t believe it true.

Don’t get me wrong some pranks are dick moves, but, this… nah

Yeah, but even without network time updates your device’s internal clock is probably accurate enough to be able to tell if 2 years have passed or not. If it has an error of ≥2 years per 2 years, you need a new clock.

As someone who doesn’t like April Fools’, I see your point. This plays with the trust of their relationship. However, if the trust is solid and there is a mutual understanding of how they can play with that trust, it’s probably fine.

I guess it depends on the couple, e.g. how frequently they joke in a similar manor, what they know about their trigger points or if there is a hidden struggle for power. I think for most couples this would be a harmless prank both can laugh about and kiss afterwards.

Yes, yes you are. And I sincerely hope for the women around you that you’re single. That’s not healthy and you should probably seek counseling.

Jumping to conclusions on little to no evidence is a bigger red flag than a person who blindly trusts their partner when abruptly shaken awake.

It would depend on how long the joke goes on and to what extreme. “5 minutes super confused, until I look at my phone” = okay "An elaborate prank where she changed all the dates that lasts 20 minutes = okay “A day of being told my family died, world ended, etc” = not okay.
