We Replaced the Office Screensaver With a Blooming Flower. Nobody Noticed for a Week

Most pranks are loud. This one was gentle. We quietly swapped every screensaver for a time-lapse of a flower, then waited to see who would notice first.

The Rules of a Good Prank

A good prank ends with everyone laughing, including the target. Our pranks desk lives by a strict code.

• Nothing that breaks, spills, or stains
• The reveal must be funnier than the setup
• Always clean up before anyone from HR arrives

Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process.
