Today is the day you need to extra skeptical about every bit of news you hear. You may think you're downloading the new Kanye West album leak when your download folder becomes full of Rick Astley in a cruel April Fools' Day joke. The best jokes today are the ones that don't increase our blood pressure, which is why we appreciate Amazon's nod to 90s kids everywhere. 

The e-commerce site has gone back to its 1999 design for April Fools' Day. The front page of the site has returned to its look from 16 years ago and features a grip of recommendations to help make you "that guy" on the day of pranks. Click on anything, however, and the site will return to its normal, modern look. Because forcing anyone to look at a website design from the 90s for more than one page is too much of an eyesore.
