@vinceknight haha nice I hadn't seen that! I'm adding it to my list (https://www.ellipsix.net/arxiv-joke-papers.html)

...also if I may suggest linking to the abstract rather than the PDF file?

#arXivFools

Thanks to Ryan Dorrill for letting me know about his #arXivFools submission "Macroscopic Dynamics of Entangled 3+1-Dimensional Systems: A Novel Investigation Into Why My MacBook Cable Tangles in My Backpack Every Single Day" https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00220
It's now on the list: https://www.ellipsix.net/arxiv-joke-papers.html

Most of my list is assembled by manually browsing the #arXiv feeds around #AprilFools Day, but I do get several suggestions from people of papers that I've missed, and they are always appreciated!

#arXivFools Day, now with more chickens https://www.ellipsix.net/blog/2023/04/arxiv-fools-day-2023-now-with-more-chickens.html

Eight more joke papers added to the list

#arxiv #AprilFools #ScienceMastodon #science

I have nothing to add to this title: "Nuggets of Wisdom: Determining an Upper Limit on the Number Density of Chickens in the Universe" https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17626 #AprilFools #arXivFools #ScienceMastodon

It should be no surprise to see #ChatGPT making inroads into scientific publishing in this year's #AprilFools papers: "Can AI Put Gamma-Ray Astrophysicists Out of a Job?" https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17853 #arXivFools #ScienceMastodon

This doesn't look like an #AprilFools paper but I have to give a shoutout to https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.17609 for introducing "ronswanson", a Python package that builds table models 😂 #ScienceMastodon #arXivFools

I rounded up all the April Fool's Day research papers I could find on arXiv: https://www.ellipsix.net/blog/2023/04/from-minecraft-to-memes-arxiv-fools-day-2023.html #AprilFools #arXivFools #arXiv #ScienceMastodon

It's almost time for the annual update my list of arXiv joke papers: https://www.ellipsix.net/arxiv-joke-papers.html

In the past I've used tips from Twitter to help make sure I don't miss any, but... y'know, Twitter :dumpsterfire: so can you help me out Fediverse? Feel free to give me a ping with any arXiv joke papers you find tomorrow! Or use the hashtag #arXivFools
