Twitch teases silent channels and \u2018Pizza Time\u2019 categories in April Fools\u2019 joke TwitchAs a part of an elaborate April Fools\u2019 Day joke, Twitch teased five new \u2018upcoming\u2019 categories for their platform on social media, including Pizza Time, Silent Reading, and more. April Fools\u2019 Day is always a special time of year for members of the gaming and streaming communities. Not because it\u2019s a cause of celebration, but rather because it serves as a reminder to not believe everything you see. For example, Riot Games tricked League of Legends players into believing an outrageous set of patch notes. Twitch got into the groove too by announcing five new categories that were so absurd, it was clearly a joke. Today we\u2019re excited to launch five new categories you can watch and stream to. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new\u2026 \ud83e\uddf5 1\/6 \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Pizza Time The first category they teased was Pizza Time, and it includes anything and everything related to pizza. This includes making pizza, delivering pizza, eating pizza, and debating which pizza toppings are the best. That\u2019s not all, though. The suggestions became increasingly more bizarre. For example, dressing as a pizza, throwing pizza on the roof like Walter White in Breaking Bad, and even playing the 1994 video game Pizza Tycoon. Introducing a supreme new category, stuffed with possibilities. 2\/6 pic.twitter.com\/Wri7U9WeeT \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Silent Reading The second category, Silent Reading, encompasses streamers silently reading everything from biographies, novels, and manga to diary entries, fortune cookies, and even The 1997 Geo Metro Service Repair Manual. Right now you are silently reading the social post announcing the new silent reading category. 3\/6 pic.twitter.com\/3M3xvTkf9L \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Character Creation The third category was actually somewhat believable. Named Character Creation, it revolves around streamers creating hilarious characters on various games, which has proven to be a popular fad on social media. Creating a new character can take hours. Becoming them can take a lifetime. So we spent five minutes creating a category for it. 4\/6 pic.twitter.com\/WSfRI2OK7y \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Chores, Odd Jobs, and Errands The fourth category, Chores, Odd Jobs, and Errands put a hilariously boring twist on regular IRL streams. Rather than showing streamers documenting their travels, it\u2019s limited to them doing mundane tasks. If the saying \u201cmany hands make light work\u201d is true, you\u2019re about to save SO much time. 5\/6 pic.twitter.com\/Ehm5lrn4WP \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Literally Just Chatting Last but not least, the fifth category, Literally Just Chatting, is exactly as described. The premise of the idea is that there are no cameras, no mics, and no stream. Instead, there are only people running wild in chat. We heard you guys like chat. So we made a new category that lets you connect with your community without distracting video and audio. Just chat. Literally. 6\/6 pic.twitter.com\/Ij2vcCQRE7 \u2014 Twitch (@Twitch) April 1, 2022 Twitch\u2019s April Fools\u2019 Day joke didn\u2019t fool too many people. It was pretty obvious given how silly the categories were. Still, it did provide a good laugh, which is ultimately what the annual custom is all about. Read More: Twitch officially shutting down desktop app – Of course, they have added some \u2018different\u2019 categories in the past, including Animals, Aquariums, & Zoos, and Pools, Hot Tubs, & Beaches. So, who knows what else they\u2019ll introduce before April Fools\u2019 Day rolls around again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
