    This is how this conversation would go with my wife and I:

    “Oh god! You’re finally awake!!! Babe, you’ve been asleep for two years!!!”

    “What are you talking about?”

    “Look how long you’ve been gone!”

    “Everything looks exactly the same as when I went to sleep.”

    “No it isn’t! Look at my hair!”

    “Oh, did you get a haircut? It looks nice.”

    I’m not good with details.

        My wife dyed her hair a totally different color and she got mad that I didn’t say anything for a few days. Because I honestly didn’t realize she did.

              usually by naptime mines down to like 30-40% and the nap is about right to get it back to ~80ish. Mines pretty old though I guess it’s different with newer ones and fast charging.

            No. Many certificates are only valid for a couple months to years into the future. Many websites wont work if you set your system time to +5 years, because most certificates won’t be valid for that time.

          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.

            The premise was that the spouse set the phone clock into the future. That has nothing to do with how accurate the RTC is (usually <10s/day)

      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.

      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.
