A clock for time travel

Question

This morning I have seen a clock for time travel in the toolbar at the top right

and many colored stars with the font Comics Sans (under construction Big changes for Y2K). What do you mean?

Someone knows if they've finally put on a watch that marks the time of access. See one of my old questions A clock into StackExchange to access time counting

@CarLaTeX Everything moves here, LOL :-) I hope they don't change everything again. I don't like those blue colors when we enter the code. — Sebastiano, Commented Mar 31, 2019 at 11:35
I don't see ComicSans, maybe my system tries to keep me safe! — Skillmon, Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 14:44
@Skillmon Look the title of my 1st image and of this link fonts.com/content/learning/fyti/typefaces/story-of-comic-sans — Sebastiano, Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 16:13
@Sebastiano don't worry, I know what ComicSans is, but there is none on my PC, so Firefox selects another hand-writing font as substitution, but that one does look decent :) — Skillmon, Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 17:34
@Sebastiano and I can only see that other font on other sites of the network, on TeX.SX I fixed my fonts using userCSS because I didn't like the one they used after they changed the page's layout. — Skillmon, Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 17:40
@Skillmon Don't worry. You and many users are welcome for any comment and question. My best regards. — Sebastiano, Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 19:04

Good guess. I hope it goes away soon. I have problems reading the text when brightly colored moving spots keep obscuring it.

Hence it is the 20th anniversary of the start of StackExchange.

It's actually the 10th anniversary, see meta.stackexchange.com/questions/326036/…. Of course it was on purpose to do this kind of anniversary celebration on April 1st.

@user49915 yes, so the way I understand it is that the April Fools joke this year has a retro theme because of the 10th anniversary. So it is part of the anniversary celebrations, or a combination of the anniversary and April Fools - in any case the anniversary has something to do with it :)
