404: Room Not Found
(midwest.social)
Programmer HumorHopefully your gf doesn't give you status code 416
Or 418...
That 418 is clearly a 415
I would have laughed my ass off.
People who make bad jokes often assume other people don't get them when in reality they're just unfunny
The joke might have landed if the hotel name was Safari or Chrome.
We had a costume contest at work and the room voted for the guy who wrote "404 costume not found" with sharpie on a white T-shirt. People went full out cosplay, but the gen pop rewarded the slacker. Lost some faith that day
This site is glorious, thanks! XD
Ha np homie
I would have gotten the joke, but probably not laughed.
We have a Highway 404 in Ontario. I've made a similar joke as OP couple of times and noone laughed once.
I laughed ❤️
How OP probably felt:
That's why I prefer to hold meetings in room 200. That way everyone finds the room without even having to read the number.
Nah. Too cold in there.
That joke was 403
That means the door was locked.
Your mom was forbidden
413 Content Too Large

429 “Too Many Requests”
😂 nailed it
(like your mom)
Geeking out over “your mom” HTTP error code jokes has made me quite happy. …
OwO
I had this weird syncronisticity a few years back where at least once a week I'd look at the time it it'd be 4:04. I'd often say "404: Time not found" and literally nobody ever got it so I started just saying it in my head instead.
Not to be that annoying person. But it's how our brains operate to look for patterns or repeatability. It's not that you were magically catching the clock at 4:04 all the time. You just don't remember when you looked at 3:10 on multiple days of the week because it wasn't meaningful.
It's like if you notice your friend has a new car. You suddenly start noticing other people driving that car in the exact same color. Like, suddenly everyone bought that car! It's just your brain looking for meaning.
Ok. Sorry. I got my autism comment out. I'll be gone.
my kind of autism
I got a notification of this response and unfortunately it could have been multiple comments I left recently. Need to go outside. Thanks.
Start doing it with 418 and see if they understand that one?

But I'm a teapot!
C'mon buddy. You need to give these jokes a REST
These jokes have a long and storied ancestral heritage! Just ask the Apache.
Seriously. They really need an endpoint.
I have made this joke about atlanta area codes in phone numbers a few times, rarely lands.
If it helps, it's the only thing I think of wherever I encounter it, bus lines, taxi numbers, number plates, street numbers, you name it.
So, yeah, I think it's funny.
This is like that scene in Step-Brothers, where they become best friends.
I refrained from using that joke with my wife as we walked to our hotel room 404 as I knew she wouldn’t get it and would think I was pathetic. 😄
I would have told her : https://xkcd.com/1053/
Lucky 10000 is a beautiful way to look at it.
Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)
Should we tell the real story?
With that username, you should change instances to sh.itjust.works
@404found@lemmy.zip you’re welcome with us ;)
I'da told him: "I walked into here and couldn't see a thing so I opened this one."
Depends on your friends I guess?
Or its just an old/bad joke.
Big "misunderstood genius" energy
Yeah, I got that vibe too - it's not a complicated joke & ppl have either heard it way too many times or just don't know the reference. But it's something to post about online, build your brand - like taking a standard generic photo for your field of work.
I’m kind of with you on this. Depends on who is in the room. If it’s a bunch of non-technical people, then of course they won’t get it. Know your audience. If it’s a bunch of tech people, they will probably just think the joke is stupid and roll their eyes.
...it's just the error message when the URL entered does not lead to a valid webpage? It's like when people "Google" something, they refer to the Google search engine. That doesn't mean they know the difference between a search engine and a web browser, saying a silly joke doesn't mean you have extensive knowledge in a certain field.
