That is 100% comedy gold.

Reminds me of the hyper teapot control protocol.

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

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would have laughed my ass off.

[–] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I would have exhaled slightly harder. Maybe. But I would make some quip in response

Can anyone read this comment? It won’t load for me.

That means the door was locked.

Geeking out over “your mom” HTTP error code jokes has made me quite happy. …

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago

A long time ago, I worked with some people planning out the layout of a server room. They said that no individual one of them had the whole plan in mind, but that they each understood their section together. They finished by saying "it's in a RAID in our heads!" (Probably paraphrased. It was a long time ago.)

I thought that was hilarious. When I got home that night, I repeated the joke to my then girlfriend and her best friend, who lived with us at the time. There was a long pause, then one of them said "your job sounds REALLY boring."

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

Start doing it with 418 and see if they understand that one?

That's why I prefer to hold meetings in room 200. That way everyone finds the room without even having to read the number.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We have a Highway 404 in Ontario. I've made a similar joke as OP couple of times and noone laughed once.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 hours ago

It's kind of a shame that it's the 407 and not the 402 that's the toll road. Of course, even fewer people would get the joke there.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

I laughed ❤️

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 58 points 1 day ago (3 children)

C'mon buddy. You need to give these jokes a REST

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

These jokes have a long and storied ancestral heritage! Just ask the Apache.

I would have gotten the joke, but probably not laughed.

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.

The joke might have landed if the hotel name was Safari or Chrome.

People who make bad jokes often assume other people don't get them when in reality they're just unfunny
