How OP probably felt:
Hopefully your gf doesn't give you status code 416
You all are using wrong website for HTTP statuses, this is my personal goto: https://http.cat/status/409
Or 418...
That joke was 403
Your mom was forbidden
413 Content Too Large
More like …
429 “Too Many Requests”
😂 nailed it
(like your mom)
Geeking out over “your mom” HTTP error code jokes has made me quite happy. …
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."
402 payment required
OwO
That means the door was locked.
Can anyone read this comment? It won’t load for me.
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?

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

C'mon buddy. You need to give these jokes a REST
Seriously. They really need an endpoint.
These puns are making me CURL my toes
These jokes have a long and storied ancestral heritage! Just ask the Apache.
Reminds me of the hyper teapot control protocol.
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.

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

The joke might have landed if the hotel name was Safari or Chrome.
Those friends were probably in room 420
