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.
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."
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
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.
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.
How OP probably felt:

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

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.
Outside?!? REEEEEE!
How's a person supposed to breathe with all that fresh air out there?!
not to mention the big bright thing in the ceiling. outside sucks!

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. …

402 payment required
OwO
That means the door was locked.
Can anyone read this comment? It won’t load for me.
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.
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.
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.
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)
But I'm a teapot!
HTTP Status Code 418
Hopefully your gf doesn't give you status code 416
Or 418...
That 418 is clearly a 415
I always get a 413 error too large /s
I run into 425 Too Early a lot
Or 402
You all are using wrong website for HTTP statuses, this is my personal goto: https://http.cat/status/409

We have a Highway 404 in Ontario. I've made a similar joke as OP couple of times and noone laughed once.
I laughed ❤️
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.
Insert HTTP Cats reference here
This site is glorious, thanks! XD
Ha np homie
Should we tell the real story?

Just the same way as you joined lemmy.zip, signup to the instance at https://sh.itjust.works/signup
Those friends were probably in room 420
I would have gotten the joke, but probably not laughed.
404 jokes are overused. Get more creative with your HTTP response code jokes
That is 100% comedy gold.
I would have happily told your to 302 see other meeting room.
I would have laughed my ass off.
I would have exhaled slightly harder. Maybe. But I would make some quip in response
I have made this joke about atlanta area codes in phone numbers a few times, rarely lands.
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?
The joke might have landed if the hotel name was Safari or Chrome.
Reminds me of the hyper teapot control protocol.
People who make bad jokes often assume other people don't get them when in reality they're just unfunny
Or its just an old/bad joke.
Big "misunderstood genius" energy

I agree, not sure why the down votes. this joke wouldn't land even amongst the devs I work with
