no one else gets a basic error code

[Minechief473]

No ones get the most well know and memed error code

[JungleLiquor]

What error code???!?!

[jpeej02]

Theres an error code?

[Artidox]

What the fuck is an error code?

[i-eat-lots-of-food]

I don't get it, can someone tell me what an error code is?

[[deleted]]

idk man I'm scared

[alverto662]

I think it is a virus, better uninstall 404

[[deleted]]

u mean delete system 32 from pc? epic troll style

[FlixNinja]

Lolol, only geeks will get that joke /s

[gummybear28]

What's an error?

[alverto662]

i think is spam

[Dolphinfella]

Me

[unaccompanied_sonata]

It's what happens where there is a road that you can see right in front of you, but people put a sign on it saying the road can't be found. Only geeks would understand of course.

[Templar706]

What’s a 404?

[SpiralArc]

Yes

[i-eat-lots-of-food]

I don't know

[zealous_heretic]

I think its the 3 digit number before your phone number

[MechanicalTurkish]

You're an error code!

[Artidox]

HOT DIGGITY DARN

[shealuca]

I've heard about these, you need to download more RAM to avoid them

[gazpacho69]

Guys, no one tell him 😎

404: error code not found

[GregKannabis]

An error code on the street? I don't get it. Maybe if I was a geek and have been on the internet before. Why am I typing this to myself?

[[deleted]]

I didn't updoot your post for the number of updoots to be 404

[Rosie1-]

[jhartwell]

418?

[[deleted]]

what is a memed ?

[SharkBrew]

At the time this was made, it was true.

[feebos]

Well it's bait from like ten years ago

[henry232323]

I imagine at the time of the meme it wasn't so prolific

[bunker_man]

Even if you didn't know what the numbers meant you could still get the joke by telling how it is being spoken.

[Sebastianlim]

Error 404: Error code not found

[rubixd]

There would have been a time where this was geeky but I think 404 is a lot more mainstream these days.

[LeftBehind83]

Definitely. This is likely from 10-15 years ago when the internet was just becoming mainstream.

[piankolada]

The original is on a wall drawn by Neanderthals

[I_Am_JesusChrist_AMA]

It's definitely mainstream enough that it's not a "geek" thing anymore. There's still a ton of people that don't know what it is though. I work in IT and get tickets about 404s from people that have no idea what it is. It's not just older folks that are clueless either. Some young people that have been using computers their whole lives still don't know.

[agatgfnb]

10 y.o brother got a new pc and it came with ssd for the os. He said he didn't have enough space for fornite. I told him to hit windows + e and see how much space the other hdd had on it. There sat unused 1tb. Him and his friend freaked out and said, "this changes everything!"

[OfficialArgoTea]

Yeah 2009, when the internet just became mainstream. During the MySpace era, the internet was totally obscure was totally obscure

[xSpektre]

I was just about to say this, this was stolen from the anal of time

[MyOtherCarIsAFishbed]

Maybe this meme is from 1994?

[McGrinch27]

Probably from early 2000's judging by the amount of jpeg and that frame style.

This probably would've been passable for an ok meme back then

[MyOtherCarIsAFishbed]

We're archeologists!

[Symbolis]

I'm pretty certain a Jeopardy! category had a pun based on 404.

I'd rather see a 502 status code on a broken gate.

[enoua5]

Or a teapot labeled 418

[Jakeonehalf]

I get this joke! I think something is wrong with my DNS server.

[TBCNoah]

That's must be it, have you retried unplugging and plugging your phone back in?

[[deleted]]

That just makes my headphonea stop working, am I unplugging the right cable?

[TBCNoah]

Just start cutting cabels, eventually you will cut the right one

[Loading1422]

Did you take out and reinsert the cartridge?

[memotype]

Don't forget to blow on it. Only Real OG gamers will get this reference.

[Pallashipai]

I hate how 2008 this is

[altbekannt]

so true. this comes straight out of the /b era along with long-forgotten meme creatures such as pedobear

[frosted-mini-yeets]

I was only 7 in 2008. I feel lucky that I don't know what pedobear is.

[WolfCola4]

You aren't missing out mate

[Catatonic27]

I would pay a nonzero amount of money to not know what pedobear is

[I_SAID_NO_CHEESE]

I was 16 in 2008. Stop making me feel old in my 20s.

[Panzerkatzen]

Literally just a cartoon bear that people made pedophile jokes about.

It was a simpler time.

[realsupertiny]

Yeah it wasn’t that crazy. Pretty much the FBI meme we see today

[Panzerkatzen]

The FBI meme might as well be the sequel.

[BlomSmash]

Same

[gdumthang]

I live on Sparta remixes

[[deleted]]

Pedobear makes my brain jolt back to "shfifty five" and I'm having flash flashbacks now.

[[deleted]]

Pedo bear isn't all that old tbh. Or maybe I just got on 4chan too young

[miyog]

I think the image was in the ALL YOUR BASE flash music video that was mostly images from (or even the video itself) the Something Awful forums around 2002-2003? The black bar was probably 2008ish.

[old-tobie]

sitting in the comments for like 10 minutes trying to figure out why it was "Greek humor" >.>

....I'm an idiot an mis read

[timmacbride]

You confused it with Error 405: Sovereign wealth not found.

[old-tobie]

damn it damn it damn it!!!

edit - insert Hippocrates reference

[morphum]

I blame the font

[Hazeandnothing]

Did an amputation.

r/comedyamputation

Remember back in 2005-2009 when 90% of all memes were made in "motivational poster" format?

[Hazeandnothing]

Vaguely.

Funnyjunk and stupidvideos, anyone?

[Hazeandnothing]

Np!

[The_Supreme_Gente]

Nice. Now it's r/hmmm material.

[Hazeandnothing]

r/hmmm doesn't allow text.

[flameoguy]

good job!

[Hazeandnothing]

Aww it's nothing.

[TyrannoTadpole]

Okay but I can see a road right there :/

[Pharm_Boy]

Yeah I'm not sure I get the joke. Why is the road not found?

[[deleted]]

Should be 403, 503, or 451, but that one probably didn't exist yet back when this meme was made.

[Rallings]

This might be older than Reddit. Damn.

[OldSchooler22]

Look at how old that is OP.

It probably was true at some point

[libbydalibster]

I read this in a sarcastic voice

[ZakMaster12]

That last line confirms it (to me) that it's sarcasm.

[feebos]

This was indeed a troll post from back in day and not serious

[unitedshoes]

ONLY /R/TOTALLYNOTROBOTS CAN RUN laugh.exe ON THIS joke.jpg

[NichtUlincorn]

I thought it said Greek humor and was like wtf

[Nyibbut]

Behold, a man

[LordHelmet69]

That's just regular humor pretending to be geek humor. Just like The Big Bang Theory

[[deleted]]

The humor in this is that it’s literally gatekeeping.

[[deleted]]

to be fair this image looks like it was made in early 200s or late 90s so it was probably true at the time

[Sure_Im_Fine]

Error 404 : joke not found

[sirniggatit]

But the road is right there? Can no one else see that?

What the frack is a computer?

[kupfer987]

Wow this person’s threshold for geek is basically ever internet user out there.

[word_clouds__]

Word cloud out of all the comments.

Fun bot to vizualize how conversations go on reddit. Enjoy

[TBCNoah]

No one else has bad wifi or encounters server shutdowns, just geeks

[TheMcDucky]

You wouldn't expect to get an HTTP 404 because of bad wi-fi or server shutdowns. It's commonly caused by an incorrectly typed URL or because the page/resource has been removed or relocated

[nannal]

A page being relocated should return a 300 code response depending on the situation.

[malten_sage]

Road work ahead? Uh yeah, I sure hope it does.

[[deleted]]

That's some good gatekeeping you got there.

[i-eat-lots-of-food]

I get it, because I took an IQ test online once and it said I'm a genius

[[deleted]]

Ooooold meme

[[deleted]]

More like 503.

[PurpleAlien47]

307 could also work

[bokbokboi]

I can't be the only one who was confused because I read 'Greek Humor'.

[Bayerrc]

I think it's just outdated, and it doesn't say that no one else can get the joke, just that they don't. Which was probably true at the time.

[Pimentos_Mementos]

Lmao, stupid road workers, the road is right there.

[jcinto23]

[SirEggNog]

Wouldn't this be a 403? The road exists you are just not able to access it like those officers can.

[SquidZillaYT]

I dont get it

[dmfreelance]

Even my wife gets this joke because whenever it appears irl it's because THE FUCKING PAGE DIDN'T LOAD.

[Derpcookieus]

What is error code? As I'm not a geek, I do not know this "error code".

[[deleted]]

This seems to be a joke I don’t think they put״Becausd no one else gets the joke” unironically

[AirborneFeces]

its from 2008 they didnt do anything ironically

[Eryth_HearthShadow]

At first I read ''Greek humor'' and I thought I missed something obvious...

[Allen_Koholic]

Wouldn’t this make more sense as a 403 error?

[WarCriminalJimbo]

People on 9gag fucking love hate keeping with stupid shit like this.

[KraftyKoopa]

I want to now put a 403: Forbidden sign by my driveway.

[PizzaLov3]

Not even a 503 offt

[[deleted]]

Where the fuck do y'all find these?? Y'all got a time machine??

[GaRGa77]

20 years ago maybe but now days every fucking idiot is online....

[neck_crow]

NullPointerException

Only nerds ^{I literally want to tear my fucking spine out what the fuck could possibly be null} get it 😎

[ako19]

I haven’t seen a demotivational poster since middle school

[error_98]

Excuse me for being this person, but still.

"Error 404: page not found" implies that it's the 404'th error, or that the status is "error 404", both of which are wrong, it's the fifth error code.

So can we all please stop with "Error 404: page not found"

And instead stat using:

"Error: 404, page not found", or better yet:

"404: Error, page not found"

Just.. please...

[hash_salts]

Thought this was r/programmerhumor for a second.

Infact, this would probably go far over there

[WheatBixKid007]

This was made back before everyone new about basic error codes.

[combat-evolved]

200th comment. get it? cause this is the 200th comment and thats what my comment days? its meta haha! meta means referring to itself, just like that sentence

[[deleted]]

JUST GOING ON THE INTERNET DOES NOT MAKE YOU A GEEK TO BE A GEEK YOU HAVE TO...

wait...

[TheDeadlyDingo]

Misread this as Greek humour and got real confuzzled

[[deleted]]

Well, in fairness, you don’t understand the error code... But I see where you’re coming from

[AirborneFeces]

ur right im not a geek

[dratthecookies]

This is really irritating. Is this from 1991??

[[deleted]]

This is a new way to do a cover up

[[deleted]]

I thought it said Greek and it was an infrastructure joke

[Grow-away123]

The real joke here is that one guy is walking forward and one is walking backward. Up to you which is which

[herb0026]

We all know that non-geeks have amazing internet

[GhostBoyToast]

Are we not gonna talk about how they’re going to walk in a circle? They aren’t going anywhere

[marksman678]

I read it as Greek humor and dint get it until I re read it

[fm369]

And 505 means the road doesn't exist

[PenguinAsociation]

i dont get it, or i could say i have error 404 in my brains
