I like returning 418 instead of 404 or 403 on the files the script kiddies are hunting for on my web servers. I’m sure it does nothing but I’d like to think I’ve wasted some of their time at least once.
420 is still avalable. Not sure what you would put there (“Server too high?”) and given the controversy over 418 I think its best to leave that one blank instead of making a weed joke.
Everyone give it up for the fella who ran a webserver on a teapot

I’m glad that error exists.
I’m pretty sure it exists because RFC2324 hyper text coffee pot control protocol
Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.
With that, plus image recognition, plus a control system, you could use rfc2324 to implement the digital control side
Though I think I’d use weight, temperature, and flow sensors for easier service implementation
Technically, all video is a series of updating stills.
True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.
You had one chance to use 420 and you squandered it.

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.
Oh I get plenty of chances to use 420. But I think you might be missing the joke. 😁
HTTP 418 is the “I’m a teapot” code
