RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

I keep forgetting I have a Wikipedia account lol
Welp, seems like browsers don't like 418. Edit: Nevermind, I am idiot.
location = /teapot {
return 418 "I'm a teapot\n";
}

Approximately 29 years ago, I was in the MSN multiplayer client for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (stop judging me, I know almost every word of that sentence fragment indicates that I'm old) and someone linked something that would log the IP of anyone who accessed it. When I, a naive 9-year old, opened it, they copied my IP and posted it in the public chat.
I was so freaked out that I disconnected from the internet and unplugged my computer.
Servo says unknown application, which isn't what I expected for a html error code
Oh, I see now. Actually a config issue. It should return text/plain. But it's odd, I recall it working, I literally just copy pasted it from local NGINX config where I recall it working in the past.
I added default_type text/plain; into the location block which now loads normally, and still returns the same 418 code.
Both servo and firefox now report the text correctly. I haven't checked the response code on those, but lynx correctly reports 418: 
I get this on Firefox Android:
It basically says "Cannot complete the request. No additional information available" :/
218 This is fine
