This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, particularly in the context of critical infrastructure providers such as hospitals. However, I always got stuck on the fact that anyone could return such a status code to deter attackers, which would ultimately render the indicator meaningless.
Came here to post the same thing, not only is it derivative over HTTP 418 Teapot, but it's generated with AI.
I'm amazed how people think they are contributing anything by being a meat proxy. In the cases of serious proposals it's hard to disprove, but in the case of a joke, it's just ridiculous on its face.
I get that there was a fridge hack, but there's also no jokes regarding that, it's just a bland HTTP 418 like RFC but with teapots replaced with Fridges
If you can't see what's different between spamming synthetic text as being one's own, and incorporating 2 bits of entropy from Pangram into my analysis, I don't know what to tell ya.
Considering 418 is the positive assertion, suddenly reversing that would break backwards compatibility; additionally, it adds ambiguity by listing multiple entities it is not, leaving the receiver to potentially assume that it is, for example, a microwave.
EDIT: missed the positive part remaining, sorry. I maintain that the ambiguity issue stands.
Yes, but that would make sense if the header was "I _Am_ a Freezer", then it should NOT return "I Am a Freezer" just because the server is merely cold. Now it's admonishing against the opposite of what someone might think to do.
I suppose we can iterate over the problems this would solve. It's not lost on me that we might want to reverse it into a positive assertion, as in code 418, but it might night to be split as in "I'm an air-conditioner", "I'm a heat pump", "I'm a refrigerator", "I'm a freezer", "I'm a cryogenic freezer", and further qualifications.
This is just HTTP 418 with s/teapot/freezer/ and a run through a slop machine. A good April Fool's joke is not just copying someone else's joke and switching a couple of words around.

Why would it return `I'm Not a Freezer` because it's cold?
That said, is this truly a 4xx error? It seems to be a server problem, not a client problem, that the server is not a freezer.
Will revision 01 put more detail into §11 and §12?
They can still hold approval and publish it on April 1st.
But, then, there is no guarantee humanity will survive that long ;-)
Over on Reddit they call this phenomenon "your joke but worse": https://www.reddit.com/r/YourJokeButWorse/
