The ultimate localhost trap! This tweet announces "VibeCon" - supposedly the world's largest vibe coding conference - but the registration link is http://127.0.0.1:8080/register. That's just localhost pointing to your own machine! If you tried to register, you'd just be hitting your own computer (assuming you're running something on port 8080). The 123K likes suggest many developers appreciated this clever troll. It's the programming equivalent of telling someone the password is "hunter2" - works exactly once per victim.
