What is Emergency Brew?

Emergency Brew's an open source HTTP 418 teapot prank site that crashes devices with GPU bombs and alarms after a fake brew button.

Does Emergency Brew crash phones?

Yes — canvas loops tank FPS to 5, alarms blast, and it hijacks media. Desktops survive; mobiles melt.

Absolutely — from 1998 RFC 2324 April Fools' joke. Servers must confess: can't brew coffee. Iconic.
