Didn't someone make one of those before? I have this vague memory of seeing NinjaPoodle checking things off. I could be totally wrong though.

I think there have been some threads where people started posting cliches, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no "master list". Search isn't working for me -

crazy newbie GCer? check
Tom Earp response? check
snarky response from Dionysus/AF/whoever else? check
Senurset I "i'm so hot" hijack? check
cat macro? check
"intimidated by my hotness" reference
a DITY? wisecrack
a threat of being reported
train wreck insert
cameo by SHEETCAKE, The Grapist, or anyone else of GC yesteryear
GCer playing devil's advocate
GCer attempting to get back on OT
virtual snacks
GC BFF declarations
"in before the lock" declarations

ETA: mention of AI and/or writing recommendations

and lastly, one of two things:
the actual lock, or
another GC newbie (or drunk GC regular) resurrecting the thread with a really thoughtful response, unbeknowst to them that the thread is like 50 million years old.
