Add more joke loading messages

So, you know when a project takes a while to load, there is a joke message that says, “Inflating Gobos”? Well scratch team should add more of these joke loading messages such as, “Scratching Cats” and “Multiplying Teras” It'll make the loading screen much more fun and there's no cons as far as I can tell.
current ideas:
Scratching Cats
Multiplying Teras
Growing Gigas
Boarding Picos(credit)

I mean, if they're so rare, when would anybody actually see these? Also, I've played a few projects that take a while to load, but I've never seen the message. To add on to this suggestion, maybe some sort of graphic? If it's just text, it would be slightly pointless and hard to see.

I was thinking it would be more common

That poses another “issue”-if it's common, then what's the point in having it? It's just a piece of text, so Scratchers might get annoyed when they see it more often.

I would prefer to have more joke messages, but keep it as rare as they are right now

Something like

“Appling some bananas”

There are more common ones, and there are different messages that show.

Why? In the forums, you should be specific. Try to be constructive and explain why-the Suggestions forum aren't a poll system.

Jokes aside, I support as well. There's no harm in having a few extra joke loading messages. It would entertain those who have slow internet or are loading a big project.

I have a list of the loadings

Creating blocks …
Loading sprites …
Loading sounds …
Loading extensions
Creating blocks
Herding cats …
Transmitting nanos.
Inflating gobos
Preparing emojis

Why do we need more?
But then you may see that Scratch Cat, Nano and Gobo is mentioned here…

“Boarding picos” would be a fun reference to old Scratch.

Funny
Wrong type of board I think

Anyways, this seems fun and it doesn’t cause any harm, just something to keep you entertained while loading projects. Support

Support. While there isn't really any real benefit from this, it would just be funny.

“seeing paddles” would be fun but it would have to be very rare

I don't think most people would get that as most people don't use the forums

most forum citizens would get it, though i guess it doesn't really have a “loading” sense to it. this one probably wouldn't happen but “harvesting za charies”
