Funny loading sentences to keep users amused

Introduction

Been busy coding like hell? Wanna let some heat off with easy points? This task is just for you. To test your level of humor. (Just kidding XD)

Who doesn't love funny loading screens? GitMate team has been busy working out some of them. Check out the repositories tab on https://gitmate.io to watch them live.

Here are some examples..

  • Opening pod bay doors...
  • Waiting for the right moment...
  • Downloading the internet...
  • Testing your patience...
  • Buying some server space...
  • Hang on a second, I know your data is somewhere here...
  • Sending sheep to Mars...
  • Stealing your passwords...
  • Gathering your credit card info...
  • Shovelling coal into our servers...

Objective

Your task is to add more such sentences. Check our list here. Make sure you don't repeat them and you do not post the ones listed above.

Once you've got ideas, road test your sentences on your friends to see which of them are more delightful than others and come up with more ideas together with them. Ideally you have a growing list of sentences that you then reduce to only the best ones because quality is more important than quantity.

When you got a short list, post them on your task instance. Please DO NOT post them on GitLab (yet).

Assessment

Once the mentor accepts your work, you can then send in a pull request to gitmate-2-frontend repository stating only one (best) sentence per student. Quality is more important than quantity.

Check the external URL below for the issue.
