List of Cautions

"Eventually we're going to have to accept the fact that 4chan is just /b/ with a lot of amusing side quests."

This is a List of Cautions that appear in the 2006-2008 4chan archive. A caution, as described on the /b/ memes page, is "A meme in which you warn of what you are about to be requesting or what is currently in the thread. The text would be some sort of unicode symbol above and below the text of "CAUTION:", with the following caution being directly after." Unfortunately, the unicode used above and below the caution text did not translate clearly during the 2006-2008 4chan archival and onlys shows as "????????????????????", meaning the original text is lost. If the thread in which the caution originated has been put into the Archived /b/ Threads page it will be linked. If not, there will be no link. If they were linked, simply ctrl+f to find them in the thread.

CAUTION: COPYPASTA PARADOX
????????????????????
????????????????????
????????????????????

Written exactly like this. The reason for this is probably because the outer structure of the "CAUTION:" meme itself is a copypasta, and the post itself was in a thread exemplifying another copypasta, so it was copypasta².
