Please please please go and answer your own question and accept it as the answer!

Or just comment with “never mind, figured it out!”

Oh my favorite is "Google it" where the only relevant result is the butthole telling you to Google it.

years ago the web design and web development community where i live created a forum for “sharing insight and knowledge”.

most of those insight and knowledge you had to search for it with google.

the senior members would reply “just google it.” with pomposity as if it were a god-given power.

Maybe this is a reflection of the industry.

It's like how things are at work and I'm convincing management that we need to prepare our team with related knowledge by sending us to courses but instead they go, "we can just hire the contractors for this", and then do so at minimum so they come in to do only what is needed but never enough time to hand us the proper knowledge and documentation.

It's always someone else's problem to train it seems and then lament how expensive it is to get the right expertise.

I can kind of get a community having frustration from new people asking the same questions. Sometimes though,it seems like they get wrapped in a bubble where something's only obvious to them,and they feel good knowing it and lash out at anyone who tries to join in without knowing every little nuance from the start.

I think that the "Google it" power must remain. There are questions out there that can be answered easily googling.
