Edison

Just as the ducks at the park are free, there is also no legal requirement to answer the phone in particular way. Hit folks with a, "Ahoyhoy", "Howdy", "Whats good brother?", or for the more adventurous, "Ralphs Roadkill Cafe. You kill it, we grill it."

Moshi Moshi

Edison deserves hate for more than that

Fuck Edison.

slow heavy breathing

Edison was a cunt.

Edison was apparently quite successful, to the point where some languages other than English have a word that sounds like "hello" (for example, Russian "allo") which is used only when answering the phone.

Funny thing: "Hello" was actually not a common greeting until that point.

So apparently the new shit spam evil calls can record the most minimal sample of your voice and then spoof it to your friends and family…

It almost seems worth saying nothing until ‘they’ say something, but then, what if they are a spoofed caller…

Oh shit. Just don’t use phones any more.

opens phone, "...moshi mo..." infinibonked for weebery

Had to look it up, and the story is actually really interesting. Heres a great article from NPR

Ahoy hoy

Ahoy, guys.

Be the change you want to see in this world, don't let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

my go-to when im forced to answer unknown callers is "who is this?". then i disconnect if they dont answer my question

Thomas Edison kinda looks like my granduncle who was beating his wife.

Let's compromise!

Alloy.

Or what we can agree on: HO. Omg Santa was right all along.

Imagine Edison trying to patent the "hello" greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".

I answer with "Yes?"

It gets straight to the point

Pronto

When I see a post like this, I see a new friend.

Fuck Edison you idea stealing cuck.

Holy shit, the Captain had it right all along!

Yo bitch.

"What do you want?" is how I've been answering the phone of late.

In Korean, answering call has a very specific phrase 여보세요. It means look here but the phrase is now only and solely used when answering call.

does nobody remember Antonio Meucci anymore?
