They spoke only in screams and screetches. We muzzled them, making their screams shorter and faster, turning their anger to photons blasting each other in a single red eye connected to a glass tube.

They’re still speaking, but at much higher vibes.

Well, they don’t have mouths, and therefore they cannot scream.

This device, specifically, is a acoustic coupler. They were an early form of the more general category of modems.

I had a cassette tape drive for my Tandy computer, and if you put your computer cassette into a regular tape player it would sound just like modem noises.
It’s funny how the same basic tech can have so many implementations.

Just like the blue whales, they are now turning silent as their natural habitat is dying.

It’s perfect that this has 111 points and no comments. No one has anything to add, we’re all just like “yup.”
