Advertisement call
The advertisement call of the species is an energetic, high-pitched series of notes, emitted often in the early hours of the morning.
gollark: And cost lots.
gollark: Apparently the Firefox app says "∞" on the tab counter if you have 100 or more.
gollark: On this I can maybe do it with some weird screwdrivers I ~~can't~~ don't have. On some you need to unglue the screen or something.
gollark: Well, possibly, though it seems like a lot of trouble especially on some new ones.
gollark: No notch: don't like it aesthetically.Removable battery: current phone is suffering from battery issues, don't want that again.
