  For anyone wondering: the talking after removing batteries is because there is a separate battery charged inside a Furby so the memory stores, so if the memory battery dies, the Furby should reboot its personality once you give it power.

  I think the main reason Furbies go haywire so often is due to the fact they are a wonderful combination of fairly sophisticated and built cheaply, meaning that there is a whole plethora of epic ways they can fail

  “Sometimes it picks up and messes with radio signals.” No wonder they didn’t want them in the pentagon, they’re damn electronic warfare devices tf?

  I once explored an abandoned trailer in the woods behind my house. A lot of weird shit in there, but one of the weirdest things was a large fish tank, that was completely full of all kinds of different sized furbys. They never talked or made any noises when I was in there, but damn it was a weird thing to see

  Yokonuma actually translates to &quot;beside wetlands&quot; meaning if that&apos;s a ghost, you may be dealing with someone buried near wetlands

  &quot; If Shaken too roughly, furby may change personalities&quot;<br>&quot; Due to Hardware failure, furby may think he is constantly shaking&quot;

  I love how no one is talking about the fact that they can pick up and mess with radio frequencies

  One time after a loud crack of thunder, it activated my furby, which was quite the surprise.<br><br>...<br><br>It did not have batteries in it.

  My furby didn&apos;t malfunction, it just ran out of batteries. I was six, playing with my sister who was four, when the furby started getting a lower voice gradually. We got scared really bad, we put it in the closet and heard its last calls of agony, getting more and more distorted and weird, until it finally died. To make matters worse, I don&apos;t remember it ever speaking with words, just sounds. This scared my sister and I so much that to this day we both perfectly recall the event despite the fact that it was so long ago. I did not expect her to remember but she didn&apos;t have to think about it when I asked her.

  When I was a kid, I got gifted a furby at my grandparent’s house. He would never shut up though, so I left him there. Now he just sits on the counter. Menacingly. He’s even there during thanksgiving. I think he’s apart of the family now, and will probably be passed down generations. We love you Todd.
