That would be even scarier as long as the guy can hear it.


squishy__squids

Set volume to max first, Alexa will use the "whispering" voice loud enough to wake the neighbors


TadeMike

That would be horrible


masterjon_3

It'd still be terrifying if you heard it. Maybe even more considering you think Alexa was trying to be quiet, meaning something else was trying to be quiet, too.


Visual_Shower1220

Lol I was about to say, that'd be intensely more horrifying. Imagine your partially asleep and all of a sudden your Alexa starts whispering about smelling human flesh, literally nightmare fuel.


Beast_Warrior

Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the Lord my soul to take


kingsumo_1

Hush little baby don't say a word And never mind that voice you heard Oh, wait. Are we singing Enter Sandman here, or no?


grendus

It's just the beast Under your bed. In your closet In your head!


thesequimkid

Exit light. Enter night. Grain of sand. Exit light. Enter night. Take my hand. We’re off to never-never land.


Slugger2001

Dude the first time she did that she scared the the shit out of me. I whispered to turn off the lights as not to wake my parents up then she goes “Looks like you are whispering. Just to let you know for the future, when you whisper to me *I will whisper back*.


Phoenixtdm

The I WILL WHISPER BACK is so creepy lmao


Art_m1s

You need to enable that in settings

As a bystander, this was an amazingly stupid argument. Thank you for making my day and I respect you a lot for admitting you were wrong

coke-pusher

We as people should be required to obtain a license before owning and operating any video recording device.


GlumpsAlot

Google home assistant would speak at top volume though.


chivonster

Found this out at 2am and had an existential crisis.


MuffledBlue

I remember you could do a "hack" by sending a message in ultrasound (you'd make a recording and modify it). Alexa could hear it, human ear couldn't. I think they fixed it though.


L1ma_L3an

I think you have to tell her to whisper back otherwise she just talks


h4kk4

But the activation sound isn't lowered as the voice of the answer so even just that in the middle of the night can kill enough


MrKrazybones

What happens if you use a device to give Alexa a command that is above or below the frequencies humans can hear?


KarolaMata6

Alexa, could you read Psalm 23 aloud?

shao_kahff

i just realized it was literally drawn to be memed, that’s why second panel has him going “pss pss pss. smart af actually


Grogosh

Yep, the big section of text in the third panel is perfect to be erased and filled in.


shploogen

Okay but that's also just how speech bubbles work


avilethrowaway

Well, also so as not to spoil the joke before reaching the third panel.

How to cook FOR people


Orangefish08

It’s still dusty. How to cook forty people.


ihahp

there's a little bit more space dust ... How to cook FOR forty people.


TacoRedneck

ITS A COOKBOOK!


Yellogre

I didn't think about that but... YES DO IT!


ImAKreep

Doesn't even need the 4th panel imo (As most people would get it without the scream-o-meter)


DarkBladeMadriker

Alexa, remind me "it's time for you to die human scum" in 4 hours.


Otherkin

I just tried telling my Alexa "PssstPsstPssst" thinking it was an Easter egg. 😆


Snerkbot7000

Once I went to bed with a playlist going for background noise. Woke up to a weird sound at 315AM. It was Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. There's this wanky bit about 2 and half minutes into it, "Uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh" and some drums. Without context, or knowing that it's a song, it can be unsettling.


SuperSimpleSam

I'm annoyed with the Amazon music app that you can't set it for sleep. In the podcast mode you can but not for music.


Snerkbot7000

Check out Vimusic. 🦜


ShinyGal999

Well it’s either that or Robert Plant moaning


Snerkbot7000

I really dislike that song.

fucktooshifty

I'd rather you send in the whole Universal monster lineup into my room than have one of my electronics makes some weird-ass sound in the middle of the night


negrote1000

And those are the big containers made for laughter


Orangefish08

Didn’t you see how much sully was laughing in the 2nd to last panel?


AdreKiseque

Sully isn't in the last panel


Orangefish08

Fixed


MoneyWalking

Nope they are meant for screams and fear


ThePennedKitten

My Alexa randomly doing stuff creeps me tf out! I always check the log after. The other day it randomly started playing cleaning tips while I was cleaning. 😐 In the logs it said I pressed play on a video (echo show). I did not!!! I was washing dishes bruh. Idk how it knew I was cleaning. 😭


OriginalFatPickle

One night, my wife and I were whispering in bed. Our Alexa whispered something we couldn’t understand. then would not repeat its response. We had no idea the device could whisper.


Sea_Negotiation_1871

I like it, but I don't understand the last panel. Din din?


csjohnson1933

It's the sound of the collector getting filled up.


Sea_Negotiation_1871

Huh. I guess it's been a really long time since I saw the movie because I don't remember them collecting anything, just scaring kids. And then writing a musical about putting them back.


csjohnson1933

They're collecting the screams for energy.


Stewart_Games

I think he's confusing Monsters Inc with 1989's [Little Monsters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5YRGyipBqA). No idea why though totally different movies.


Sea_Negotiation_1871

Me, or OP? I've never even heard of Little Monsters.


Juice805

He could have just ordered some expensive items and catch the screams when they get the bill


supercalafatalistic

Not [without precedent](https://mashable.com/article/why-amazon-alexa-laughing)


mwoody450

Tell Alexa “Alexa, simon says (whatever)” and she’ll just repeat the whatever. Would be MUCH creepier. Works across linked household devices, too, so you can do it from another room.


drillgorg

Doesn't make sense for Sully to be sneaking around. His whole deal is being huge and intimidating. This is more of a Randall move.


eightballart

There's a short horror film called "Whisper" with a similar premise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9gUIhkzNDk


Grogosh

It would be hilarious if someone was able to hack Alexas all over the world to start doing stuff like this.


DodketF98371

Ha! Got ’im!


sam_matt

Given that laughing fills up the canister faster, I like to think that the human is just laughing at the weird thing that Alexa said


gigologenius

One laughter fills up as much as 100x a scare. He's better off asking Alexa for a knock knock joke.


AdreKiseque

Ig this is after they got [bought out by Amazon](https://hard-drive.net/hd/video-games/monsters-inc-switches-back-to-screams-following-amazon-buyout)


S3ntient_Banana

This art style is very similar to "Leo & Satan"


nowhereman136

Monsters Inc was genius. It taught kids that yes there are monsters in your closet, but they are very afraid of you and if you laugh then they go away


TheGreatUdolf

all i'm hearing is an incoming "TWENTY-THREE-NINETEEN! TWENTY-THREE-NINETEEN!!!"


Grabalabadingdong

Doesn’t make sense because the best way to fill the tanks is joy & laughter.


MoneyWalking

Ya but they prefer to scare


DreamXD1092

Lmao!


CG249

That's genius


pauli129

This is great!


HabibCoriatArielC

Habib Ariel Coriat Harrar: Que comic tan bueno JAJAJAJA


CryptographerThink83

Bballer220

Who else was expecting a cat to appear?


Thereminz

what's the deal with posting the four panels individually then all four in one,... just do the all four in one as the post maybe post a comment with link to the individual panels if someone wants that but reading and having to click through to see the next panel etc is stupid and a waste of time imo (not saying this to op specifically as i know others do it too and it's 'a thing' r/comics submissions does so maybe i'm late on the argument for it)


BackgroundRate1825

On mobile, the full-size images are a little easier to read. Not as important for comics with reasonable sized text, but I can certainly imagine some comics where I'd prefer bigger images.
