That was my thought exactly, with the addition of something along the lines of: "gee, it must have flown through Thanksgiving dinner"

You hear about the dwarf psychic that escaped prison?
He's a small medium at large
Tintinabulation!
It's not as direct an onomatopoeia as your example, but it so perfectly encapsulates the experience of hearing the bells, bells, bells, that it counts imo
I mean, dude does seem pretty rapey. I wouldn't leave my chickens alone with him.
Nah, it's only gay if you like it
I think the app ecosystem of Smart Cats is good enough to make up for the loss in simplicity from Stupid Cats
One problem
Batteries.
I've used old devices as many things: security cameras, a form of intercom, digital picture frames, etc. The real problem is that the batteries eventually go bad, and become dangerous.
For the few devices that have realistically replaceable batteries, that's no big deal, but how many of those are left now?
No thanks to the potential fire, I'll pass. The few devices I have left that I can swap batteries out are becoming harder to find new batteries for as well, so that's an issue beyond their anemic hardware (I'm talking really old tablets at this point)
Oh boy! Dogging in the park at night! Can't wait to get into some of that!
You've already gotten the formal and, thus, best answer.
However, formal writing isn't the only writing the same way formal speaking isn't the only speaking.
A semicolon can serve to break up sentences into segments when it's really long and contains commas out the wazoo already. It makes such things more readable.
I've also seen them used informally to indicate a longer pause in speech than a comma, but not as long as that indicated by a period.
Think of a period as when someone would pause, take a breath, then start again. A comma is just the pause; a semicolon would be the kind of quick breath you use when commanding, singing, or otherwise using your voice for an extended span where stopping for a full breath isn't desired.
Again those are informal uses, but they do exist and can become a formal use given enough time and adoption. The problem is that until that happens, it's confusing for anyone that reads them that is more familiar with formal writing. So, as a communication tool, using them informally can be ineffective. Kind of a tossup tbh.
Yeah, if you ever run across the theories of how dogs became so close to us, it started with wolves being willing to take the risks of scavenging near us, and eventually co-evolving (until selective breeding started).
Actively, intentionally domesticating a species is a slow process overall, and it wasn't something that I've seen any specialists suggest would have been the case with dogs, or cats.
You assume it's a one-way street.
Humans having a proclivity towards "cute" animals is as much an evolved trait as animals becoming "cuter" to better adapt to presence.
Hell, for that matter, it isn't just us that have a proclivity towards "cuteness". It exists in plenty of species, we just tend to be the ones most prone to it outside of very similar species.
It is absolutely evolution because it isn't selective.

Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.
Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn't a slight against any of them.
Eternity is another one that I've had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that's a useful option.
Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren't likely to enjoy that ui.
On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren't great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they're even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They're reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.
