The Slop Manifesto's Take on static

A particular hum precedes static in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on static, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
