I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that's why it's used. Apparently it's also just a casual way of saying "I'm ready to talk" and was used by early telephone operators in Japan. It's most likely people just ended up copying the phrase from operators and aren't worried about being tricked by foxes.
Mosh moof
Fuck, I can't do it, they're right!
Better luck next time, nine-tails.

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say "moshi". With "moshi moshi" you get a 2-for-1 special.
Japanese people answer their phone like that, everything is fine.
I answer my phone like that, I'm branded a weaboo for the rest of my life.
Fuck Edison.
Graham-bell isn't better. He was super duper ableist and pressured Helen Keller to identify with her blindness instead of her deafness
opens phone, "...moshi mo..." infinibonked for weebery
Ahoy, guys.
Be the change you want to see in this world, don't let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.
my go-to when im forced to answer unknown callers is "who is this?". then i disconnect if they dont answer my question
"Who dares to disturb my slumber?"

Thomas Edison kinda looks like my granduncle who was beating his wife.
When I see a post like this, I see a new friend.
Fuck Edison you idea stealing cuck.
I heard he electrocuted an elephant.
Yeah because he wanted to make Teslas ac electricity look evil, but just made everyone there hate him.
Pronto
Based Meucci enjoyer
Holy shit, the Captain had it right all along!
"What do you want?" is how I've been answering the phone of late.
