Zero Dawn was '17. So they were already making the robot WAY before that.

Also they called the robot EATR

Longest dog is only largest dog in 1 dimension, overall largeness is presumably a seperate category

No no, it's worse than that. The real victims here are the people who'd intended to pay one scammer but ended up paying a different scammer entirely! Tragic, really. The made-up bullshit they received was very probably different to the made-up bullshit they'd have received if they'd managed to waste their money on the correct con artist.

Not to "that's the joke" this post but if psychics were real, they would be meteorologists. Touching a size 2 shoe from 1986 and saying "your sweet boy is dead" is a weird application of a useful ability.

looking at humanity in general, probably most woud be stock market pickers or garbage like that. after that, about an equal mix of true altruists for unsolved cases & weird creeps using it for stalking. maybe a dash of chaotic weirdos who will sidle up to you at a party and be like "five years from now, your mom will drive by a restaurant and see your brother eating there, but she won't go in because he is with his wife and she is going to visit you, and she will tell you this story when she arrives at your home, in five years" just because it gets them off to make you go "huh?" and then knowing youll go "wtf" in five years

as a shut-in, i would probably use it to know if a thing i was considering buying was gonna go on sale soon

maybe also to know where to plant a turd/banana/coffee filter for jerks to slip and fall on

I went to a fortune teller in Korea with a friend who said she'd been to the same fortune teller before and he was incredibly inaccurate (but fun). The guy spent about 20 minutes determining all aspects of her future based on the shape of her nose. Turns out the pre-nose job reading was wildly inaccurate, but the post-nose job reading was right on the money.

If I was psychic (assuming I could see indefinitely into the future) I would commit crimes / perpetrate mysteries that I knew would never be solved. In a single lifetime I could create enough unsolved mysteries to fuel centuries of podcasts and trashy tv shows.

Ian Fleming visited a fortune teller in Tokyo in 1959 and asked if he could predict his own fortune. He said no, his rival is much more accurate at that. Fleming neglected to ask if the reverse was true.

Two weeks later, the rival was murdered by a third competitor.
