Theme parks are already filled with robotics powering roller coasters and turning It's a Small World into a pancultural cauldron of singing nightmares.

Your last Twitter flame war?

I have two words for you, sex robot.
These things are so real you don't even want to date humans anymore.
Sure, you look like a creep if you're taking one on a date, but this is the future, you don't care.
And did you know that robots can walk now?
If you didn't know you haven't been watching the Boston Dynamics YouTube channel, also known as This is how you'll die one day.
They can jump, climb stairs, and even open doors.
