I don’t know why, but “mechanical turk” keeps cropping up when I think about this sort of stuff.

Has anybody seen the movie WALL-E?

It’s probably a bit of a stretch, but I feel like this is somehow the genesis/precursor of the hoverchairs that all the adults use for everything.

(God, I hope not.)

Sounds like mine also.

Add in a 90’s medical drama of some sort with a patient flat-lining for 2 or 3 minutes straight.

Or the annoying AF “dun-dun” from whatever “law & order” series she’s watching.
