Of course the ladder doesn't know about Steve's feelings! It's a ladder! Steve never confides in the ladder so the ladder is clueless!

Doesn't every town have a piranha? Are things different over in Europe you don't have Town Piranhas?

Of course in the dystopian future our Smart Ladders will be linked to Amazon's or Google's AIs and they will listen to everything we say and attempt to deduce our feelings before we know them ourselves for economic exploitation.

But Steve is still in 1986, so he's safe.

[james]

True.

I wonder if they put piranha when they meant pariah?

But piranha is actually great!

[cimorene]

Yes, I'm confident that that's what they meant.
