gollark: There seems to be a lot of disagreement about how you actually should.
gollark: ARM5000™ can read story books to children at a rate of 2KB/s, tuck in 500 beds per hour, produce 10 meals for young children a minute, and use optimized pathfinding and scheduling to take children to school 27% more efficiently than human parents.
gollark: Idea: have children be raised by Automatic Raising Machine 5000™.
gollark: That is actually a nice idea. I wonder where the parent-raising thing came from.
gollark: This would quickly weed bad parents out of the population. Also all parents.
