gollark: The bee eugenics machine takes a batch of 12 bees, scans them, picks the best ones according to our fitness function, sends the bad ones into the singularity compressor, and sends the good ones into the apiaries.
gollark: Bee genome scanning machinery.
gollark: It's quite slow.
gollark: Oh, we're doing bee eugenics.
