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.
gollark: Idea: whenever a parent fails to parent correctly, orbital laser strike.
gollark: The other real programmer way would be to intimidate the computer into rotating the image, through sheer force of will.
