had a terrible thought right now so i'd better share it with 1,136 fediverse followers
you know the idea that “the washing machine did more to liberate women than all the achievements of feminism?”
there's a kernel of truth to it, right.
so i thought, well, if only there were a machine to liberate women from that other great task: childrearing.
maybe in the techno-optimistic spirit of 1960's they imagined such a machine? would it be like a dishwasher but instead of racks of dishes you just put the child in.
but then i was smacked in the face by the horrible realisation that it already exists, and it's called… the iPad
🙂 i'm sorry/you're welcome 🙃
@hikari I read that as "childbearing" until the punchline and was like "oh god, is this a Dune bit?" 
@hikari finally, the secret to child rearing is mine!
