I don't have any kids nor can I see myself having any soon. And yet I want to be able to feel the joys of parenthood. There must be others in my same shoes.

Now that it's the 2000s and kids cost around 90 thousand dollars a year until they are 35 rather than the 1800s when kids started to bring in a reasonable factory wage at 7, and now that complex organic life is about to be destroyed forever because we are too lazy to stop eating French fries, it's time someone invented something that spreads traditional procreativiry-related rewards around to traditionally non-procreativity-related actions.

In other words, save the planet with this new automatic poop recognition and praising system.

Upon recognition of the sound of either primary or secondary excretion this system will run algorithms that determine an optimized reward structure designed to grow pride and parental feelings, and play an associated praise.

ie:

"Praise be to the lord it's a new born King!"

My toddler has a hand-me-down training potty that has a sensor eye that triggers a reward song whenever the beam is interrupted. This has resulted in my younger daughter's discovery that if she puts her hand in there, she is rewarded with music, and warmth.

She probably has to put her hand all the way in to get to the warmth.
