In The Matrix, how are babies made?
Being stuck in a pod by yourself makes it kinda difficult to get intimate with someone in the real world.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
They use robo arms to just rub people's limp bodies together.
Upvote for the hillarious image in my head.
For me, that, but with “Now Procreate!”
It's cloning. That how Neo has been born over and over again.
The machines stores the generic code of all the first humans they put in pods and then they just crank out copies.
I completely forgot about that part of the movie. Thanks for the reminder!
I think you are due for a re-watch! It's great when it's been a few years and you can enjoy some of the bits you forgot about.
Unfortunately we can never experience the big reveal for the first time again. It was absolutely mind-blowing watching him wake up in the pod on the big theater screen for the first time. That was the coolest movie experience I've ever had.
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. So many firsts to revisit
Are you saying to watch ESotSM, or to utilize its one weird trick?
Both
Sorry, who are you?
Unfortunately I cannot forget even a second of The Matrix.
Fortunately, I don’t need to. It’s like listening to this yet again. It’s beautiful even though I know every note and can listen to the whole thing in my head any time I want: https://youtu.be/LZ48G9UziRs?si=WdHnkS5bvDNdF1wv

They actually touch on it in the animated movie that spanned a series of vignettes from that universe.
Spoiler alert: it ain’t pretty.
Animatrix movie?
The word "matrix" literally means "womb" in its older sense.
It also refers to a 2D array of numbers in linear algebra. This data structure is used to store the synaptic weights of an artificial neural network.
It really is a deeply-thought-out movie.
Why even grow them with arms and legs if they are just going to be batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just grow cows instead?
Because shut up. /s
But really though, the entire concept of using humans as batteries is absurd. Don't think too hard about it, just enjoy the movie.

They mate sprem and egg in lab then grown in vat, which is better. Or clone, could be worst.
I don't know about y'all but I can't even get aroused anymore without having a robot spider jacking me off.
Gotta wonder how that robot feels about humanity
Sticky, mostly.
Meh, it's a living!
"It's a living..."
That robot is most likely not sentient.
Cummy spiders 😩😩😩
That's some Rule 34 material right there.
Eww I was just going to suggest it goes through all the little tubes attached anyway I'm leaving before I see anything else
That’s just a succubus/incubus.
They probably extract sperm and eggs and gestate them right in the pods
You see, when a daddy battery and mommy battery love each other they hug and grunt and that's how babby formed
No they just merge their codebases and create a new life that way.
Example:
What's her problem
You mean ram sticks
"combined with a form of fusion"
it's right there in the script
Enhanced mitochondria. The powerhouse of 01
What if reincarnation? When someone dies in the Matrix, their body gets reconnected to another baby in the Matrix. As for how the human population is maintained outside of the Matrix... either the machines keep catching more humans, or something like artificial insemination. Or cloning
No, if you die in the Matrix you die in real life
The body cannot survive without the mind
My neighbor begs to differ. That jackass is completely brain dead.
Hehe.
You think that’s air you’re breathing?
It's actually microplastics
“Are you saying I can dodge taxes?”
“No, neocapitalism, I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”
"If you can dodge taxes, you can dodge a ball"
Did you see the player with the red ball?
Huh?
Look again?

But why would the bother with this? How would that help with anything?
That would actually be a good idea. With people growing up and learning on their own, you don't have a fully controlled system. The world inside the Matrix will be evolving and from time to time there will be some glitch somewhere. If you have a base of defined childhoods, then only physical differences between bodies and random occurences inside are uncontrolled
If I were to construct the Matrix, I would go after cloning (fewer biological lottery) and predefined lifepaths to keep everything nice and stable
Kinda reminds me of Brave New World
Well, they also were after stability
Imagine a power plant based on millions of hampsters running on wheels. And some kind of video game that gets them to run.
It doesn't have to be hamsters
Baby, you got a loosh goin’
