What do you mean, "that's *probably* impossible" to make 6 babies from the same mother in a single year? Takes about 9 months to output a human, you know?

Ha! Nine women can have that baby in one month; management says so.
It’s not impossible to have sextuplets.
It’s probably impossible for a population to average that rate though.

It can also be done months faster getting multiple humans though.
Twins and larger multiples are a thing...
> Takes about 9 months to output a human
Takes about 9 months to output N humans where N approaches to 1 on large averages as even twin births are like 1.2 percent.
Also many females cannot be pregnant again for a while after giving birth, even if we had sped up the pregnancy.
To average 6 babies, we need something like giving birth to triplets every 5 months in average, which improbable even if we had the technology, will and the economics that could support this.
But you know, "improbable" is such a funny word, especially out of context :)
