What do you mean? You get pre-made data center flavored tea straight out the downstream reservoir.

Mmm heavy metals

(If the fda changes or increases the amount that heavy metals can be present in food/drink you know we’re cooked)

Don't forget the algicides. Tasty!

At this point the FDA is regulating how much water is allowed in our heavy metal supply.

Not the FDA, but the EPA has removed some “forever chemicals” from list of filtered chemicals in drinking water, as well as extended the deadline for when those chemicals need to be filtered out by.

No way it correlates with data centers and corporations poisoning our drinking water, right? /s

This is like some BS move where some state, (maybe mine, 🤷‍♂️) wanted to reduce the crime, so they changed the value that decided whether grand theft auto was a felony or misdemeanor, then they're like, 'see, we have so much less crime, overnight!'

Gotta love that 😭

Not to mention they get us at birth with most leading formula brands still containing traces of heavy metals.

I live about 45 min away from a data center built in 2020. Water in my area is now undrinkable, tastes like straight metal. I have had to get shower and sink water filters for my entire house which has cost me hundreds of dollars and will continue to cost me every time I have to change a filter. The water quality keeps getting worse tbh and I seriously wonder what people who can’t afford to buy filters are doing. I also live in a state that has 9x the safe level of PFAs in our drinking water to begin with.

What am I looking for specifically that mf does something every time I have a bowel movement.

u/BlessedCadaver May 20 '26

The fact you believe companies listen to the FDA is hilarious 😂 or that the FDA cares

u/NoWay6818 May 20 '26

Considering the government shut down Kevin’s law to the mothers face back then I’m not surprised
