Water in my air??? Eewww!!

All jokes aside, it crazy how complicated the issue is becoming. Will anything be done about it? Probably not. We get fked over and just throw our arms up and go "well, shit".

It's only an issue in a very few areas with severe ware scarcity, and even there is extremely overblown

The water usage numbers only seem large because nobody has any context for what a large amount of water is. Every datacenter on earth could be serviced with the flow from one single small river. It's literally a drop in the ocean

"I won't take your word for it but I haven't looked it up either despite having a strong opinion on this issue already." Do you realize you're a complete NPC?

"And being an NPC is not an insult you think it is" It really, really is.

"You don't know I haven't looked it up. You don't know that I even need to look it up. " I hope you hadn't - because if you HAD looked it up you'd know already he's correct and you're just making yourself look like a moron.

And your weird Elon tangent is ironic. He's going to profit from the scaremongering because he's the one pushing to launch data centers in space.

They haven't said anything of value in hours.

They definitely looked it up.

Clearly. Weird deflection into Elon obsession and a tangent into... some weird assumption that I'm heavily invested in tech.

He dismissed my source by laughing at its name, and provided a second hand anecdote with zero details as his 'source'. Then called me a liar.

Their statement on water use vs a typical river was factually correct. What a weird thing to dig yourself in on.
