It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits
for years I've made fun of "conserve water! take short showers!" as California's response to endless drought, citizens taking the heat for hotels and agriculture using the VAST majority of what's left of our aquifer
I lived out in the Mojave Desert (Ridgecrest) and the number of people living in the middle of the Desert with lawns was truly distressing. Legit water crisis, sprinklers pissing half the water into the street.
Turf lawns need to die.
In my hometown (Escondido) a lot of the lawns got converted to drought-resistant landscaping which does kinda kill the illusion that you aren’t in the desert but also integrates with the environment a lot better and looks less artificial
It definitely changes the character of neighborhoods, and that can be hard; but I've seen some really lovely natural landscaping! And I'd take lava rock yards over running out of water any day, really.
