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
Xeriscape in phoenix not only uses little to no water but it looks less ridiculous and doesn’t need to be replanted once a year like our summer/winter grass bullshit here but nah it’s all a sea of green in the desert
And / nvm chip fabs and server farms
Indeed and / of course on that front we have fuckloads of high heat capacity concrete making our city a heat island and a paucity of solar which should be covering every roof and carpark to provide energy and shade
I want a future without lawns for environmental reasons and also because it is Sunday morning in the suburbs and right now I can hear at least 4 lawn mowers/blowers.
Love the sound and smell of a ridiculously inefficient two-stroke engine putting I completely combusted oil and gas into the air in the morning !
On that note / also fuck those god damned loud af two-stroke mini bikes poisoning the air when I’m walking through my neighbourhood or a park
Right there with you. Mowing the lawn is my least favorite chore. Especially since I live under rule of an HOA which is super picky about lawn maintenance and presentation.
Seriously when there is such a huge excess of something worthless like potable water it’s almost criminal not to dispose of vast quantities of it like this !
