Those figures are from the sources YOU shared…

yes, and they're A HUGE PROBLEM, not the insignificant rounding error you make it sound like. You idiots are consuming enormous amounts of potable water from muni supplies and letting it fucking evaporate, you smooth brained dolt.

I’m a leftist liar.

if you're a leftist you're the shittiest leftist I've ever encountered. There's nothing emotional involved aside from your sycophancy for AI kiddo.

Oh and my amazement that you're so stupid to continue

Did you just look at those big numbers and forget to contextualize that around our existing water usage? That's embarrassing...

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

THE EXISTING WATER USAGE KEEPS US ALIVE YOU FUCKING MORON.

And many of those muni water supplies are at risk. And why should they have to pay more for water because some asshole wants to evaporate MILLIONS OF GALLONS computing inference shit?

do you have any fucking point?

This entire discourse is lost on your because you're enamored with something and don't care about the effects.

AI is not to blame for decades of deregulation. They are already doing this with beef, almonds, soy... Ad infinitum...

Cope harder. You're just choosing to overlook the ENORMOUS waste behind the things YOU care about. You're a hypocrite.
