The waste water of the cows is highly nitrogenated and filled with salts.

The waste water of the data centers is warm.

Big fucking difference.

You can simply wait on data center water to cool off before it's ready for reuse.

the earth is going to run out of water because the cows are going to drink it all

How does watching TV consume any significant amount of water?
>>

Never really got that... Like, they piss and sweat it back out, it evaporates, rises, forms new clouds which unload rain. Water is a circle right? We had that in school...

>>106509837
If we replace every cow with 20 corn fed vegans... Maybe... JUST MAYBE... Humanity will be forgiven its racist sins

>>106509837
nice
Now do water consumption for producing one desktop PC. You can exclude the case and peripherals and assume it's an ATX size motherboard.

Maybe we could use cow piss to cool our GPU's
If we put a few cows in each home we could not only distribute the methane concentration around we could also cool our PCs and have free milk
I think it's time we evolved to a fully bovine economy

Televisions work with electricity and power plant use a lot of water for cooling.
In the same way, making infrastructure to produce all this holywood/netflix garbage uses a lot of water.
In the same way, growing TV cattle uses a lot of water. It can take decades and lots and lots of water to make a TV audience retard.

Is that for "one hamburger" or "one cow, to make hamburgers"?

Another issue is the nitrogen runoff polluting rivers and wetlands. The stocking rate has increased compared to historical levels due to modern irrigation schemes. Also, as the value of land increases it puts pressure on anyone with a mortgage on the land to increase stocking rates. In my country many rivers have too much nitrogen runoff from beef and diary farming.
I think the question we should be asking is, what do we care about more? Having clean rivers or milking every but of value we can get out of land?

the increase is from runoff of fertilizer used in crops

Cannibalism is bad for your health as you would contract prion diseases such as kuru.

It's for one cow. It is also very disingenuous as we make way more stuff than just hamburgers. We use every single part of the cow for something.

>>106510289
>>106510560
Its incredibly disingenuous because the source study which estimated water usages for livestock included rainfall IE its entirely bullshit

How much water do Americans waste on their lawns?

Well, unless you start killing people that water usage will not go down, so it should be added to the ChatGPT answer as well.

>>106509837
Why did you compare the cost of producing a cow with operating cost of already produced slop center?
>>
The people still trying to push the "environmental dangers" of AI all deserve fucking jail time.

Go do dumb shit on your own time, and STOP TRYING TO DELAY THE SINGULARITY.

damn, I wonder how much water does it need to support 7+ children of brown immigrants

Where are you from friend? Where I am from dairy farming contributes most to nitrogen runoff, followed by beef and sheep, then last is fertilizer.

it's true in general i think. more and more fertilizer is being used. banning cows probably wont change anything. where are you from?

But muh ranges ...

Please ignore that every range in existence is being hit with soil depletion. We're at peak everything, it's all downhill from here resource wise. Nothing is sustainable, nothing is properly recycled. If AI doesn't save us, Malthus is going to get the last laugh.
