>>109360831>cloudyeah i don't think it's that. not all of it. some of it's probably storage. i think the gov has got these assholes building giant crypto farms all over the place because the dollar is about to collapse.
i will never understand this memehow does a building drink water?
>>109360831Paper mills are massive water guzzlers too. Also lots of acid

>datacenters use lots of le waterhas to be the most obvious op of our timeagriculture accounts for as much water use as all other public and industrial consumption twice over, datacenters will not put the slightest dent into water consumption
>>109365055>agriculture accounts for as much water use as all other public and industrial consumption twice over,Most agriculture is not in cities or using city water supply.And feeding people is much more important than generating slop.
>>109365152>Most agriculture is not in cities or using city water supply.Retard>And feeding people is much more important than generating slop.Yes, which is why the market will keep allocating water to ag.>slopI know you just make CP with it but some of us do work.How much did the Chinese guy pay for that post btw?

>>109365937Ownership is just one big club and you ain't in it.Just like engravings on stone, only a limited number of people will have access to ownership and usage.
>>109360831Oh shit is THAT why they called it the cloud?
>>109365981Back in the day the writing was actually in symbols that everyone understood what they said. It took some steps in abstraction and simplification until only a mall scribe class could read and write stuff.
>>109366017Your argument is that literacy in the ancient world was 100%?I would like to see evidence for such a claim, especially considering everything relied on oral traditions for the common people.
>>109366042Look at early cuneiform tablets, you can still understand what they say even though we're not a distributionist agricultutal society. Like 5 dots next to a bowl next to a wheat symbol. Can't express grammar or complex verbs that way, so no story telling unless you fill in the blanks with verbs and grammar.
>>109365937>>109366083Clay tablets survived by accident IIRC, from housefires hardening them and keeping them burried. Digital is still superior because you can copy paste it ad infinitum and zap it to the other side of the world instantly. You can keep multiple copies of the textual content of Wikipedia on a card smaller than a toenail.

>>109364021People are stupid and repeat Chinese targeted propaganda about how much cooling water is used on evaporative cooling.If you spray a small amount of water on a cooling coil of an AC you get a huge amount of cooling, making the AC work better. When the water mist is evaporated after hitting the hot condenser it's easy to cool it back down with outside air, even when hot outside and have it rain back down in the cooler. The biggest units are the conical cooling towers found on nuclear power plants. Small units look like stacked Chinese take out boxes.They use some water, but not very much for the amount of cooling they generate. They could skip it and just use more power, but water is cheaper than electricity.
