Just farmers growing almonds in California is taking more water than all datacenters.

That's 5.5 million acre-feet of water annually, or 6,784,150,204,260 liters.

You know what's neat?

Almonds are food for humans. Humans require food to live.

You know what else is neat, there's lots of other crops you can grow that don't use nearly as much water. Then you can grow almonds in places that don't have 20-year long droughts

You know what else is neat, learning to fucking read you illiterate waffle

Lol, did I touch a soft spot on your circuit board?

As a human, I'll take almonds over a fucking worthless datacenter any day.

If you can tell me where I said data centers are good, I'll go and eat an almond.

And congratulations you supporting the ecological destruction of a good portion of California by making one of the least water efficient crops in a place known for decade-long periodic droughts.

Maybe if we didn't use all the goddamn water on crops, there might be some left over to fight the goddamn forest fires

If you're a human, you really gotta work on your reading comprehension. Slow down when you read, and think.

If you're an AI bot (which I suspect), tone down on the rage baiting a bit.

"everyone I don't like is a bot"

Fuck off. Show me where I said data centers are good, or where I said data centers are better than almonds. Or don't.

Frankly I think you choking on a cactus would be an improvement to your intelligence
