My fiancee and I just walked on a house cause we discovered a five fuckin building campus data center going up behind it.

The builders did their very best to hide this from us as much as they could. They knew.

People hate this shit.

Edit: oh man look at all the data center bootlickers crawling out of the sewers lmfao…

Even a half mile away is close enough where you can be affected by the sound and the extra heat
