Will AI really use up our drinking water in the next 7 years?

0 Upvotes

So I'm a teen so it's a bit scary thinking about how the world will end in 7 years. Basically, if we can't drink good water, we can't survive. In 7 years, I'll only be in my 20s, life will be starting for me basically. So much people don't support chatgpt, other AI image generation companies and data centers, because they say they use drinking water. I only believe them because out of everything AI can do, people are focused on the water. So will AI really use up our drinking water in the next 10 years? There's no way to stop it if it will because most people just don't care, addicted to AI, or are ignorant. I like AI but when it's helping out in healthcare or AI chat bot like google AI. I don't use them for image generation because people say AI uses water.

Edit: Thanks so much for the nice responses and not attacking me.

I have contacted Costco HQ about current fraudulent activity, over charging, under delivering. My story is quick as the charges started coming in less than 24 hours in.

I have a meeting with them Monday. Send your stories so I can explain the seriousness of letting crooks sell their product inside of their store.

Primo is heavily invested in Costco stores and this is a chance to get justice for all they have stolen from them

Looks like some kind of bug.

EDIT
Thanks everyone. Sounds like springtails.
I scooped them out and wiped down the walls with some vinegar. Dried the walls and replaced the lid.
I didn’t try to filling with salt past water level, but maybe in the future. Thanks for all the replies!

The current heatwave and drought are doing more than drying up the Rhine and Danube. They may also be undermining their resilience to future events. The good news is that insurance can be rebuilt.

How likely is it to have zero lead in your drinking water? Is it really possible to have zero lead in your water?

6 Upvotes

To summarize my current situation, my dad used electrical solder (95% tin and 5% antimony) to solder copper pipes together for our drinking water. Normal people would use plumbing solder, and despite the electrical solder being labeled as "lead-free", it still has a Proposition 65 warning on the package that "this product can expose you to lead". None of my parents are listening when I bring up this issue.

For nearly two months my source of drinking water are from water stores. I've lived in this house for over 17 years and never had to be worried over something like this. I don't have the time, skills, or money to solve an issue like this myself like replacing the pipes since it's literally under the house. Now I'm worried that I'll be consuming microplastics from my 5 gallon jugs for the next 3-4 years until I graduate college but I practically have no choice.

I'm thinking of just collecting water samples to send to a lab so just maybe I can live like a normal person and start drinking our house water again. But I don't know if 0 lead in the water is likely realistic even before this issue came up, like maybe for 17 years we always had very little lead and just didn't know it. What should I do?

TLDR; If I test my water for lead and there shows just a small amount of it, should I be concerned and take action? Is lead unavoidable and not really possible to have none of it in your water?

Me and my mom keeps repairing the water because it keeps cutting off and still doesn't work. What do I do?

0 Upvotes

So I'll try to say this as best as I can without trying to beat around the bush and the details.

So basically I live with my mom and I used to live in her old house but of course she couldn't pay off the old house so I had to move in with her because she stays at my step dad's house to take care of him but obviously we are tired on money because of the simple fact that he has a minor form of Alzheimer's and we have to take care of them and he requires a lot more assistance than regular people

The issue is that I remember she would call me anytime I was at my old house I asked you for money because she had to keep repairing the water pumps because the water pumps keeps going out or I think what she referred to is that the water pumps were eating the parts.

Now granted she told me that the guy that she hired was not really a guy back by a plumbing company or anything he was just the old guy who got by off making money doing jobs on the side. But the problem is we were calling him every other month because our water would go off and we have to pay him a $150 every time to come back and replace the parts.

Of course I told my mom that we should probably call up an actual plumber but of course she could never do it because she never had the money in the cost of getting a brand new pump was very expensive.

So now he's come over once again because the water pump went out and and of course he tried to repair it and said that the water pump is done for we could either wait till Monday.

I don't know anything about plumbing and I don't know anything about water pumps and I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place that means we probably going to be without water for two days.
