    Grow so big that a local town council has meetings where they argue about your size, and how much pollution you cause.

    Or is that yo mamma?

    My city council was fine with the data center. Then the citizens brought a guillotine to the proceedings, and they had second thoughts.

      At least something made them reconsider. Land zoned for housing development near where I live just got abandoned after multiple years owned by some shitheads who were suing the local government for not allowing them to turn it into a ground shipping hub in the middle of miles of residential land (broken up with the occasional school and strip mall type businesses), only for the land to be picked up by a group trying to build a data center claiming it would bring significant jobs to the area.

      I’ve been to a few data centers for work. Job hubs they ain’t.

      Well I can educate about as well as AI. Regurgitating info I found on a vaguely related Reddit thread as well as include incorrect info on something completely unrelated.

    I’ll make sure to leave plenty of illegal pollution in my surroundings, and to emanate sub-audible frequencies harmful to human health for a multiple mile radius.

    Precariously balancing a terrible mobius strip of circular financing that itself props up the majority of the US stock market might be a little tough though. Anyone have any tips?

      Sub Audible makes it sound like the people who claim wind turbines are giving them migraines.

      Many datacenters are just audible. 50 tractor trailer sized gas generators are plenty audible from a good distance.

        Yeah, far_university got it. Infrasound is what I was referring to specifically, and your comment has me wondering now if there’s been any attempts to measure for it around wind turbines too.

        The known negative health effects from the noise pollution around data centers are bad enough, but there’s evidence of further effects than that due to the infrasound as well, which isn’t immediately obvious as it’s not within human hearing range

    Do not consume as much water as possible.

    You will puke, and if you don’t puke, you will die.
