This is how civilization in America crumbles. Enjoy eating eachother in the coming years.
Only stock I’m investing in right now is A1 sauce.
If there’s any reason to protest AI, this is it. Another reason I’m against GitHub and their injecting AI into everything. Microsoft is shoving it everywhere to gain adoption. Pretty much every company is doing the same.
Even at my wife’s job, their new VP says they are required to use it, “to improve output” or else. How shitty of a world we live in!
if there’s any reason to protest AI, it’s because it routinely outputs false results, which can wreak havoc if used in practice
That’s the same reason I protest humans.
Humans generally make mistakes in predictable patterns and can learn from them to improve their output.
Similar story with Tesla’s Berlin factory. Musk even said look look everywhere is water hurr durr. Politicians folded like teen girl fans meeting their kpop idol. Fast forward factory operates and household’s waterconsumption in the far area is rationed. Turns out you cant take just all the water you see without damaging the ecology.
why don’t they just build a pipeline from the nearest bigger river
Ask the Colorado river how that works out. So much is piped out that the river no longer makes it to the ocean. It just peters out into a dry river bed dozens of miles from the shore nowadays.
maybe conservatives starving to death might be what actually brings movement. Couldn’t ask for a better set of people to die.
It’ll be all Americans fool.
I know. All the more reason.
oh, great, more advocacy for violence and bloodshed. just what we needed to bring up arms manufacturers stock price and get the economy going again. thank you for providing jobs.
Oh, great, more advocacy for pacifism and capitulation. Just what we need to bring up future prospects and get people’s hopes up again. Thank you for providing morale.
Maybe this is the real reason water is so rare in Tank Girl.
Since it’s useful to see large numbers normalized, this is a little less than how much water all US households used in ten days in 2025 (28 billion/day per comment below) and a little under three days of the total water used for US crop irrigation (100 billion per day).
Edit: updated household numbers per comment below
Each American uses an average of 82 gallons of water a day at home (USGS, Estimated Use of Water in the United States in 2015).
estimated population was 341,784,857 on July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
That’s 28 billion gallons per day from US households. Your 300 billion number would mean each person in the US is somehow using almost 1,000 gallons of water per day.
Thanks! Updated the numbers for the direct household use.
Also, technically when you account for indirect water use, individuals use closer to around 4,500 gallons per day (Chini, et al. Direct and indirect urban water footprints of the United States (2016)).
thank you for putting things into proportion
The numbers in their comment are all wrong.
Must’ve been an LLM generated factoid.
