I can respect that. minimizing pollution is a noble pursuit. its when people specifically target data centers because of "ai" and start citing all of these insane reasons out of proportion to what computers actually do. most factories are way worse. people need to come correct and be honest about the effects. you can't just say we need to ban them all because they "use water". your punching from a lower weight class at that point. thats the difference.

bc1qfk03xf3zekand03r6xut652mq049duj7yhw3rt Date: November 5th, 2026 10:21 PM Author: The Penis The 25K gallons/day figure is already an estimate of water consumption, not the total water circulating through the cooling system. In evaporative systems much of that is lost through evaporation, while the rest of the cooling water continuously recirculates.
25k gallons sounds enormous without context, but it's a relatively modest volume for industrial infrastructure. Whether it creates an actual environmental problem depends on the local water supply. |

Date: November 5th, 2026 9:50 PM Author: ferengi what do you mean that's the only other thing? first of all, the noise pollution is a valid complaint affecting lots of people in communities with data centers: there's the perceptible sound, which is just annoying at worst, and then the infrasound poisoning, which is making people ill.
but as you acknowledged in the other thread, a lot of anti-data-center sentiment is driven by resentment toward AI and tech in general. people are mad bc of all the jobs AI is eliminating. they're mad bc over-reliance on AI is making people stupider - not people like us who use AI like a PROSTHETIC COCK SLEEVE enhancing our intellectual curiosity, but the typical AI user who uses it to offload cognitive tasks. they're mad bc so much of AI is the Palantir surveillance ecosystem that makes people feel unsafe. they're mad because AI child porn is legal. they're mad because social media has so clearly broken kids' brains.
you're too smart to pretend the BS water thing and the noise thing are the only reasons people hate data centers. |

bc1qfk03xf3zekand03r6xut652mq049duj7yhw3rt Date: November 5th, 2026 9:57 PM Author: The Penis Regarding NOISE pollution, I agree on low frequency noise emissions and that it can annoy people, but the idea that Infrasound from data centers is poisoning nearby residents and making them physically ill is bullshit and not supported by evidence.
Agree that AI resentment is part of the reason for data center opposition, but to me that is an argument against people who are anti-datacenter. it is saying the motivations are not against the infrastructure itself but against their anxieties about the software that runs on it.
One thing I'll admit that I am leaving out that actually has strength wrt anti data center is electrical grid occupation and land use.

Date: November 5th, 2026 10:03 PM Author: ferengi oh it's supported by evidence. this guy measured the infrasound and talked to a lot of people in various towns who were experiencing illness from it: https://youtu.be/_bP80DEAbuo
and this channel is frequently covering communities affected by data centers and data center accidents, as well as other industrial accidents, although i don't have a specific video where they covered this issue: https://youtube.com/@statuscoup

The claim that data center infrasound is poisoning people needs to be proven in the first place. Recording infrasound and interviewing people who report illnesses doesn't establish a causal relationship between the two. Also even if the person who made this vid got some things wrong, not like it would establish the original claim. Which specific methodological criticism do you think is logically invalid, and what evidence establishes that the measured infrasound caused the reported illnesses?
