My guess is the blue screen picture is fake, but it’s still pretty funny.

Only a matter of time before somebody hacks this and starts playing porn for the whole city.

I feel like the popilation of vegas would respond to that much more positively than the italian senate.

It's fine. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I'm picturing a meatspin around the vertical axis.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky? Weird as shit.

[-] ritswd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hadn’t even noticed that. Yeah, weird idea…

Yeah, it’s amazing how much of a pass Vegas gets about the complete lack of sustainability. Like, for instance, I don’t know, having tons of thirsty tourists and gigantic pools in the middle of a freaking desert! Kinda nuts…

Thanks for that, I definitely learned some. I’m not surprised that it takes some smart thinking to get this to even be remotely possible, and it’s interesting to read what smart thinking goes into it. I was at Lake Mead recently, and it was impressive to be explained how much it had receded over the past few years, and how much of a strain on it Vegas keeps putting despite the mitigation. I wonder how long before it just runs out, if it does; and what happens next.

Yeah it's painful seeing how low it is. I lived there back in '99 which meant I also got to drive/ride over the damn itself. Good times.

I think water-wise are LA and especially Phoenix much worse than Vegas.

The US has terrible land management in general. You build these huge sprawling cities made of low density suburbs, both wasting productive farmland in the east and isolated in the middle of the desert in the west. It's all completely nuts.

Damn, that's going to be worth a lot of shower piss, that's for sure!
