deconstructing AI datancenters for starters.

Don't think thay would even make top 100 in the list of priorities

I'm pretty sure you're correct in terms of their relative priority, but I think we should do it anyway.

Did you turn your thermostat off and sit in the dark? Otherwise you're the real problem. Not us.

But Ms. Frizzle told me not to run the tap when I'm shaving 😡

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But how can we run ChatGPT with all of our electronics turned off?

You people have phones don't you? Just be sure to charge it with a home diesel generator. Can't have you plebes stressing the data centers power grid.

Is this a global heatwave now?

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That's why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years... It's just going to be hotter and drier...

Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that's drowning crops. They got an entire year's rainfall in 1 month.

The Shadow stirs. The Dark One's touch is on the world. The Pattern begins to unravel.

I'm in California. Normal el niños give us moderate flooding. I'm tempted to stock up on sand and sandbags this summer, before the rush

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably a good idea... The irony is the Colorado River is so low a lot of southern Cali and Nevada might run out of water.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funnily enough, Arizona has been taking this way more seriously than California. Probably because California has multiple water sources.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah California's entire existence isn't spitting in the face of God 40 million times every day

yeah, that pisses me off, too. I worship the god of blasphemy (among other things) and how can i beat the existence of Phoenix?

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The rain isn't over yet either, more rain forecasted but not as severe. Except now everything is saturated so it'll probably re-flood everything that is slowly receding.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It has encompassed most of Europe and North America… and a reasonably fitting descriptor to me

[–] Damage@feddit.it 15 points 2 days ago

And India started even earlier

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Well just the one half anyway.

Anyone selling fuel free boat tours to Antarctica?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know you're joking, but my uncle had a goal of visiting every continent. He hit Antarctica by signing onto a research vessel or something. A few hours of work a day, then whenever they stopped he got to go diving.

[–] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, but what sucked about it because surely there was a catch? 🧐

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

i'll be honest, he never said.

there was that time that everyone got out of the water and he didn't know why, until he was like 5 feet from a leopard seal. He sold that video to National Geographic and it was the clearest, closest video someone's gotten of a leopard seal until this one. pure accident on his part. i've been looking for his video on the youtubes but i can't find it.

It's not just the short term profits, it's the power. It's much harder to control places that don't rely on fossil fuels

[–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Global heatwave you say? 🤔Frost roof

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I love that winter in the southern hemisphere is a bit of frost

[–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 1 points 10 hours ago

If I was a little further south there would be snow instead!

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also is that bush or tree back there an evergreen?

[–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 1 points 10 hours ago

Yes, we have lots of natives here that keep their leaves all year round 😁

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow. It got so hot on your tin roof that the cat atomized

Some cool cats right there! I thought, if you're us-american, you might not be familiar with ceramic roof tiles

i'm not sure if people use wooden shingles anymore out here unless you're building a shed (and we just did tar paper on ours). nearly everyone in my town has ceramic roofs. rooves. whatever.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 4 points 2 days ago

Buy an AC unit, even a small one that cools one room is life.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Do not eat ice cream. Reject sugar.
