MODERATORS
The datacenter is using enough water to lower the local water pressure. Defending them is honestly disgusting.
No one is defending them. Both are bad and you should stop eating meat if you are going to be using this as an excuse to be against data centers. Factory farms produce waste that give people cancer and destroy the environment. Optional animal agriculture causes 15% of all global emissions. You can stop today. Defending animal ag is honestly disgusting.
