The chances of this actually being connected is probably near zero (since rising dizziness is global, but datacenters are mostly in few countries), but still felt funny enough to post.
Randomly stumbled upon this while researching why are so many people around lately feeling dizzy.
I didn't even know dizziness was on the rise! What did you find?
It's actually
Causation causes correlation
Infrasound. Proven negative impact on people's health and general wellbeing, waves travel quite far and have high penetration, and data centers are absolutely the source of it with all the fans and pumps.
Not saying that there 1:1 causation here, but having a data center around will absolutely make you miserable, and dizzy too.
How far does that actually travel, and how does that compare to other bad stuff that has been around longer, like refineries or power substations or whatever?
data centres have been around for decades as well, I believe it's the new hyper scaler data centres that possibly have this infrasound thingo
But that's nothing related to a google trend graph of dizziness and data centres, that's as the OP says, random
These are great:
When datacenters are being powered by unregulated natural gas generators then it has a massive impact
