what are data centres used for

of the things that we just can't do without? Clean water. Electricity. Hospitals. How about... Data centres? posted the video on TikTok. Do you think social media runs on fucking dreams, bro? No, it runs on data centres. Is that a problem? We'll take one hyper-scale data centre. It uses 1.5 million litres of water per day. 1.5 million litres a day, that's too much. Let's see how much TikTok uses, just to have interest, considering you posted the video there. A singular minute uses 0.27 liters. The average user spends about 1 hour and 37 minutes per day on TikTok. So the average uses about 26.19 liters a day. And there's 2 billion users. So while you're complaining about using 1.5 million liters for a data centre and we shouldn't use them, you're posting on a platform that uses 52 billion liters a day. He was only talking about hyperscale centres. Guess how many there are in the UK? 48. 48. In the whole country, there's 48 of them. That's like 72 million litres of water you're worried about when the platform you're posting on uses fucking 52 billion liters a day. The actual point of this video is just me saying that he does not give a fuck about the water usage, he's actively contributing and using a company that uses astronomically more water than the AI industry in the UK. He doesn't give a fuck. By the way, I just want to say as well, this is not a political stance. It's the exact same thing if Nigel Farage or Rupert Lowe or Andy Burnham made the same video, it's not at all a political stance. It's just politicians that ain't got a fucking clue and they're just trying to appeal to the masses because people are making those arguments online.
