We are so fucked. Corporations pouring money into AI data centres just to keep the house of cards going, while on a policy level North America is actively encouraging it and the average person still isn't convinced it's even something to worry about.

    Let’s build some floating datacenters that use ocean water for cooling.

    F Is easy. 32F is freezing, 0 is the freezing point of a saturated solution of calcium chloride and sodium chloride brine, and 100F was meant to be average human body temperature but Fahrenheit was retarded and he used a horse instead, so now F is perfect for horses.

    Down voted because person can't do math. Expects an American publication to cater to Euro-centtric designation.

    The article lists Celcius first in the body of the text, with a Fahrenheit translation in parenthesis. The title then uses only Fahrenheit.

    I assume the comment was meant to indicate, pick a unit of measure and stick to it. As opposed to Fahrenheit at the top, and Celcius in the body. Not to antagonize the use of Fahrenheit in general.

    Also, stating that the use of Celcius is Euro-centric is a little awkward:

    checks Wikipedia

    TIL that the Fahrenheit scale was invented in either The Netherlands or England by an ethnic German born in Poland rather than in England by an English person born Englishly in England as I had always thought in spite of the German-sounding name 😆

    America lost the right to tell other people about units of measurement when it elected someone who's concience can't be measured by any of them.

    Don't worry, soon people will all switch (buy buy buy!) to electric cars and the problem will be fixed forever. Unless it's not economically advantageous to do so. In that case we will keep burning fossil fuel since its cheaper than EVs that would be marginally better. Anyway I'm sure we, or AI, will find solutions soon.

    Don't point out my giant SUV, I recycle and have reusable bags! It's not my fault.
