Everyone's talking about this like it's impractical. This is just the beginning! Scientific advancements often start as completely impractical processes!

I'm positive that over time, this waste-to-cookie process will be refined and refined until it includes not only plastic waste, but human waste as well.

The potential is there! We just need to collect the billionaires and get started!

    Indirect water consumption via electricity generation made up more than 80 percent of the datacenter's overall water use

    So 80% of this is total bullshit. Do we really care that data centers are causing mild increases in how much water a power plant is taking in from their local cooling ponds‽ That were built specifically for this purpose, so that potable water doesn't get used.

    The real issue with data centers is how much power they use! Talking about their water consumption is a pointless distraction. It's a topic full of so much misinformation it just turns people away from the real problems once they realize it's bullshit. "If the water use reported in the media is bullshit, maybe the rest of it is too?"

    I'm not involved in this community, but I browse "All" so I see everyone's stuff. So as a total outsider, take my opinion with a grain of salt but...

    Brooke Strawberry Fields would be forever remembered 😁👍

    Second place is Brooke Magnetic Fields which sounds both scientific and a medalist.

    Third place would be Brooke Meadow Fields which sounds like a walking national monument 🗽

    ...and once you settle on a name, stick with it! Brooke No Argument!
