Better put in a data center to fix the problem…

I'm still trying to figure out what problem data centers came to solve in the first place.

Ok so you remember when we were misdiagnosing ourselves with webMD?
Now AI does that for us which saves us a few clicks

Yup.

We will have a bumper crop of Soybeans this year.
WhereDidAllTheSnowGo@reddit
Is that in part due to less fertilizer for corn?

Sure, but everyone else might be shifting towards your safe foods, driving up prices and shortening supplies.

I’m sure the fertilizer shortage will help this out too.
What’s the term when numerous calamities occur at once? Polycrisis or something?

We face a perfect storm.
Reset of the long-term debt cycle and it's effects.
AI, drones, robots and automation and it's effects.
Climate change and it's effects.
Oligarchs and Corporate America and their ownership of social and mainstream media, widespread corruption, Project 2025, Dark Enlightenment, surveillance state, two class justice, broken financial markets, antivaxx and anti-science, and so much more.
All this could be fixed by a beautiful deleveraging, fair taxation and focus on ethics and true leadership.
That's not what the oligarchs want, though. And why they buy islands and build bunkers.
SoftballLesbian@reddit
The islands and bunkers are so stupid. All they're doing is building gilded cages for themselves.

It's irrational because they are the ones benefitting the most from the current system. If they would use all that talent and resources to make the world a better place, they could be true heroes.
After all, most of us only want to live an average life with friends and family.
We see advance in anti-aging and human augmentation. The endgoal might be more dystopian and evil than we currently can imagine.

They don't want to be heroes, they want to be worshipped.
Biotic101@reddit
Well, the irony is they probably would.
But they instead risk it all for absolute power and even more wealth.
Being surrounded by yes-men and bootlickers probably fries your brain.

What exactly do you think we use all of those soybeans for?
NitramTrebla@reddit
I'm sure rising beer and bread prices won't cause any problems.
Dissasociaties@reddit
Thank God beer is made of barley (obvious exception wheat beer). Barley production is probably fuct too though.

Shit guys...this IS bad

There could be a major el nino event this year. So far in the northern plains where I live, it's super dry and windy. Lots of fires. Better get rain.

Are data centres edible

As long as you take small bytes.
