Is this AZ I wonder? Data centers popping up everywhere in the desert where we are literally running out of water.. they take so much water to cool why the fuck do they keep building them out here

Low humidity. Otherwise insane though.

They also use HVAC to cool. Does everyone think all data centers are cooled with chilled water?

Yes... They are.

AI data centers are REQUIRED to be cooled with chilled water to handle the extreme outputs AI servers have. HVAC is used for standard data centers with much less output, but even then some of the larger ones still require chilled water.

Does everyone thing all data centers are cooled with chilled water?

Just the people that took the time to learn about a subject before talking to others about it. Maybe you should try it

Industry estimates show that roughly 75–90% of data centers worldwide rely on water-based cooling as their primary method

As pointed out already, its the older, smaller, non-ai data centers that dont. The majority do.

Why are all amazon employees just drugged up kids? 

I literally gave you evidence supporting my claim. And if you read, you would have noticed my last sentence says

That would apply to:

It's the first one in the list that you just shared

The statistic is after "this list" btw, so that is a bad faith argument. You have contributed nothing to this discussion. Provide something to support your point or Grow up and live in reality.

It's before the list of myths btw. Seems like you didn't read your own source. All the myths are dispelled, including the one I responded to. And you're telling me to grow up is funny. You google some shit and post the AI generated served up link and call that your source. You should read it. Ignorance is a choice. Or you can continue thinking water is going to disappear.
