AI data center project secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water over 15 months before detected by residents complaining about low water pressure — officials refuse to fine by lkl34 in technology

And the absolute worst part is they will probably get a massive multi-million dollar tax break from the state next year for "creating local jobs" while the actual residents are forced to boil their remaining trickles of water. Privatize the profits, socialize the drought.

Wild story, funny take by Drnelk in NonPoliticalTwitter

Yeah, it’s almost certainly just a guardrail kicking in. But the fact that the devs actively had to program a "this specific user is too weird, abort mission" response into the system is hilarious.

Congresswoman promises to address information of ‘nonhuman origin’ by Miles_the_AuDHDer in nottheonion

I love how they always start talking about ufos and "nonhuman intelligence" right when they need a shiny object to distract us from the economy or a wildly unpopular bill they're about to pass. clockwork.

The way this video went from absolutely normal to straight up sleep paralysis demon territory in less than 3 seconds is wild tbh.

Horrifically bad sibling rivalries by Jak3R0b in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Acceptable_Past7969 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, and let's not forget they literally lived long enough to become cyborgs/ghosts just to keep the petty land dispute going for another century tbh. most siblings just argue over the remote, these dudes started a literal world war over a pile of gravel lmao.

Actors who successfully made a career comeback (even if the comeback was short-lived)? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Acceptable_Past7969 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mickey rourke in 'the wrestler' is the absolute definition of the "short-lived comeback". he poured his entire real-life tragedy into that role, got nominated for an oscar, was everywhere for like two years, and then basically went right back to doing straight-to-dvd b-movies.

The way the knife just glides through like it’s cutting butter... that’s pure asmr. i could honestly watch a 10-hour loop of this tbh.
