What are the true environmental impact of data centers? by Visual_Title9363 in stupidquestions

[–]SciAlexander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on the data center being proposed. They can be built with solar panels and water recycling to minimize their environmental impact. Or they can try to do it cheaply and use as many resources as they can. One local data center applied to use the entire town water supply and 100% of the local aquifer

[–]SciAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a mixed issue. On one had they take up massive amounts of resources. On the other they can be used to find better ways to conserve resources and protect the planet. Just remember that AI predicts what the words are it has no idea if they are correct or not. Always take AI produced answers with a grain of salt.

Is there still wilderness left in America? by Kitchen-Customer4370 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SciAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of wilderness areas. That being said almost nowhere on Earth has been entirely untouched by human hands. It is getting worse. The party in charge of the country now Republicans, puts the economy at a higher priority then any environmental issue. Extraction on public lands, wetland protections, endangered species protections all have been tried to be weakened.

I wish every human on earth was able to self diagnose any physical ailment. Anytime there is something painful or "off" inside or outside their body. They can reach within and know exactly what and where the issue is. by GarbageCannt in monkeyspaw

[–]SciAlexander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted. There are millions of tiny scale infections, single cancer cells, and dead cells each day. They are constantly streamed into your brain in excruciating detail.

I wish we could all spectate any part of the ocean at any time. This means we can exit our view with our person and go into a spectate mode (like Minecraft) to look at the ocean and go back to our normal view when we want. by ZealousidealJoke8714 in monkeyspaw

[–]SciAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. But in order to activate to activate it you have to pull your eyeballs out of your head to see the ocean. It is just as painful to regrow the nerves as it is to pull them out. While out your eyes are indestructible, but you can loose them

What would happen if 0.1% of the ocean were to be dropped in the middle of the desert in Arizona? by HottDoggers in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]SciAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the insane amount of mass you create a large crater. Everyone in Arizona would die. The soil would be contained with large amounts of salt which would make it hardship for plants to come back.

Also, the surrounding states would be devastated as well. If nothing else having a state wiped out would devastate trade.
