why measure against bottled water? that can’t possibly be a big percentage of the water people drink.

Let that sink in
I wish that AI keeps using more water than human use bottle water. But for a reason that the latter goes down.
so that’s… seven percent?
shocking that nobody tries to ban this
Bottled water is easy to quantify
smh should have used football fields
While I agree it is an odd metric with a misleading phrasing, at this point all people using this shit should have their electronic devices locked away and online time rationed. Fucking selfish twats.
It’s actually pretty big because most of the global south drinks bottled water because tap water is too dangerous to drink
