    Is slough the only place that is used ironically in media, but sarcastically IRL?

    Maybe put the data center up north in a Nordic or Scandinavian country?

      We don’t want that here either.

      A 9° increase will fuck us and our surroundings over just as well as anywhere else.

        I was thinking we put one massive data center on Greenland to thaw out the ice sheet.

            You know, they love me in Greenland. I showed up, I said, “This place isn’t very green.” But then we installed the data center, melted all the ice. We sprayed some Brawdo. We wanted to give the plants 🌱 a head start, so we sprayed it. Our secretary of agriculture told me it would work and it has. We sprayed it. I’m thankful for our agriculture department and the Brawndo company. Since we sprayed it, the country of Greenland has never been greener. I think they’re very grateful and we hope to get a lot of Greenland votes in the next election.

        But the vault shifts with the ice 🧊? Soon all the seeds will float away… 🏝️

          Seed vaults are built into bedrock

            Then why do they shift with ice melt?
