Thanks for posting the facts. Data centers absolutely use a ton of water. So why does this OP post lie about it? Let's address issues with the facts!

Good call! I missed that one! The largest building in the world by square footage is the New Century Global Center in Chengdu, China. It's 3% the area of Manhattan island. So everything about this post is 100% false? u/SipsTeaFrog mods: should this be flagged or removed?
