Absolutely not!! …pick something native 😌
And something endangered and illegal to remove
I very much love the native everywhere plastic explosive
Dont be planting invasives all over the place.
Cant be any faster than how fast local city governments planted invasives everywhere
The only way to stop a finance-bubble-funded-invasive is with a good-guy with an invasive.
This sign is generated. Check the bottom of the M in “bamboo”, the leaves on the diagram, and the weird spot left of the last line.
Well yea, lol, this is the original. “You like it? It’s very generous.”
Are you joking? The original sign was metallic, hence the reflection behind “service” in the first line and the M you mentioned. I don’t see anything wrong with the leaves and the “weird spot” is a leave symbol
I can’t find the link on mobile, but this has been analyzed to death already on Lemmy. It’s generated.
I live in Japan and bamboo is a giant pain in my ass. It will spread out-of-control and isn’t going to be a big deal to the datacenter folks anyway.
Isn’t that beautiful?
That is very heavily maintained. Along one side of my property, they’re only a few cm apart with a different variety of small, thin bamboo filling every crack it can find. It encroaches into the rest of my property and requires weekly maintenance in the warm months to keep back. If I did nothing, my whole property would just be an impassible jungle within a couple of years.
That is ai… Boom! Gotcha! Not a real photo! They do grow fast though.
He probably didn’t even zoom in on it and immediately called BS assuming it was heavily maintained due to the spacing, I don’t think you can call that a “gotcha”
What was I supposed to do? Say look at it closely? That was my whole point, people just assume photos are real. It is very concerning, in the near future, we won’t be able tell if any photo or video is real at all. It will be indistinguishable.
I’m beginning to get curious as to the reason they kicked you out of the old place.
What? I was demonstrating how harmful ai is. You can’t even tell that is a fake photo.
yeah. good job butthorn
Woah, I haven’t heard the word butthorn since the late 90’s, lol. Well done Alan.
While there is a native bamboo to North America, even that won’t have the impact of a drone with explosives or a couple thirty aughts into the data power distribution for the data center. Even that’s pretty temporary compared with doing the same to the Epstein class.
Napalm
even that won’t have the impact of a drone with explosives
really too much work and won’t have much of an impact, we need to somehow let meth-heads with stolen f-150s and a battery operated sawzall know that there;s more copper and precious metal in there than a 1000 catalytic converters.

How about a GMO Bamboo with a short life span. It lives just long enough to bust thorough data/ power cables and water lines.
Life…finds a way
Certain types of flowering bamboo are unusual in that the plants only flower at intervals of several years, and after flowering, the plant dies. Typically, all specimens of a species flower and then die the same year, then new plants grow from their seeds.

I don’t think I we understand the triggers but that would be the key to the short life span.
Wasn’t that AI generated photo that got passed around like a week ago? How would that do anything to the building
If left to grow unchecked bamboo roots can eventually damage foundations. It’s a highly invasive plant that is difficult to eradicate, and its root systems are extremely strong. When we bought our current house there was a patch of bamboo that the previous owners have planted. Luckily not near the house though. I’m on my third year ripping out stalks of it that continue to appear. If you google something like “ bamboo foundation damage” you can find photos, articles, etc.
The thing is, it mostly takes advantage of cracks in concrete foundations, gaps in stone foundations, etc. The chances of it damaging a modern datacenter foundation is probably very low. And it would likely take decades to cause any significant damage. Assuming the datacenter didn’t just bring in a backhoe and dig it all up by long before it became a serious problem.
Or more likely the datacenter would start systematically applying herbicides.
Herbicides alone aren’t enough to deal with a well established cluster of bamboo. The waxy leaves prevent the plant from absorbing them. To properly kill it you need to cut the bamboo close to the ground then pour herbicide on the cut stems as quickly as possible. Waiting even a few minutes can be too long since healthy bamboo will quickly seal cuts. And with healthy bamboo the root systems are so extensive that this will just cause the roots to send up new stalks in other places. So you need to repeat the process of cutting and applying herbicide multiple times until you no longer see new stalks appearing anywhere.
The stuff is awful, I’ve dug it up before, you really need a machine to drill the roots out doing it by hand is just not efficient enough.
We were lucky enough to have a contractor working here when we first tackled the bamboo patch. He scraped off the first 6” or so of soil with his skid steer. What he dug up was basically a 6 foot square mass of roots…
I just pulled three more stalks half an hour ago…
So, shit like this isn’t really helpful without specific addresses to avoid planting bamboo at. Also gps coordinates for sugar and honey disposal areas to avoid… like, let’s make some USEFUL PSA’s please
I watched a show talking about data centers that are being build in old missile silos with their own cooling systems, power generation, etc. built way underground and it made me very sad. Is that what you really want to protect inside an old missile silo? Gross.
The biggest weakness to data centers are the chillers.
Next up are the transformers.
The water supply too though no? If the water main failed, I imagine they would be able to shut down their systems without damage but not use them much, they typically carry their own pond of water for emergencies as such I believe.
All the datacenters I have been in have sufficiently sized cisterns that they can hold out for water to be trucked to them.
Not a weaknesses when overheat protection exists
That’s only good enough to give the machines time to come to a safe halted state. For however long it takes to repair the chillers, that facility is a credit on the accounting ledger.
do you mean debit?
Accounting language is different.
A debit is incoming while credit is an increase of liability.
Think of the big picture of a credit card. The card backer (bank/credit union) is paying the vendor cash equivalent while crediting you with debt.
yeah you sounded like you knew what you were talking about that confusion is mine and mine alone thank you for taking the time to respond and educate me
Solid Solarpunk Shit.
And No, it doesn’t matter if it is invasive, after all, is a data center native? Nuke both in the future.
Yes let’s destroy the enviornment to save it! /s
You want to fight a data center nearby that annoys you with its loud generators and invite a grass that will destroy your home within a few years. Well, good luck.
