Hey friends, how you doing?

That's super.

Listen, shut up for a second so I can tell you how I'm doing, because I'm great.

I'm building all sorts of healthy habits.

I'm eating way more butter and sugar, sleeping more, like 17, 18 hours a day sometimes, and I'm drinking lots of water.

Lots and lots, lots of water.

I'm really thirsty all the time.

So much water, in fact, you may as well call me a data center, Zing, but seriously, I'm

really tired and thirsty all the time.

Hey, that reminds me of news, some of, as in, here's some news, data centers.

What like, are they?

Aren't you curious?

I am.

I'm always curious and tired.

And I want you to like and subscribe to this show and perhaps

check out our Patreon. We have a Patreon, which probably exists because of a data center.

Who knows? I don't. I guess that's the whole point of this episode actually. So thanks to

the tech industry's weird new delight for suicide chatbots and pedophile slop conjurers,

data centers have become a hot topic of debate. Nearly 3,000 new data centers are being planned or constructed right now while we struggle to breathe. That's so many. And like, hey, why? Do we need so many? And what's in those things?

Antifa? Is it like the movie Eddington where they got Antifa in there? What are they doing to the environment around them? Is it bad? I bet it's bad. A lot of people are saying it's bad. Are those people right? Or is it like nuclear power where everyone is a little more nervous about it than they should be? Why do I taste pennies all the time now? Did anyone see the movie Eddington? I liked it. There's a lot riding on data centers, possibly even, spoilers, the entire gosh darn economy.

So we should probably understand them a little bit more.

So brass tacks, hard questions first.
