the water use of datacenters I find to be a weird angle to take. does anything bad happen to water when you run it through a computer? surely you can just let it cool down and then reuse it?

Yeah, especially if you have some sort of closed loop system. But stuff like those submerged servers? Ecosystem near them is going to be changed

hmm that does sound bad tbh. I presume that’s a very small minority though
