What song is stuck in your head right now?

I have…no idea what I did to deserve this one. -
Definitely a closet furry

The_annoying_one started following mrs peacock,

Okay, I just got here, and…the fuck is going on in this here thread? I’m confused and intrigued.
-
da'fuq? who is mrs white? wait....wait...THAT mrs white?
-
lol, it's fine. I deserved it. Mrs. White is a cunt. That's honestly all I have to add to this thread.
-
i'm just kidding. get back in here and play this stupid shit.

.......🤷🏿♂️ I'm lost too. With a shecock? I mean, that's all i got and it doesnt really make sense to me, so I'm gonna wait for he big reveal.

everyone say THANKS INSIPID!

nooo so obvious. you suck. i bet you get the part in the pron, where the pizza guy rings the bell... and BOOM. you're done. damn. this could have been THE thread.

dildo or rather the candlestick she used as a dildo

AI is considered highly resource-intensive and potentially wasteful, with its environmental footprint expanding rapidly due to energy consumption, water usage for cooling, and the generation of electronic waste (e-waste). While AI can aid in sustainability, its current development phase involves massive data centers that consumed roughly 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023, a number projected to surge in the coming years. Here is a breakdown of how wasteful AI is across different categories: 1. Energy Consumption and Carbon Footprint Training vs. Usage: Training a single large AI model can consume over 1,200 MWh of electricity, equivalent to powering 120 U.S. homes for a year. Inference (Daily Use): Over 80% of AI's electricity consumption comes from the inference phase—using the model to generate responses. Comparison to Search: A single ChatGPT request requires roughly ten times more electricity than a standard Google search. Advanced Models: "Reasoning" models, which "think" before they speak, can consume up to 50–100 times more energy than standard AI queries. 2. Massive Water Usage Data centers require significant amounts of water for cooling to prevent servers from overheating. Daily Impact: Generating a 100-word email with ChatGPT-4 can consume 519 milliliters of water—roughly a full bottle. Total Volume: By 2027, global AI demand is expected to consume 4.2 to 6.6 billion cubic meters of water, exceeding the total annual water withdrawal of countries like Denmark. 3. Electronic Waste (E-Waste) and Mining The rapid advancement of AI hardware leads to short lifespans for equipment. Hardware Turnover: GPUs and other high-performance computing components are replaced every 2–5 years, contributing to the 62 million tonnes of e-waste produced globally in 2022. Raw Materials: Manufacturing AI hardware requires mining rare earth elements, which contributes to habitat destruction and soil degradation. 4. Hidden Costs and Inefficiencies Underreported Data: Many AI companies do not disclose the exact energy or water consumption of their models, making it difficult to fully calculate the environmental impact. "Red AI" vs. "Green AI": The current, dominant trend is "Red AI," which focuses on larger, more accurate models at the expense of environmental efficiency. Conversely, "Green AI" aims for more efficient, sustainable methods. Superfluous Usage: Creating five seconds of AI video can consume as much electricity as running a microwave for over an hour.

Those would benefit from 6 face buttons, right? If so, my favorite right now is the Retroid Pocket Classic, which has two different colors that come with six face buttons rather than four. Only other one I can think of is Anbernic's RG ARC

What Are You Thinking About Right Now?

the destruction of the human body and it's acceleration through aging. i blew a vein in my palm. lol just leaning. or plunging. or making macramaing. take your pick. but i love the indigo hue.
