Please don’t plant bamboo in non-native areas. It’s much better to find a protected native species and plant those instead :)
We found their kryptonite!

Clearly putting a small dent in shareholder value is a bigger priority than conserving obsolete and inefficient ecosystems that only survive due to protectionism and tree hugging eco-fundies.

Clearly the only way to protect the ecosystem is to destroy it ourselves?

Maybe black raspberry? Native to much of North America, edible for humans and wildlife, covered in thorns and spreads like a motherfucker.

Also seedy, but delicious.

Bamboo is invasive in north America. Don’t

So are the data centers
altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Datacenter owners can find resources and expertise with their imaginary money.
General public, even under sane administration - probably don’t.

Two wrongs do not make a right.
Also let’s be honest memes like these are simply Internet Warriors pretending to do shit but we all know they are doing nothing outside of online activity of posting memes and bitching on social media.
0tan0d@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah but the bamboo is going to damage more than just the data center.

it also strangles basically any native plant it spreads close to, lowering local biodiversity and lowering soil quality. and it grows extremely quickly. not a good thing to plant more of, no matter how pure your motives.

Please don’t plant invasive plants in vulnerable ecosystems
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So they’re building data centers in vulnerable ecosystems and destroying their water sources?
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Warning, don’t plant bamboo underneath the restrained torsos of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, O’Leary, etc. as they grow so quickly with hard rigid points that they can break through a human torso in 3 days.
Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wow. In the novel Soft Apocalypse by Will McIntosh, eco terrorists develop a strain of bamboo that will grow through anything. They plant it to tear up buildings, roads, and the occasional human. Now we just need someone to create the Dr Happy pill.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Supposably that was a form of execution in ancient china. They would stake the victim over a bamboo sprout which would eventually grow through their chest.
EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I was just about to say Soft Apocalypse. Excellent book. Kinda has a happy ending? Not a reread though.
Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve reread, but there is a violent animal death I have to skip.

You underestimate their willingness to just blanket the surrounding area in herbicide. They don’t actually need their water to be potable.

Bamboo is beginner shit, if you really want to cause trouble, try japanese knotweed. They will never be able to get rid of that!

Ik it’s a PITA!!! My yard has it. It’s been observed growing in and surrounding volcanos. FUCKING VOLCANOS!!! GAME FUCKING OVER!!!
EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yup. It also quickly regenerates from the tiniest root fragment, so not even plowing and shredding the ground destroys it.
My condolences about your yard.

Horseradish spreads quickly underground, and it’s ugly. A friend of mine destroyed his backyard with a small patch of horseradish. Within a few years, his backyard was unusable.

bamboo and tree of heaven at every DC building’s foundation’s edge. poison hemlock also, as an incentive for any class traitor who’s decided to work there
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Tree of Heaven is pretty weak sauce. I had a large one fall over in a storm and land on my skoolie (school bus converted to a motorhome). The bus was completely unhurt, not even a scratch.
DupaCycki@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The government would hate it if you happened to lose a sizeable device capable of spontaneously combusting near a data center.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I’ve got my bamboo seeds on order. Best case scenario…wild vicious pandas show up and tear everything down in their search for more bamboo. /s

Only in the south. And only if you use the American species of bamboo.

Find the tallest hemp plants, preferable tree size, and throw their seeds around the data centers.

Get a fucking gas powered pressure washer full of liquid culture of this shit ( ecurrent.com/…/meet-the-mushroom-stronger-than-si… ) and spray the building from the back of a pick up truck while wearing a hazmat suit, cheaper than you’d think clean room with a skin tight Russian surplus gas mask retrofitted with a modern Honeywell filter using a gas mask adapter.
Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Anything invasive that invade via rhisomes like Elephant Grass. If you want to really fuck with them you could do sugar cane. You could do blackberries, raspberries, blueberries.
mig@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Native black rasberries, in north america. Fuck their shit up with native plants please.

I’d actually be curious as to the share of resources each of these aspects of modern internet architecture use.
I’m just just Google sans AI sucks up some serious water and electricity, I just have no idea how it compares.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What you REALLY REALLY REALLY SHOULDN’T DO is to introduce Pharaoh ants into or near data centers.
Because…
Image
link.springer.com/article/…/s10340-018-1024-7
The also reproduce through clonal budding. The build very small colonies (a few hundred-thousands of ants) and when stressed due to pesticide, they’ll move their larvae and raise one of them into a new queen to form a new colony. This means Pharaoh ants are practically impossible to eradicate once they get established. They’re also VERY QUICK to move into climate controlled environments. And YES they DO cause severe damage to electrical equipment, and for some GODFORSAKEN SATANIC REASON, they FUCKING LOVE ELECTRICITY and ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!
Source, I had to get almost 10k in electrical work done because after hiring a shitty pest control company, their treatments weren’t focused on the biology of pharaoh ants (they didn’t even bother to ID them), and by stressing the population, the EXPLODED the population. The ants then decided that my electric panel and several outlets had become their SWORN enemy, to the point it became a real fire hazard as a seemingly endless series of ants came to die by burning up between some junctions.
Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Where can i purchase these ants?
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well they have basically a global distribution: urbanentomology.tamu.edu/urban-pests/…/pharoah/
