Ok dude, you’ve strayed way off topic. I’m not arguing against you at all. The chart in the post is comparing the water used in the entire US cattle industry against AI water usage. My point is that the total amount of water used to grow vegetables for human consumption in the US would dwarf that beef bar, and this chart is dumb.
Jesus, the point is that the chart is dumb. Comparing water used in beef production to water used in data centers is dumb. You could make the same chart with water to grow corn or soybeans or chickens and it will still be dumb

depending on how you define “vegetable” this could be argued i think.
Plants for human consumption.
so does that mean we should be comparing it to water usage for all animal agriculture instead of just one specific “crop” of livestock?
