CHILLIWACK, BC
Area woman Doris Reimer, 74, has planted a lovely array of daisies and dillweed this year, but has struggled to keep the weeds and AI data centres out of her garden.
“I’m out there every day on my hands and knees,” said Reimer, “but every morning it seems like another AI data centre has sprung up and choked all the water from my petunias.”
Reimer has tried to remove the data centres organically with the sweat of her brow, but has recently had to enlist her grandchildren to help out.
“I give them a shiny new dime for every data centre they pull,” said Reimer. “It’s tough to keep up, but by the end of the afternoon little Susie had a whole ice cream pail full of AI data centres ready to be composted.”
Reimer says gardening these days is getting to be a lot more work than it used to be.
“Back in my day, we just had to worry about pulling a few dandelions,” said Reimer, “but now we’ve got these annoying data centres popping up everywhere and sucking up all the water. It’s getting out of hand.”
The BC Gardening Society has classified AI data centres as an invasive species and recommends lighting them on fire or pouring a mixture of vinegar and dish soap on any AI data centre you find.
