This is a two-panel meme using the popular stylized Drake Hotline Bling reaction template. The top panel displays Drake making a rejecting, dismissive gesture with a negative expression, accompanied by the text 'Refusing to use AI so that the companies will go bankrupt'. The bottom panel shows Drake with a pleased, approving expression, pointing in endorsement, paired with the text 'Using so much AI that the companies go bankrupt'. The humorous joke relies on the widely known fact that running AI services requires extremely expensive data center infrastructure and operational costs, implying that over-consuming AI will force companies to incur unsustainably high costs and collapse, which is a far more effective way to achieve the goal of making AI companies go bankrupt than boycotting AI entirely.

Those data centers are not cheap

This meme uses the popular 'Pepperidge Farms Remembers' format from the animated sitcom Family Guy. It shows the elderly Pepperidge Farms delivery character holding a loaf of bread in a sunny rural landscape, with text at the top highlighting a perceived double standard in US power grid discourse: that critics previously claimed electric vehicles would overwhelm the national grid, while far more energy-intensive data centers are now widely accepted as essential infrastructure without similar pushback. The iconic 'PEPPERIDGE FARMS REMEMBERS' catchphrase at the bottom reinforces the joke calling attention to this forgotten contradiction, aligning with the original submission's theme of eroding US infrastructure priorities.

This is a screenshot of a post from X (Twitter) user Gamingtronium, which contains a rhetorical question: "If water is the biggest problem for data centers So why aren't we building them where water is abundant and free?". The question is paired with an AI-generated image of a large, modern two-story floating data center facility branded with the Nvidia logo, situated entirely in the open ocean. The facility's roof is covered with solar panels, a dock with small boats is attached to its side, and wind turbines are visible on the distant shoreline. The humor of the post derives from the fact that the question poses a seemingly simple solution to data center water needs, but ignores critical practical barriers including saltwater corrosion, storm damage, extreme maintenance difficulties, internet connectivity challenges, power infrastructure requirements, and far higher operational costs of ocean-based facilities, perfectly illustrating the concept of having unvetted ideas without the supporting knowledge to understand why those ideas are not feasible.

This meme combines a classic Soviet realist painting of Vladimir Lenin delivering a passionate speech to an enthusiastic crowd of revolutionaries with text placed above the artwork. The overlay text reads 'me telling the local junkies about all the precious metals that can be found in a data center', framing the poster as enthusiastically sharing information about valuable recoverable metals inside data center hardware to people struggling with drug addiction, who the meme implies would react with the same fervor as the revolutionary crowd to this money-making opportunity. The joke leans into the absurd juxtaposition of a major historical revolutionary address being compared to sharing a tip for scavenging high-value tech scrap, with the underlying punchline referencing the large amounts of unused gold and other precious metals sitting in data center infrastructure.

So much gold, wasted
