Gather round for the story of the Very Hungry Data Centre...

🧵(1/4)

#datacentre #ai

A parody of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Text reads "The Very Hungry Data Centre" and the image shows a large black-and-brown shape, like a rounded rectangle with the top divided into three 'towers', with a smiling face reminiscent of the Very Hungry Caterpillar in the middle - red with yellow and green eyes.

Text reads "One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of nowhere came a very hungry data centre."

Image shows the VHDC on brown ground with the orange sun rising.

Text reads "On Monday he drank a quarter of the city's annual drinking water."
Image shows a blue shape, with a circle cut out of the middle, reminiscent of the foods with circles cut out in the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Text reads "On Tuesday he ate so much that he doubled demand on the country's power-grid.
So he opened a new gas plant, just for him."
Image shows two yellow spiky shapes representing electricity, also with circles cut out of them.
