Bamboo is invasive in north America. Don’t
So are the data centers
What you REALLY REALLY REALLY SHOULDN’T DO is to introduce Pharaoh ants into or near data centers.
Because…

The also reproduce through clonal budding. The build very small colonies (a few hundreds to thousands of ants) and when stressed due to anything, 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.
Chaotic good post.
Where can i purchase these ants?
Well they have basically a global distribution: https://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/urban-pests/ants/pharoah/
But if you need a quick fix, I know a guy who knows a guy… hint hint nudge nudge…
Can you cross breed them with fireants?
You can come to my house and take them all
Bro, those ants need an uber to the nearest data center.
Do not plant eucalyptus either.

Please don’t plant bamboo in non-native areas. It’s much better to find a protected native species and plant those instead :)
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.
I respect the omission of /s and that you’re taking this firing squad of down votes like a champ.
The /s is cowardice.
Those who appreciate it make it all worthwhile :)
Not extreme enough for satire in 2026
Lol, Bro doesn’t know about biodiversity collapse and how it will effect them.
To be fair once a data center is built there’s probably not much biodiversity left to collapse.
This seems like a concern for a person who believes he lives in a world with a future, not a person seeking revenge for the destruction and loss of the future he believes he’s already lost.
See that’s where you’re wrong.
Clearly the only way to protect the ecosystem is to destroy it ourselves?
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.
Don’t think planting possibly invasive species will solve any problems.
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.
*notices comm name*
uh… fuck you op…?
Nah! *Fuck yo data centers!
I mean, same can be said about datacenters…
yeah but if you blow up a datacenter it won’t spontaneously regenerate in your backyard
k u d z u
bamboo and tree of heaven at every DC building’s foundation’s edge. poison hemlock also, as an de-incentive for any class traitor who’s decided to work there
Did you know there exists 1200 kinds of bamboo? Let’s cover up the whole world with them instead of datacenters :D
This nonsense again?
Look what community you are in?.. What did you expect?
What? Nature is against this affront to nature? How odd.
