    They always were, just now we’re seeing physical attacks on them instead of cyberattacks.

    Very little negative impact on the average person, low staff numbers, frees up water and electricity for the people. Personally, I can’t think of a better target.

          What percentage do you think accounts for that? Sure, some instances, but the largest absolutely are indatacenters.

          But it’s a distraction. You ready to grow your own food? Immediately? Because losing datacenters means losing credit/debit cards. No cash because banks can’t connect to each other. No deliveries to stores. Society would literally fucking collapse.

          But all these fucking idiots can do is ignorantly chant “destory all datacenters” because they don’t fucking know what they’re talking about.

            I’m ok with Amazon’s data centers going down too. The internet has grown far too centralized anyway.

              It’s wild that the Internet was designed to be decentralized, then…

              That’s take down Reddit and a whole host of other websites and know what, I’m for it. Teach these fucks a lesson on building up actual redundancy or diversification.

          Go to a bar or some other place where people are social, you’ll find that you can talk to people without using the internet.

            Go to a bar and your neat little cards in your pocket? They won’t work without the internet. The bar will doon run out of tasty drinks because they can’t get deliveries anymore. And go to the bank to get some cash to use? Also fails without the interconnections that run across the internet.

            All these twits saying to remove every datacenter are ignorant of the world. Wildly and proudly ignorant.
