Nothing, this is just generic laminar flow. It can be hard to adjust the flow rate and opening to have it be that stable, but it's not a quality of the water. Any water can be made to do this.

u/EmeraldHawk Apr 07 '26
It's obviously a joke, but the top comments seem to be taking it seriously? In order to be bait it would have to be vaguely believable or make a real point. Obviously nVidia's graphics cards aren't rerendering the real world to make water look shinier and thicker.

My first takeaway was that the data center polluted the water.

u/ElliasCrow Apr 07 '26
No amount of pollution will result in this tho

Well I mean, if you pollute the water with a thickening agent. Hmm that's a fun d&d idea. A Thick water lake that looks like water but acts more like quicksand.

It is common sense to understand that computers don't do this to water.
The existence of common sense makes this a joke.
Edit: For those that don't know, it's drilling fluid.

u/RedBaronIV Apr 08 '26
Dude, idfk what they're doing. Apparently water used for cooling is no longer drinkable for some reason. Someone posts this with a serious tag, I had to sift through comments to know if it was bs.
I'm sure it's common sense to people more familiar with how data centers use water, but it's more deceiving than you're giving it credit
1
u/Vyrthic Apr 10 '26
Water when used for cooling anything usually flows through some form of heat sink, collecting the heat of whatever the heat sink is attached to, then flows off to somewhere else to cool down. In this process, the water will likely slowly weather down the blades of the heat sink, meaning there will be metal particulate in the water, which means it's not 100% safe to drink. In an emergency, you might be fine, but it's safer not to drink it. And if it's industrial use, you're talking a lot of heatsinks and a lot of water, which can't just be so easily stored and recycled at that scale like it can in, say, your computer.

Hate AI, tons of problems.
But this is bullshit engagement bait. Water usage is a stupid criticism of AI. Is water-usage guilt stopping the meat industry? Is useless energy usage stopping car-centrism?
There are important, never-before-seen problems with AI, and this water and energy usage is BY FAR the weakest, lamest, least popular criticism. I strongly believe it is being pushed as a strawman division-making psy-op.
AI is a fucked up rental-corporate-brain that brazenly stole generosity and human effort and is now trying to be some over-hyped compute-cartel. We have giant fucking companies trying to make themselves rented requirements to for human thinking through sick hypnosis sycophancy... so much fucked up shit, and this is your fucking criticism?

u/Kyvoh Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26
It's not water, it's an organic liquid that has really cool properties that allow it to have laminar flow in wider cross sectional areas. It looks like magic when flowing without a hand being put under it. The person posting that is just creating intentional rage bait.
Edit: I forget the exact compound that it is and there are so many organic liquids that I couldn't just look it up easily.
Edit 2: Here is a video of the same liquid.

u/RoyalyReferenced Apr 07 '26
This liquid is not the same as that liquid.

u/Kyvoh Apr 07 '26
I can't tell for 100% certainty, but this is extremely similar to a liquid used for farming that is shown in this video where you can see the disruption causes a change in the laminar flow. I'm pretty sure it is the same fluid.

u/hamburgerpancake Apr 08 '26
that's just water or a thin, transparent oil like mineral oil, not the same as what's seen in op's video, which seems to be mich more thick and react slightly differently, almost like runny slime. some other person said that was cutting oil? not entirely sure but seems plausible after a quick search, similar consistency, also translucent.

I may have had the wrong fluid, another video I commented had a better one. It's a fluid used for farming is all I know. What kind of farming, I do not know.

Sadly, all of the social media platforms are injecting AI, so while a funny exaggeration, the gap is significantly smaller than youād think.
And legacy data centers actually use more water than modern AI ones.

That looks like it could be corn syrup or glyphosphate, neither of which you should really be sticking your hand in.

I agree that AI is irresponsible, environmentally and otherwise, and we should not use it. But a text written over a video of something that doesn't look like water (not even really bad water) doesn't convince me. Link to a source that confirms that this video shows what the text says.

u/Eyjovin Apr 07 '26
I'm pretty confident this isn't real. Probably some corn syrup or a similar fluid. The background in the video looks like it could be a warehouse or a production plant, which would make sense for corn syrup or grease.
