Bloody Stupid Johnson is that you?
they are doing their part. the rainfall one isn’t even turned on.
and this is clearly only on medium pressure, too
Oh but it is. They’re showering in the main bathroom. This one is just for ceremonial purposes, it runs 24/7.
That would be awful! I’d have to spend 45 minutes adjusting each one to the perfect temperature!
Did you send the underage bathroom children home? Not only will you have to adjust each one now, you won’t have children to abuse before bed. That’s not very billionaire of you.
Do billionaires ask people to save water? I’m not sure most billionaires really care how much water they or anyone else uses. I don’t think most billionaires even pretend to be conservationists.
That’s still just a drop in the bucket.
A single almond uses 5 liters of water to grow to harvest. And yet somehow that’s supposed to be more environmentally friendly as a milk alternative.
They always blame em the consumer instead of having industry be more efficient.
You’re joking, right? Dairy Milk requires not just way more water but also space, work and a deeply unethical business concept (cows have to constantly be impregnated to produce milk, the antibiotics they’re given en’ mass are destroying our most important drugs’ effectiveness, the food we give the cows could feed multiple humans, ecetera).
Almond milk is also the most demanding of the alternatives as far as I know. Oat milk is even more efficient, and other than with cows we can still make farming them more efficient (drip-farming, Solarfarming - crops have higher yields and lower water needs in partial shadow as well - ecetera).
Not sure where you got your opinion from. There are good alternatives.
If you blend plant-based ‘meat’, it makes ‘milk!’
Now compare it to the water used to grow animal feed and the animals themselves.
they’ve not turned on the one at the top yet, they’re obviously trying to save water by doing that. /s
This does save water because the water comes out at 1200psi and cleans them in less than a second so only a pint of water is used.

We still should though. We outnumber them hundreds of millions to one.
Their hypocrisy is a good reason to ignore them. They’re not role models.

In the year of our lord 2026, it’s more like they TELL us to save water while standing in that shower making constant eye contact with the camera with water running down their face. And just before their message ends you see a cloud zip past a window behind them because they’re on a private jet while recording it.
The thumbnail for this meme looks like a robotic goatse.
those people that kayaked to epstein island in a hurricane found out that epstein had a weird building featuring a kitchen with children’s tableware, an office that also kinda looks like a casting couch kinda setup, and one of those kind of showers which had an oily floor.
This is an argument for cynicism and inaction. And it’s servile boot-licking to insist that wealthy people should set moral cultural standards for the rest of us.
I live in the southwest US, water saving measures for households are basically as good as they can get without asking people to stop bathing every day. And really it’s not household use (even wasteful household use) here that threatens aquifers, it’s relentless pumping of ground water and overuse of river water for agriculture. In California in particular this is tied up with water rights that allow farmers to use excessive amounts of water with minimal or no cost associated with it. Not all of what’s grown is even a food product either, ex alfalfa.
Obviously we need farms and food, but we have to modernize how plants are watered to minimize water loss. Drip irrigation is much more effective, but since it costs more money than just flooding a ditch many farmers don’t bother.
Isn’t CA craziest water user the almond industry? Other than data center bullshit.
Household use is 5 million acre feet/ year in CA. Almond use is 6.8 million acre feet. Alfalfa and other crops to feed cattle is about 8 million acre feet.
An acre foot is 325,851 gallons, or how much water it takes to cover an acre in a foot of water.
As long as animal agriculture exists in the state that’ll pretty much always be a bigger water user. But they’re not low water plants for sure.
It’s just calling out hypocrisy… It’s not making a claim that others shouldn’t engage in conservation just because billionaires won’t.
Calling out the ever-popular duo of cynicism and inaction on Lemmy is not going to go over well.
