Lemmy is hostile to virtue signaling that leads nowhere (or somewhere worse if enough people do it). Post an idea that's actually useful instead, and we will intently listen.

They do have a special name though - "the product"

It is another Firefox fork. If Firefox is in trouble, so is this project.

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called "feds."

It was in the New York Times and ProPublica. Others are probably just getting to it.

Me too! My favorite is that some river turtles can breathe through their assholes.

Does this sound like a right wing conspiracy theorist to you? https://youtu.be/NWxISwEBU0U

Actually, it seems that it isn't just concept art. So I guess they are using seawater.

There is some concept art, so maybe that idea got scrapped for some reason?

I was under the impression that the bulk of water consumption for modern water parks was from ~~flushing toilets~~ bathroom facilities, so I'll have to defer to your assumption of 20 gallons per hour for a slide. If a slide can accommodate 20 kids per hour, that means 1 gallon per kid, which seems pretty reasonable.

I doubt much of the water is wasted, though a tiny bit of spillage and a bit more evaporation is expected. The rest is pumped back to the top, as it would be hard to source fresh water fast enough to just waste it.
