The joke references debates over data center water consumption.
Positive users praised the VC joke that girlfriends and data centers both use little water as a banger or truth, while negative users called it one of the worst tweets and dismissed the claim with sarcasm about lobbying.

@alth0u It's a datacenter that would run even better if it just consumed some water today

@alth0u And doesn’t produce any data
having a gf is insane bc its like a datacenter in that it doesn't actually consume much water

@alth0u Although she probably should drink some more water

@alth0u It should be consuming more actually

@alth0u And they actually take in heat rather than produce it themselves

@alth0u I'm sure tech companies spent millions lobbying in the EU to make datacenter water usage 'confidential and commercially sensitive' because they are using so little of it. oh wait https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/08/georgia-data-centers-water-00909988?ref=am-quickie.ghost.io

@alth0u One of the worst tweets of all time

@alth0u In many ways, caring for a gf is like caring for vegetables.
