Not sure if it’s what the screenshot used (all these translator UIs look the same), but Kagi has a translator that allows putting arbitrary language in the language select box. Backed by a slop factory of course.

Fun to play around with and post screenshots I suppose, though I fail to see the use beyond that.

Can’t some things can just be… Fun? There was no “use” in Googling “do a barrel roll” or “askew” and having your webpage spin around or tilt to the side, but when silly things like that went away we all miss it.

Do a barrel roll didn’t require sucking up the sum total of human knowledge and water…
Obligatory about the water
This seems misleading but even assuming 100% accuracy this would only matter if we were currently adding farmland at unprecedented rates to multiple places that cannot handle having more water being used.

This is the entire year of 2024.

Another great example comparing it to corn water intake.

A good blog post about it the other day, obviously a few caveats comparing metrics like this but it’s good enough to get a grasp that on a nation wide scale water usage isn’t really a problem. It can however affect local communities with bad data center placement (similar to agriculture) www.andymasley.com/visuals/water/
