    It's not April 1st today is it?
    Apparently, the UK government is suggesting that my email archive is causing a drought ... https://www.theverge.com/science/758275/drought-delete-files-email-data-center-water-uk?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb

    Can't see it myself, I suspect that removing teenager Gentelemens Special Interest materrial woudl free up more space and thus save a lot more water!

      We could probably save a lot more by deleting politicians.

        I probably don't have to explain this, but it's not your few emails, it's the billions of emails people (needlessly) store (yes, I'm fun at parties).

        That being said, I think there are far better methods to save water than deleting emails, like, and I'm going out on a limb here, taking shorter showers and reusing towels.
        Ok, now that I'm reading my own suggestion I think that's crazy talk and we should stick to the email thing ;)

          @Sander-Rossel You got this in my head "Sycophants is on the prowl so I don't need to do laundry
          I'll dry myself with paper towels"

          It's from a song called Syrup by Aesop Rock, and it's basically about agoraphobia.
