Wasn’t there some discussion or pilot implementation of beer lines ?
Idiocracy already came up with that
Why is the milk pipline so huge? Planning on using 10x milk compared to water? :)
Make sure you let your milk line drip overnight if you’re up north. Otherwise the pipes will freeze.
You drip them to get ice cream and prevent freezing; it’s a win-win
Never have I nor never will I need that much milk
but what about choccy milk and capuchin lines?
Need a strawberry milk line too! We don’t want the pink cows going extinct now do we?
Mmmm, milkline
Looks pretty AI slop-y…

OP, you are already living the dream.
I love the comments here.
OP: uses AI to illustrate five-second throwaway gag
average poster: is that AI? burn him! burn the witch!
armchair plumbers: you can’t bury pipes that shallow, and why the heck would you do direct burial?
armchair engineers: do you know how much heat you’re wasting?!
I’m more curious how a hot water main works? Is there just millions of miles of heated pipes underground? And I thought a gas boiler was inefficient.
There’s a few places that use the water runoff from a nuclear power plant to provide hot water or heating to surrounding homes. Apparently they only have a lose about 3% of the heat and can supply a 100km area.
Obviously the pipes probably don’t look like that
Any time you want hot water, you need to wait for all of the water between your house and the heating facility to drain before you get hot water. It can help to coordinate with your neighbours.
Wait. That’s a different problem than hot water just from my basement. The basement is slow, but has nothing to do with neighbors. I think we live in different countries.
The mains are shared with your neighbours, so a hot water main would also be shared with neighbours. So just like running the hot water in the bathroom sink before a shower means hot water gets to the shower quicker, with hot water mains, your neighbour having a hot shower before you means you’ll see hot water sooner.
Though my country does not have hot water mains. I wouldn’t be surprised if the heat losses are enough that even sharing a water heater between unattached neighbours is less efficient than both using their own heaters, let alone a whole city doing that. Though maybe tropical areas could do it.
Its impossible to tell who’s acting outraged for a joke and who’s getting whooshed.
Perfect. At least some of the people are not asleep at the wheel and can still keep the place they like garbage-free.
I like that people can and do express that LLM slop is not welcome here.
Honestly I wasn’t going to post this, because it’s an AI meme. I just thought the whole juxtaposition of the obvious AI image and the idea itself was so stupidly funny
Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.
This is a normal thing in Germany. It is called Fernwärme and uses insulated pipes.
You spent too long engaging the joke then. Corporate theft issues aside this is the perfect use of AI. Its 5 seconds and move on…
If you run the hot water lines under the streets it can double as snow removal in the winter to help reduce road salt consumption!
…We’ll just pretend we don’t have to worry about making urban heat islands worse in the summer
Iceland does the municipal hot water, at least in large parts of Reykjavik. Although many hotels heat their own, because the sulphur smell from it is somewhat an acquired taste.
Not the milk though, instead they pump fresh cold Skyr.
Most bigger municipalities in Sweden also does hot water for central heating - some and have just recently begun adding central cooling via cold water too
So cold has a return line, but hot has to be released into the environment after use?
I think I just solved global warming
AI?
Pipes don’t connect like that underground. They’re buried too shallow, and the dirt barrier surrounding the pipes looks too clean. Pipes don’t go all the way to the house, and are just shown entering dirt at some point. Why not excavate it all?
Edit: also grass looks too perfect
The Milk Superhighway is coming.
Nut milk comes from male cows.
How about a cheese pipe?
When there is an outage cheese comes out instead
