A bilingual satire compares toilet flushes with the estimated water use of ChatGPT requests, and lets visitors make a personalized share link.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-14 issue.

For: People arguing about AI’s water footprint
Worth noticing: Its 6-liter flush is set against roughly 18,750 requests using the page’s disputed 0.32 ml-per-request estimate.

Field notes

Visitors can tally flushes using old, full, and half toilet settings of 9, 6, and 3 liters. A form also accepts names, approximate daily AI request counts, and a language to make a personalized link for sharing through listed messaging and social channels. The page attributes its 0.32 ml-per-request estimate to Sam Altman’s June 2025 essay, notes that the figure is disputed, and says nothing is stored.
