We NEED to talk about this new ad for Garage Beer and Liquid Death that came out today featuring Jason Kelce, which includes a very interesting suggestion for cooling data centers without using our fresh water supply.

The video opens with Kelce standing in front of a toilet, urinating. "AI data centers waste millions of gallons of water," he says.

"That's why Liquid Death and Garage Beer have decided to team up," he continues on. "We want your pee to cool these data centers."

Music starts to play, and then Kelce steps out of the fourth wall into a grassy field. "We want your pee," he begins to sing. "Please give us your pee. Let's pee on computers together!"

As Kelce continues walking forward, more and more people begin to join, carrying pee in varying containers. They all continue singing in unison, "'Cause we need lots of pee, endless gallons of pee. Join our important endeavor!"

The group continues singing about collecting urine and peeing "on computers together to save humanity." A voiceover says that with the companies' new beverages, "It's never been easier to create pee." A urinating eagle flies overhead.

The voiceover continues, "So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and have another Garage Beer or Liquid Death Sparkling Energy. Then send your pee to the AI data center of your choice." The crowd marches toward an outpost labeled "Post Office."

Importantly, there's a tiny disclaimer in this shot that reads: "The suits want us to tell you to please don't actually send your pee."

Finally, a woman slams down her jug of pee onto the countertop for a displeased postal worker.

The "collectible mug" says: "Data center coolant."

The commercial ends with the crowd dramatically raising their hands to the sky, singing, "We want your pee!"

I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that people online have a LOT to say about the commercial, with many joking about the concept. "I’d pay good money to hear the conversation where he explained this video to Kylie," said one person.

"My Taylor tumbler is always full. So I stand ready," said another.

"Hilarious and the disclaimer was gold."

@SouthernGrace88 / Via x.com
"Brilliant idea. I’ll definitely be doing my part."

"*Complex environmental issues regarding data center* Jason Kelce: Piss on em’."

Others thought it was a clear marker of current anti-AI sentiment in the US. "And I was told by some people that the public isn't paying attention to data centers," one person said.

"temperature check on public AI sentiment: Kelce brother ad focused on mailing piss jars to data centers."

"crazy that jason kelce is reading the room on data centers better than a chunk of the political establishment."

Still, other folks absolutely hated it. "All this did was gross me out," someone said.

And finally, "Completely repulsive, must have been a big check."
