New idea

Ew, ai.

dAIry. Conspiracy confirmed.
- this is all gampys fault, he shoulda shot that cow he found eating chips
Ewww people defending raping other animals.
- no one is doing that
Ew, content promoting ~~animal rape~~ dairy.
- People would probably be more supportive of your cause if you didn't exaggerate in the most extreme and incorrect ways
- It could be a femboy milk pipe, you don’t know.
- Thanks for calling it out. Something needed to be said with this post

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?!

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
Its impossible to tell who's acting outraged for a joke and who's getting whooshed.
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.
- 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.
- 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
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.

Beer pipeline are a thing. At the Hellfest festival all the bars are connected to a beer pipeline fed by tankers trucks of beer.

There's a permanent beer pipeline in Bruges connecting a brewery with the bottling plant 3km away
- How about the CO2? German companies developed a system that catches all the CO2 and puts it back into the beer before bottling, because the CO2 from the beer tastes better than "regular" CO2

Cafe latte addicts' dream setup

Huh? Does people have coffee in their milk? Why would you want to taint milk?
cafe latte service competition has arrived.
this reminds me of someone who lived near a brewery and got a line installed in his house. this happened long ago and i don't remember the details

As long as the shower had a milk faucet

For, you know... Things...
- Which country was this btw?
Found Cleopatra's Lemmy's account
- yea, that wasn't milk....

Cum pipes when??

They're called dicks
- Richard pipelines?

I thought of having soda faucets like that as a kid.

That should be doable. You can carbonize the water and inject syrup.
- That is how (home use) soda machines work. Although the syrup gets usually mixed in while pouring into a glass.

Oh God, the smells

Almost as great of an idea as a direct burial copper water line!

Exactly. Almost as great of an idea as running a 1/2” hot/cold line 100+ ft to a house from… nvm, I give up, this is too stupid to even make a joke.
- Just keep running the hot water, it'll get the cooled water from the pipes out of the system at some point!

Nut milk comes from male cows.

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
I'll save the drip, I'd like sour milk after sitting by the time I need to use the tap.

The Milk Superhighway is coming.

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.

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
You spent too long engaging the joke then. Corporate theft issues aside this is the perfect use of AI. It's 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
This is a normal thing in Germany. It is called Fernwärme and uses insulated pipes.
acceptable in major city with close blocks and no yards. as soon as suburbs exists, bad.

And then, a line for the internet as well!

Why do you need the internet when you have milk?
- Is it subdivided by hot milk and cold milk
- Touché

Better clean that thing well

True it would have to be sterile
- otherwise it'd be yogurt by the time it came to houses 😆

This but with coffee might work in some high density housing.

Why is the milk pipeline so huge? Planning on using 10x milk compared to water? :)

A family of five will use up to 50 gallons of milk a day performing their regular colon cleansing enema. A larger pipeline is not only important for the volume needed to complete the enemas, but also reduces the pressure. this increases the safety of the public and allows them to calm their bowels through milk-meditative-medicine, sponsored by 3M.

Surely it would be two hot 1 cold not the other way around. Everyone knows blue = cold!

Never have I nor ever will I need that much milk

So cold has a return line, but hot has to be released into the environment after use?

I think I just solved global warming

Wasn't there some discussion or pilot implementation of beer lines ?

Idiocracy already came up with that
Victoriocity has a town with hot coffee infrastructure

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

How about a cheese pipe?

When there is an outage cheese comes out instead

OP, you are already living the dream.

When I was a kid I learned that UK at some point had daily milk delivery. That seemed silly. We here in the continental Europe buy milk in cartons from the store, like civilised people!

Milk on tap would qualify as return to such barbarism.

We still do daily milk delivery. Sadly much less common now, but there are still milkmen around.
Also, our daily milk comes in glass bottles with aluminium(?) lids - much more environmentally friendly than a plastic carton!
I would argue that the UHT milk popular on the continent is the actual barbarism here.
Milk delivery was widespread into the 1970s in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_delivery
I thought it was so quaint but learning that the reason for milk delivery was due to a lack of pasteurization (and therefore very rapidly expiring milk), and how many people died by drinking unpasteurized milk quickly dispelled that thought process

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?

Please, please! Put away your milkpipe!

Mmmm, milkline

Cleopatra would love this

Only if it's raw! Hyukhyukhyuk.

chocolate milk

Looks pretty AI slop-y...
