79 °F (26 °C)?! That's the unbearable temperature you need the AC for. If that was the limit, there'd be no point in having it, at least where I am. 20 °C (68 °F) is room temp and comfortable, although I'd prefer 18 °C (64 °F).
79 is where I set my air to be when it's 105 outside. Gawd I wish it was 79 outside.
My balls would freeze off in 18C mate what the hell
26 is okay, 30+ is hot

My electricity company says 76 is a good target, and I've grown accustomed to it. If sedentary, it actually feels a little cold. People acclimate to their local climate (last summer, daily highs were 100-110 for something like 3 months straight where I live).

I specifically asked for five pictures of girls with one tit. No wonder the usage is so high!

Interesting statistics on this (mind you, this is all from quick Google searches because I was curious). Data centers use about 90 billion kWh of power a year globally (which seems to include servers, cooling, and all the misc energy usage) while AC use is about 250 billion kWh per year globally.
Of that 90 billion kWh a year, I have no clue how much of it is used on AI (and how much AI is going to increase that number in the future) but it seems like, today at least, AC usage puts a lot more stress on the power grid than data centers do.
You also have to account for how that power is used. Data centers will use a pretty consistent amount all year long where AC usage spikes when needed hitting the grid with huge loads all at once.
I think (mostly based on articles like this one that I’ve been finding) that we aren’t seeing really how much energy they’re using and how quickly they’re growing in consumption.
Kinda wish the people I rent from would do this. They keep theirs at like 65 and I've been freezing my nuts off in their basement all summer. It's their house and they deserve to be comfortable in it but damn. It's a good excuse to keep active I guess.
