A Warning Against Planting Japanese Knotweed Near Data Centers
A public service announcement sign warns against planting Japanese knotweed near data centers, noting that even a small root piece can spread rapidly and pose a significant risk to building foundations. The sign highlights that the plant is notoriously difficult to remove once established. The image is paired with a meme featuring characters from the animated series Phineas and Ferb, suggesting a mischievous intent to ignore the warning.

Problem is, once they abandon the data center you still have the invasive knotweed around...
So government can come and clean the site with your tax dollars because too big to fail
