This is a well thought out comment and I agree with most of what you have to say.
The part about data center and water use needs a caveat though. Some of them (but not all!) use a massive amount of water (a google dat a center in oregon was found to have used 25% of the local water supply) and wastewater that comes from the plant could potentially just be getting dumped into the water supply. Companies that are lax in what they do with waste water are what concerns a lot of people. It's a lot like how mining companies would leave behind tailings ponds, pits full of water filled with large amounts of toxic materials like lead and arsenic. Some companies are only using wast ewater to cool their systems though. Others use a closed-loop system which reuse the same water continuously and use much less water.
This article breaks it all down better than I could: https://www.fwpcoa.org/content.aspx?page_id=5&club_id=859275&item_id=130961

I am Lattrommi. Yes, that one. You’ve never heard of me? I’m not surprised. It is often said that anything you put on the internet will live there forever. It becomes immortal. I do everything backwards and wrong. I do not live forever, I am always dying. ¿|√∞²|?

To add to the pizza reheat:
if pizza stale, wet (clean) hand a little bit, wipe it on the bottom of the slice(s) then microwave for 45 seconds (30 seconds if room temperature) add 10 seconds for each slice past the first.
Alternate: microwave any non-hot-and-fresh pizza for half the above designated time, then put in toaster oven on the ‘light toast’ setting.
RE soup:
identify meat in soup. Add ramen packet of same animal flavor. If no animal in soup, add any flavor or add tiny amount of soy sauce
Ramen alternate: Add eggroll that best matches ramen flavor. If frozen eggroll, microwave 30 seconds.
RE ice:
most liquids can be put in ice cube trays. not milk (it curdles/separates). no alcohol (wont freeze most likely). Try soda, pomegranite juice, peppermint oil (dilute 1:10 to 1:20 or to taste), fruit juices, soup broth, applesauce, coffee, etc
Alternate for milk (freeze these and add to milk): nutella, chocolate syrup (might not freeze), simple syrup (if it doesn’t freeze, dilute with water)

I can’t offer any good advice, just take consolation in the fact that I have done some of the same, but likely worse. I try to switch to a new email, don’t fully migrate or close the old one, end up with a convoluted mess, end up just checking emails individually. I have protonmail, 4 gmails and a yahoo account. Yes yahoo. Part of that is sentimental, I signed up for it in 1998 and it’s hard to let go. I have a folder of email bookmarks and just right click ’open all in new tabs’ to check them. As for passwords, well, I wont talk about that. It’s not good but still not worst practices at least.

The fear of missing out is something that used to worry me. Having been an avid proponant of the good videogames can do and having spent obscene amounts of time on them and basing almost my entire social life around them, it was not easy for me to quit.
So I didn’t technically quit exactly. My full new year’s resolution was to “quit watching tv and movies, and quit playing videogames, until improving my life considerably.” It’s easier to say it the way I did in my previous comment.
This way, it’s not so much that I actually quit for all time, it’s that I’ve stopped temporarily to focus on learning and self improvement, hoping I will be able to change my circumstances for the better and live a more stable life before going back to gaming as a sort of reward.

I built my own PC, a tower with a 16 core 32 thread cpu, 128 gb of ram, 16 gb of vram and i make sure to keep it cold enough to handle playing minesweeper on expert.
i’m kidding, i quit gaming in 2020 as a new years resolution.
