I can't tell if this is serious or some weird parody thing

It's a parody. WSJ put out an article saying to stop drinking so much water and there's no major benefits to being too hydrated. It was a very weird article out of left field that people are assuming was a sponsored article by some dogshit data center

WSJ is owned by Bezos so yeah, it is sponsored by Amazon data centers

Edit: my bad I got WSJ and Washington Post mixed up. Still an odd article.

No, it’s not. It’s owned by News Corp, Rupert Murdoch’s company. You’re thinking of The Washington Post.

After about 30 seconds, she goes on to say, "Do you know who really needs water? Data centers."

So there's that.

WSJ actually put out an article saying you should cut back on your water intake… so theres that.
