New idea

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?

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.
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

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!

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.
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

You spent too long engaging the joke then. Corporate theft issues aside this is the perfect use of AI. Its 5 seconds and move on...

This is a normal thing in Germany. It is called Fernwärme and uses insulated pipes.

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?!
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.

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

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.

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

Wait. That's a different problem than hot water just from my basement. The basement is slow, but has nothing to do with neighbors. I think we live in different countries.

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

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

The mains are shared with your neighbours, so a hot water main would also be shared with neighbours. So just like running the hot water in the bathroom sink before a shower means hot water gets to the shower quicker, with hot water mains, your neighbour having a hot shower before you means you'll see hot water sooner.
Though my country does not have hot water mains. I wouldn't be surprised if the heat losses are enough that even sharing a water heater between unattached neighbours is less efficient than both using their own heaters, let alone a whole city doing that. Though maybe tropical areas could do it.

Victoriocity has a town with hot coffee infrastructure

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.

Idiocracy already came up with that

wrote last edited by [email protected]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
